"Doom and gloom buywell with no ideas".

Says the suggestion resistant poster. He was probably still fitting lead pipes in his plumbing business for all drinking water.

#797. Typical rubbish. Better to look closer to home.

Wrong type of leaves on the way.

alan turner31 May 2020 4:59AMIt is textbook Keynesian stimulus. This keeps companies going, household costs drop as mortgage costs and lending costs drop. Companies employ more people. Economic expansion results.In addition sensible government infastructure and other spending on research and development would be welcome when borrowing costs are so low. Indeed if you can borrow for 30 years at 1-2% why not borrow £200billion turn it into a sovereign wealth fund and invest it in FTSE 350 and S&P500 and get a 4-7% per annum return over 30 years.4LikeReplyPaul Kingsley31 May 2020 7:17AM@alan turner What could possibly go wrong? Should I mortgage my house and invest it in a FTSE tracker?1LikeReplyGareth Davies31 May 2020 7:51AM@alan turner Sensible government spending - er oxymoron alert or "let's waste other people's money on ourselves and our mates." I'm afraid I'm old enough to remember Keynsesian stimulae and the 70's - an episode with a very unhappy ending.

George Faulkner31 May 2020 8:21AM"The UK stock market has lately been rather buoyant. ".....not quite as buoyant as it was 20 years ago. The UK economy has actually gone backwards. That's why investors have moved their money elsewhere.

797 - who could possibly devise more of a dog's dinner than that! Typical Brussels job creation scheme.

It is good for the UK to be FREE. Of anti trade anti tax.

Fer krisakes, would anyone here trust a Chinese vaccine - especially if it were concocted by Huawei, lol.

Actually, it is not quite as simple as that.

If you owe me £50 and I die, in practise you may be able to forget the debt.

If you owe a bank £50,000 and the bank goes bust, again in practise the debt may be sold on but you may not get chased.

If the banking system goes up the spout, then debts will not be chased.

Most think we are all on one big jolly ;-)

And then, when furlough ends, they still probably have a month worth of holiday entitlement.

Max.
The question is not one of safty, it is far more one of epidemiology.
People have got to discipline themselves into being sensible. It is not what you do but how you do it. 2 metres.
