Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon, through their angry, persecuted, complaining, blame-driven, negative culture have ripped Scotland apart.

Ah another EU tax grab I see, barely a week into the new year....

Efforts are again underway for an EU-wide tax on plastic waste. Officials and diplomats have told the FT that members are ready to agree to duties on non-recyclable plastic, though tough negotiations still lie ahead.

The proceeds would go directly into the common budget, rather than the government that collected the tax

Read that again.
"The proceeds would go directly into the common budget, rather than the government that collected the tax"

This is but the start of a common Pan EU taxation policy.

Sooner we are completely out of EU the better.

Goldman U-turns on U.S. economic forecast

It was only months ago that most on Wall Street worried that a recession was around the corner, but those fears are fading fast. "Overall, the changes underlying the Great Moderation appear intact, and we see the economy as structurally less recession-prone today," Goldman economists Jan Hatzius and David Mericle wrote. "While new risks could emerge, none of the main sources of recent recessions - oil shocks, inflationary overheating, and financial imbalances - seem too concerning for now. As a result, the prospects for a soft landing look better than widely thought."

The monarch is an impotent old cow who is past her sell by date.

Here's another interesting angle.

China - over indebted, and peddling fake economic stats.

Credit card repayments exceed borrowing for first time since 2013 - business live
The latest consumer credit data released by the Bank of England signalled a further slowdown in borrowing


Reason for drop today.

Pierre

Perhaps it might help if you appreciate that your son, and his children if he has any, have more skin in the climate debate than you have. Your decision, right or wrong, will have little affect upon you for the the rest of your life. It could have major consequences on your grandchildren.

Having little skin in the game means you are inherently more able to be objective and less emotional in such arguments. That is not his fault and doesn't lessen his argument.

I would suggest that you are also acting like a teenager when you are quite eager to pigeon hole his belief into the "leftie" box all because it doesn't reconcile with yours.

Paranormal?

We are in a period of exceedingly low unemployment and low inflation and interest rates but it does not seem to be 'the good times'.

There is something troubling in the current environment that should, in theory, not be there? (If that makes any sense).

[alphorn] 03/1/2020 11:48

PO - I am sure that you are right. We are probably in quite an unstable period as well with no clear future which does not help; particularly younger generations.

My thoughts entirely MNT, it's quite obvious the BBC are anti business by their portrayal of Scrouge, they didn't show a single bean bag or meditation area for Cratchett to use whilst at work, outrageous bias. If it were upto the BBC we wouldn't have any business at all we'd all be authors or panto luvvies.

[alphorn] 03/1/2020 11:41

stoned - because very few believe what they cut & paste; little original thought. More hot air than a barrage balloon.

Minny, you have a particularly distasteful obsession with the death of others. The relationship with my son is fine and open - he's welcome to his view, and he knows my views on his unintelligent manner of defending them these days. As a family, we've always enjoyed lively arguments - rules are everyone shuts up when someone is speaking. There's never been shouting or anything lingering afterwards, everyone was always encouraged to form their own opinion on everything.
