M2's post should IMO be extended to cover a basic SWOT or better, a SWOTI analysis.

The media is picking off relative emotional peanuts without getting to grips with the situation. It does not help anybody and certainly does not educate anybody. On here the emotional peanuts go off the scale.

So what are the UK's:
S strengths
W weaknesses
O opportunities
T threats
I issues

Some thoughts over lunch.

G2 - the foreign aid budget is relatively small beer in the total context of things. Not to say that it should not be reviewed but don't get side-tracked and have it on centre stage.

I am with M2 in his post today - better to invest money in your winners - rather than save what are pennies.

I'm guessing Fresdie is a loser reading all of the drivel above.

Not really I find all these rants amusing.






GeckotheGlorious thinking he can put the record straight on the forum.

Grown men arguing every single day.Take a look closer to home and chill out.

Conservative Government. = Stalinst Government now.

Let's not go overboard, old chap!

Boris is delivering a real Brexit, and when he says no deal is better than a bad deal, he means it. He is cracking down on the scandal of foreign aid. He is bringing the overmighty, politicized judiciary to heel.

These things are not nothing.

we've been in a dictatorship in the UK for a while, thing is , not many people have seen it, they have sneaked this in on us slowly, all becoming a bit too obvious now, people are starting to see it, trouble is , it is way too late,

5xy - BRWM has some 33% in gold mining stocks, and a tasty yield.

max #170. Lovely!

5xy: at the right time gold can be very lucrative. Companies that already have proven gold deposits generally do better than explorers in my experience. Problem is it only happens infrequently, and as Mike Moonshine says typically in times of high inflation.

Don't tell Gordon Brown though lol.

The price of gold hit a new all-time high on Monday morning, extending a recent rally driven by weakness in the dollar.Gold (GC=F) was up 1.3% to $1,928.90 (£1,504.72) per ounce in early trade in London. Overnight, the precious metal had touched $1,931.90 per ounce."Today it is all about gold prices and bulls are celebrating the fact that the gold price has hit an all time high," said Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at Avatrade.Gold and silver prices have been rallying in recent weeks as the US dollar has weakened.

Portside, i agree with so much you say, Lloyds was my Business bank a/c, was a nightmare, so glad i no longer use them, totally agree with what you say about Boris, he has lost his balls, no backbone, either step up or make way for someone who can,

[portside1] 27/7/2020 10:34

Yes £134 a week and if they struggled which most did to buy a home they can get no help at all .The home as become their prison ,and can not afford to fix problems ,They are the forgotten and had to work from 15 till 65 Their biggest mistake was saving to buy the home

Mike Moonshine 27 Jul 2020 9:22AMGold was the best performing asset class in the 1970s, and it will be again in the 2020s.Eye watering levels of money printing has consequences, and that is inflation. Gold is one of the few ways to protect yourself.... Never done gold.

I know hundreds of people I do not no anyone who is having money problems non of my family and it is large ,Who are these people in trouble ,Let me quest those that always blame the gov or banks Or landlords it's never them .Ever one who was furloughed was better off than going to work And all those on benefits which most always are ,get their rent council tax paid no insurances to payThey do not have to fix house problems boilers the council fix them Now those with mortgages the gov give them the payments for two years while looking for a job Only the people who retired pre 2016 are the losers that is fact They get on age 134 a week

'The $600 a week additional payment that the US approved to top up unemployment benefits during the pandemic will expire on 31 July'

That's one generous hand out.

Covid has been politicised and weaponised by The Left.

[cheshire pete] 27/7/2020 10:16

Anyone else pick up on the BBC hysteria this morning over quarantine for travellers returning from Spain? Very quick to criticise the Govt. when they thought lockdown delayed but when they act decisively and quickly faced with worsening case numbers from Spain, they're bleating on behalf of the muppets stupid enough to go there in the first place.
In fairness, they probably believed all the rubbish about COVID being worse here than in EU land. Pandemic politicised by BBC and SKY against the Government and Country......disgraceful.
