You cant sack these mandarins, they have Rolls Royce brains, just like Min.

Why are people panicking, the world goes on, given there is no antidote to coronavirus concern is clear, but millions of people die of flu every year, but if mankind is to continue then markets will have to recover. Famine and global environmental changes a far larger threat. I do not wish anyone or myself, particularly elderly to contract this strain, but one has to have faith!

At least the gap has been closed.

If Ministers shake up the lefties in the civil service and try to implement what the people voted for they're deemed to be bullies. If they maintain the status quo they're deemed to be weak and ineffective.

These mandarins in high places should have their pay linked to milestone achievements. If they're obstructive or less than helpful they should be moved elsewhere and quickly. Presumably sacking these people is not an option as it would be in any other job.

J P Morgan announced they want to launch a current account in the UK that takes all of 5 minutes to open and has all the benefits and more. Bad news for Lloyds!!

Home Office civil servant at heart of Priti Patel 'bullying' claims 'obstructed and undermined successive home secretaries - but kept his £190,000-a -year job despite being "nowhere to be seen" during the Windrush scandal'

From the media...Political witch hunt?...





The civil war within the Home Office has deepened after MI5 was dragged into a row over whether the home secretary had been shut out of intelligence briefings.

A security source denied that MI5 bosses were failing to share information with Priti Patel as they "do not trust her", insisting she received the same briefings as previous home secretaries.

The extraordinary row stems over claims in The Sunday Times that officials had reduced the amount of intelligence given to the home secretary and regularly “roll their eyes” at her interventions.



“The spooks find her extremely difficult to deal with,” a source told the paper. “She doesn’t grasp the subtleties of intelligence. It’s not black and white. They don’t have confidence in her abilities.”

It comes amid ongoing hostilities at the Home Office, with Ms Patel accused of bullying and trying to oust her top civil servant, Sir Philip Rutnam. Her allies believe the claims are being briefed to newspapers by hostile civil servants.


In a highly unusual intervention, a security source, said: "Reports suggesting that the home secretary and MI5 don't have a strong working relationship are simply untrue.

"The home secretary is briefed daily on intelligence matters in exactly the same way as any previous post holder.

Oh diddums, poor top Civil Servant being bullied by Priti Patel.

This coronavirus seems to be getting the world in a panic!! Apparently it is quite mild and not as bad as flu, strange how we don't see the media talking to the ones who have had it and got better. Look at Italy, people stocking up at the Supermarkets!!!

Look at Lloyds!! dropping like a stone....Should we be buying??

[jordaggy] 24/2/2020 08:21

JPM announcing a UK bank operation is having an effect too...tough times ahead.

[mikemichael2] 24/2/2020 08:13

dalep (and others) - agreed, major boost to the economy (sugar rush?) expected on March 11th but might only last for a relatively short period. The biggest risk for the short to medium term is coronavirus. Back in again after bailing out last year, happy to sit, wait and let the dividends accumulate (for now).

[dalep716] 23/2/2020 22:59

Economy on an upward curve, lord knows why, house prices rising, massive investment in infrastructure pending. The only way is up up up, or down.

I'm sorry the law doesn't always work in the gammon favour.

Perhaps because judges are not gammons.....

I'm sure, over the years, they have read more than the odd tabloid.

LOL

Any day is a decent one if it ends like this!
