In the otherwise ugly EU quarter in Brussels, something of a building boom is going on. There's the €300m (£241m)-plus being spent to convert an art deco pile into a palace fit for a European president. In a nearby park another €100m makeover is creating the European parliament's version of the continent's postwar history. That's after the parliament splashed out another €20m just down the street to create a multimedia tribute to itself last year, the Parliamentarium visitors' centre.

Austerity Europe? Not at the European Union's Brussels HQ. While budgets, public spending, and civil service staffing levels are being slashed from Portugal to Poland, Greece to Great Britain, to be one of the 56,000 EU eurocrats is to escape most of the pain felt in almost every country in the union.

Officially, they work a 37½-hour week and some parliamentary staff are entitled to take Friday afternoons off, though many complain those conditions are theoretical and they in fact work inordinately long hours. Their children are educated for free at high-quality private schools – a big new one has just opened near the Belgian monarchy's summer residence in a leafier part of Brussels. They retire at 63 on generous pensions and dozens a year are granted early retirement on full pensions. According to UK government calculations, 214 of the most

the eu is run by the rich for the benfit of the rich
our uk working class is being destroyed the figures on eu migrants in the uk is out by over 2 m and is going to lead to be troubles in the near future

I will be dead but very concerned for my grand childrens future with no country

[capeview] 19/5/2016 15:28

whitestone, thanks for that. didnt even know it was there. watching now.

Porty, its right up your street and im only 10 minutes in and already makes for an interesting watch. Think of it as News. Its amazing how confusing the EU sounds. And if Im honest, if its this confusing, how the frack are we supposed to have any say or control over those so called MePs that are supposed to be running it for us, when its quite possible that we may have no say whatsoever in how to get rid of them.

[portside1] 19/5/2016 15:16

white no never watch films just horseracing and news go to the club or pub at around 6 ever night .

[portside1] 19/5/2016 14:53

[portside1] 19/5/2016 14:45

ken back to barc added 8000 more this week
and looking to rise above 200p over the next couple of months my view

[portside1] 19/5/2016 14:43

ken, know he is a tax avoider who choses to move is profits out of the uk

in my view and in my world who loves is country I pay my taxes for the good of my country if ever one chose not to pay tax the uk would be a third rate country
and the poor would suffer .
if you do not pay your taxes in the uk you should keep out of uk elections and keep your views to your self .

branson is not a good person by far has no respect for the uk only to exploit it then leave to pay no taxes

all my views as a tax payer and happy to pay my tax

[kenbachelor] 19/5/2016 14:37

Portside - Why do you pay tax? I suggest it's probably because the law says you must. As a good citizen you comply with the law and that's what RB has to do.

Don't blame him. Think of the number of people he employs, who do pay tax.

[clond] 19/5/2016 14:32

And all the way back to 170 p today !!!

[portside1] 19/5/2016 14:27

Sir Richard Branson makes great play of wrapping himself in patriotic trappings to promote his businesses, but Britain's best-known entrepreneur on Sunday revealed he had been living as a tax exile for the last seven years after moving his main residence to a private Caribbean island.

Branson has swapped the union flag for the ensign of the British Virgin Islands, where income is not taxed. Having nominated Necker, an island he bought in the 1970s, as his tax base, he can only spend a maximum of between 46 and 183 days a year in the UK.

and the scumbag has the cheek to tell tax payers how to vote the man is a low life scumbag

[portside1] 19/5/2016 14:22

in campaigners 9 of the in campaigners pay no income tax in the uk including branson who has not paid uk taxes for years .
they are tax exiles

Any particular bubble in mind? Just the buy-to-let mob or more generally? I think there is plenty of steam in London and nationally to see prices rise yet further.

Thanks for the link, it would seem another solid move to appease/please regulators and also attract this type of business with Barclays prepared to consider wider income within their stress level conditions.

Another positive as Staley continues to turn the tanker onto a new course...

Before the bubble bursts Barclays is set to become the latest lender to increase its rental cover requirements.


From 26 May, the lender will increase its rental coverage ratio from 135 per cent to 145 per cent.
