Nothing dull about gilts! In the good old days we were charging 1/8 on longs. That's £12,500 on £10m nominal. Only 1/32 on shorts.

Brexitards are losing it!

The well-oiled EU deal machine showing the school boys how it is done.

ROFLMAO!

Agree with both the posts above.

The FT has always been a financial paper first, however on other matters it always has been liberal.

Who reads the FT these days other than Guardianista's who fancy themselves as movers and shakers?

[grahamite2] 10/9/2020 22:48

My recollection is that it didn't have a lot to say on "social issues."

I remember a day when literally every other newspaper led with some frightful air accident, but the FT's main headline was "gilts were dull in thin trading" or something of the kind.

FT has always been liberal on social issues back to when I was a kid.

[grahamite2] 10/9/2020 22:40

No, but the FT certainly died as a journal of record and a paper worth reading quite some time ago.

Comment on the FT:

Ever get the feeling that the UK died a while ago and now it’s starting to whiff a bit?

I am nursing losses here - too much. Current events impact - why should anyone wish to conduct their business through a personal account - unless they are just chancers - and get the support of the left led CMA - which states that those applying for these temp loans dont have to open a business account to get the money.
Lloyds told off. When is a business not a business not a business - when it is a con.

I understand that the rest of the world does its own thing - but do we have to follow.
What if measles gets around - test everyone ?- but with what - or just ask kids to be vaccinated - for there is a vaccine against the disease.
IMHO this talk about a vaccine is just spliff talk. lucy in the sky with diamonds. The profs have created so much fear - all will die - you have to save yourself!
This is not TB not Polio Not MMR type - specific - bit like non specific urethritis
an antibiotic is prescribed but no vaccine.
I guess the hole just gets bigger the more lies are told.
Nobody had a bloody clue and still dont.
The flu jab is not a cure - just a boost to ppls poor immune systems.
Sorry B Liar/brown -u put ppl with mental incapacity back into mainstream - you thought it would help them - just like diesel cars - big tick ups.
Conclusion - MPs have no relevant grasp of anything - few even had a JOB
Hamlet something is not working and the Police/Heddlu are joyous - they are now making the fines - why cos their pension fund is suffering - they all leave early

Mr Candour10 Sep 2020 9:19PMThis is a wonderful article and I concur on all points.However nothing on earth will stop the EU forever resenting us for leaving. Brussels will call off their lawyers, yes, but it won't be for any constructive or positive reason, and certainly not because they have learnt to respect.No. It will be because once again they're going to lose, and want to avoid getting even.more egg on their face on the global stage.

Years will be spent taking the British Government to court for breaking international law. The UK will be treated like a pariah state. Lorries will be held up at Calais, and holiday-makers will face long queues at airports in Malaga and Corfu. With final negotiations over a trade deal with the European Union just a whisker away from finally, and irreparably, breaking down, officials in Brussels seem intent on making the price Britain has to pay for that as high as possible.But hold on. In truth, that doesn't make much sense. Leaving without a free trade agreement can work perfectly well for the British, but it could work for the EU as well.Why? Because, if the people and member states of Europe cared to think about it, a UK that diverges from EU regulations would provide a check on Brussels' mania for rule-making; because an offshore hub can feed investment into the rest of the continent; and because we could be better off, and so will import even more of their stuff....

Commenting on these latest findings, Danny Altmann, professor of immunology at Imperial College London, said: "Studies like this are a vital part of the 'work-in-progress' to make sense of who has immunity and how long for…

"Once again, evidence shows that the half-life of these antibodies in the blood is not particularly sustained.”

This is funny.

"UK attorney general Suella Braverman has attempted to justify giving ministers powers to determine what goods traded between Northern Ireland and Great Britain require exit checks, and to decide when government subsidies need to be notified to the EU in case they breach Brussels regulation.

Braverman admitted these powers would be “incompatible with the withdrawal agreement” if exercised as she took the rare step of publishing her legal advice to the government.

It states that the parliament is sovereign and so can pass laws which breach the UK’s obligations under international treaties, like the WA.

Braverman said this was similar to how Canada, Australia and New Zealand operate, with international treaty obligations only becoming binding when passed in UK law decided by “parliament and parliament alone”.

In an ironic twist, Braverman argued that principle was “recently approved unanimously by the Supreme Court” in the 2017 (BIG MOUTH) Miller case, in which judges found that only MPs – not the government – could trigger Article 50 to begin the UK’s departure from the EU, to the anger of then-prime minister May (Oooh, she must have been so angry)."
