Isn't it about now that the German car makers should be starting to kick up a fuss, and putting pressure on the EU's negotiators??

Germany urges Britain to be more 'realistic' in Brexit negotiations.

Expressing deep disappointment over deadlocked negotiations over Britain's future relationship with the bloc, Michael Roth said he was "disappointed that London is shifting further and further away from the political declaration agreed between us as a reliable basis for negotiations".

"I would like those responsible in London to be more realistic and pragmatic.

The Brits are known for the latter," he said.

BOE now accepts that its own predictions are less helpful than useful.

Where do they get these people from?

I read yesterday that a company was returning 45 million furlough funding but my poor memory can't for the life of me remember which one grahamite2.

Correction it was William Hill and 24.5 million.

BBC spends £38 million on call centres and staff to chase over-75s for licence fee

The BBC is spending £38 million on chasing over-75s for the TV licence fee, warning that it will "enforce the law" if pensioners refuse to pay but continue to watch television....

Is there some sort of hook/catch to taking furlough funding?

[grahamite2] 06/8/2020 08:46

Interesting freddie. And note that The Spectator and The Daily Telegraph have returned all their furlough funding and withdrawn from the scheme.

[freddie01] 06/8/2020 08:26

The billionaire owners of Merseyside chain Home Bargains rejected furlough funds from the government and instead,

created a £30 million fund for its employees from their own funds.

This would pay full salary to workers who would have to self isolate for 2 weeks, as well as those with health conditions

or were older who would have to isolate for longer.

Those who didn’t need to self isolate get a 10 per cent increase in salary and 2 weeks bonus salary to compensate them during the period.

This is how you do ethical business in a pandemic…

Were delighted that weve managed to tempt one of Scotlands finest economic minds out if retirement to head up this project at a time that can only be described as a National Emergency. Both Nicola and I are convinced that with Fred heading up this project Scotlands Economic outlook will go from strength to strength.

If they go: 1. Who's money will they use? 2. Will the EU want them?

Neil Innes-Smith6 Aug 2020 3:06AMSpain, France, Belgium and Holland are all going through second spike in cases and the governments are likely to choke off recovery. But the resurgence in cases is not being matched by deaths which remain a fraction of March and April numbers.

Have really stuck with this one. Bought in again just before the management bought. In one way disappointed and another I think they see upside. This really testing patience !
