Interesting how many people have popped up today on the 'serious and sensible' threads like BP saying how lucky and clever they were buying in just last week. Not many 'traders' expressing their disappointment at missing out on a booster day. More tripe than careful ! |
can we charge african and carribean nations for giving them our wonderful industrial age inventions ? |
To get out of hock............
We need to file for reparations from the Roman Empire for enslaving us from 43 BCE to around 410 AD. |
Talk of an agreement between Boris and Nigel is amusing.
Given the dire condition of the UK economy with crippling debt after all is accurately accounted for.
It is Probable that Boris/Nigel dream ticket would easily get into power.
Yet it could be argued that both of them helped to cause the disaster.
Boris thought his sloppy economic illiteracy during Covid, and Nigel helping with the economic and immigration disaster that Brexit has caused.
A case of arsonists turned firefighters if ever there was one. |
vote reform UK

UK debt levels well above official figure of 100% of GDP.
Sunday Telegraph Liam Halligan say numbers are fiddled, we are in serious trouble.
Add on unfunded public sector pensions obligation
Add on losses on George Osbornes Gilt purchases at low rates
Add on PFI obligations
These off balance sheet fiddles result in a bankrupt country with a debt of 160% of GDP.
Impossible to solve in a democracy, we shall need baling out yet again followed by austerity.
Whoever is in power, there is a serious problem here, we have been living beyond our means for years. |

Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has said there are "no excuses" to not build (for not achieving)the 1.5 million new homes Labour promised in its election manifesto.
The government has said it will meet the house-building target in England by 2029, before the next general election.

 From Migration Watch:-
We urgently need policies that will tackle each major immigration route: for study; to work; and to join relatives or to marry. Migration Watch has long argued that to do this, caps are essential. Other proposals we have made in the past have included requiring sponsors, such as employers and universities, to ensure the departure of those they have sponsored. Migrants falling foul of the immigration rules should be removed; the wide scope there has long been for gaming the system must be tightened. Grounds for appeal must be restricted. There is much that can, and must, be done to reduce – as near as possible to balance - the dangerously high net migration levels - the sole driver of population growth.

Nigel Farage is prepared to work with Boris Johnson to turf Labour out of government, it has been reported.Sources close to the Reform UK leader said he would consider a pact with the former Prime Minister "in the national interest"....Daily Express...February 25 |

Richard Bassett"Conventional wisom" of the type that all the City's and Treasury's failed elites could agree on but none of it comes close to even correctly diagnosing the problem."There is no silver bullet for the economy..." Yes there is; but too many vested interests won't pursue it because they think like Kate that the goal of government economic policy is to "...deliver the kinds of output necessary to make public service funding sustainable".Wrong, the goal of government is not to sustain the public sector, it is to create the optimum conditions to make the people of Britain as prosperous as possible; if you don't understand that, you can't see the silver bullet.The first part is to stop doing stupid stuff, stop the disastrous tax increases on employment, stop the new opportunity killing Labour laws, stop enriching the public sector at the expense of private sector workers and most of all, stop net zero, entirely.As noted elsewhere in the DT today, cheap energy is the key to economic success everywhere in the world and the UK has the highest energy costs in the world, what does that tell you about future prospect?" Very slow and very steady rate cuts are necessary to create the right conditions for economic growth." Hogwash. The current spread between inflation and core interest rates is low by historic standards. The cost of consumer credit, by contrast, is as high as it's ever been. Knocking 1 or 1.5% off the bank rate won't change any 29% consumer credit contracts.Economic failure in a country as rich as the UK is a choice, not an inevitability. Over the past 28 years governments and voters have made many bad choices and without a reversal of those the future is dim...Daily Telegraph |
Guardian got the wrong proper noun.'Is nothing safe from Trumpian chaos'.Should be 'Rodders'.I see fat black Dave ie Trigger the road sweeper has opened talks with Caribbean re slavery reparations of trillions. I reckon a 22bn black hole will be a drop in the black ocean of black holes by 2029. Decades to recover imo. They are quite round the twist. They seem to have no grasp of reality let alone economics. As they move closer to banning log burners (an action group like JSO is forming and such groups seem to dictate policy) Del Boy is to use our money to subsidise a log burner power station - but only billions and we must have lots of cash to give to Mauritius and the Caribbean. |
