I’m looking at a low of 32p.
And you won’t argue in 3weeks.

[gaffer73] 05/3/2020 09:11

And how did you arrive at that conclusion? Last time this broke 47p it went to 46p before rebounding.

He could have put 'Scottish' instead of 'Scotish', mind u educational standards are falling under the SNP aren't they looool.

[gbh2] 05/3/2020 09:02

Pretty much the same BS that's affect all SPs atm!

[farnesbarnes] 05/3/2020 09:01

37.5p if 47p gives way

@1NHS

To put it bluntly, 39 million deaths out of a population of 7.6billion is 0.5131%

Little to worry about for our political classes I suspect. So why the panic, the extreme measures eg 760million Chinese in lockdown.

Suspect it will be either much worse than 0.51% or this is part of something else. Ramp up the fear to get populaces to acquiesce to loss of freedoms.

@K38

"Here is my opinion.
This virus is a laboratory design, first to correct the markets and destroy chinece economy but it has given problem to all (economies) of us. Human losses are minimal"

It's certainly a Lab design but it's a Chinese lab one. Given lower security/containment levels, it leaked, unintended,into local community.

Human losses will be minimal in phase 1
Economic losses will be far far higher.

Human losses will be significant in phase 2 (The fall/Winter 2020 - ie after the approaching spring/summer)

Phase 3 , in Winter 2021, who knows.

Levelling upBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: MARCH 5, 2020The government has committed itself to levelling up. It wants to adopt policies that spread wealth and income more widely around the country, given the big gaps between London and the rest.It is right to talk positively of levelling up, and not to talk negatively about taxing the rich out of London to bring London's figures down to nearer the national average. It's no help to the other cities of the UK if London is poorer. Indeed, levelling London down might also entail some loss of income and wealth for the rest of the country as well.There are various differences between London and the rest of the country. London's productivity is higher. The capital has many more small and competing companies per 1000 residents than the rest of the nation. There is much more private sector wealth and income per person than elsewhere.One of the curious features of the imbalance is it is much dearer to live, work and set up a business in London than elsewhere, yet more people choose to do it. They do so because they seek access to the better paid jobs, or access to the better off customers that London provides. There are many competing London restaurants, often with high meal prices, yet many of them make a good living. There are so many people in London wanting to buy a meal with the income to pay for them. With more companies and more highly paid people there is more need of lawyers, accountants, business consultants, personal advisers and the rest. In turn these service sector professionals are well paid and create more demand.In some other cities and towns around the country there is a shortage of spending power and free enterprise. Oxford and Cambridge are demonstrating that it is possible for smaller provincial cities to attract a cluster of new investors and businesses around themes or strengths of that place. It requires ensuring there is suitable housing for those with the money to develop a business or to supply the high level talent the businesses need. As the cluster of new activities grows so the city attracts the supporting trades and services that can work with the new wealth creators.Manchester in its prosperous past was King Cotton. Liverpool developed from a great port with many merchant traders. Birmingham was always a big manufacturing and engineering centre. Modern versions of these concentrations of talent and investment will drive wealthier and more productive cities and towns around the country. The levelling up agenda needs to make it easier for them to attract the talent and investment it takes to build a much bigger private sector. The policies needed include lower taxes, more supportive government interventions and fewer penal regulations, and a belief at all levels of government that free enterprise is a big part of the answer, not part of the problem

39 million deaths, trillion dollar slice from global economy, as PWC warns on coronavirus toll

Download 39 million deaths, trillion dollar slice from global economy, as PWC warns on coronavirus toll (1.97 MB)

There are alarming projections about that human toll from the coronavirus with one warning that as many as 39 million people could die in a pandemic.

The dire outlook from the advisory firm PriceWaterhouseCoopers warns half the world's population could contract the deadly disease over the next year.

PWC says a US$1 trillion could be carved from the global economy and $34 billion in Australia where the government's forecast surplus could swing into a heavy deficit not seen since the global financial crisis.

ABC's Peter Ryan with the latest on the economic fallout.

He did not mentioned, i guess BBC fault do not report European news, German airline giant Lufthansa said Wednesday it would ground 150 of its 750 planes worldwide, days after announcing a slimmed-down timetable over the effects of the novel coronavirus.

Have you ever wondered whether you are a psycho minny? Why are you so ecstatic that a UK business has gone down the tubes, probably inconveniencing hundreds of thousands of people and thousands thrown on the dole? Why does that make you happy?

[minerve 2] 04/3/2020 23:49

Flybe looks like it is down the tubes.

Little England is going to take on the world. LOL

Can't even get a domestic flights service to work.

HA HA HA

Back on the M6 everyone or trains that don't run!

ROFLMAO!

The entire civil service & in particular home & foreign office have been marching to the beat of the EU drum. It has been a very convenient relationship for them another layer of bureaucracy for them to be subservient towards like a warm fluffy security blanket.
