As much as I would like to plough more funds into UK equities I'm just not getting the returns :(. So I've just put this years isa allocation into a global fund. Come April I'm considering getting out of UK equities (with the possible exception of BT) and ploughing it into a US fund.

Cant agree with this conspiracy malarky. Dont think politicians are clever enough - certainly not our current crop - worst in my lifetime. Then again I've got a sneaking susoicion the Yanks really did land on the moon.

Just heard super idiot Shapps say its no longer about the number of case but the variants. FFS where is this going?

Brexiters will be please to hear I bought two UK built appliances yesterday and I am very happy with them. A new Dualit toaster and kettle. Both are actually designed so most parts are replaceable which I'm impressed with. I hate throwing stuff away which can be fixed but most modern designs almost make fixing impossible.

Right, now for a coffee and toast using them.

diku
I totally agree with your sentiment. Unfortunately imo this is the most undemocratic process that I can remember witnessing in my lifetime. They havent listened (as far as I am aware)tothe expert views. Yes the views of the epedemiologists. But not the industrialists, the self employed, the arts etc. They have been totally deaf. The Opposition is missing in inaction. The government are making daft laws at will.
As far as I can see there has been no discussion of our future. Just an attempt to keep us from moving around. If variants keep arriving as flu does and it appears they will what do they plan for the next 10years? People are more expert at living their lives and assessing their risks that modern controlling governments want to allow us.
And this is a Conservative Govt ( supposedly) ffs

Our 12 week wait between jabs is going to allow many more virus mutations to develop.

Vaccine war ERUPTS: Brussels chief threatens UK with export ban - 'Still on the table'


GERMAN MEP Manfred Weber has threatened the UK with yet another export ban on vaccine doses from the EU, moments after Ursula von der Leyen renewed her apology for triggering Article 16 of the Brexit protocol.


The European Commission President told MEPs this morning that she "deeply regrets" making the mistake of triggering Article 16 of the Brexit deal last month. Mrs von der Leyen threatened the UK with an export ban of vaccine doses from the EU to Northern Ireland, jeopardising the fragile peace on the island of Ireland. The Commission chief renewed her apologies for the huge mistake made.


But moments after she apologised, Mr Weber demanded the ban is still on the table should the UK refuse to send over to the EU doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

He said: "We support cooperation with other states but without being naive as Europeans.

"An export ban on European-produced vaccines must remain on the table in our view.

"If the United Kingdom is not willing to deliver doses to Europe, why should we deliver doses to the United Kingdom?"

Mrs von der Leyen acknowledged that the European Union was not where it wanted to be in the fight against the coronavirus.

She said: "We were late with the approval.

"We were too optimistic on mass production.

"And perhaps we were also too certain that the orders would actually be delivered on time."

Think it might be very easy to say this that and the other on ADVFN but if you are in that job under the circumstances one has to listen to so called expert views from all angles...then the mind starts to boggle...
