Multi millionaire commoners!

jordaggy - disagree with you entirely. You would also ban any poster who ever had anything but positive on any share in your portfolio? You don't take alternative views well?

and then we really would be finished

Ladeside - that is how I see it too. Probably why not a peep from either China or Russia. Sense may still prevail.

Alp dear chap - Carney should keep his big gob shut, yes things could be difficult without a great Boris deal, we all know that, we don't need Carney uttering a single comment about it...he needs to talk positive or keep his trap shut. I suspect his loyalties and his personnel wealth lie elsewhere. I had a dream a few years back where all decision making, be it government, financial, political or whatever was all AI decided - no human influencers with vested interests...just quantum level AI.

GNR, There's no doubt at all that it was all a setup job in order that both nations could save face.

It appears that Trump jumped in with both feet (as usual) and didn't appreciate the can of worms that would be opened by taking out Soleimani, as such, a compromise was reached where the Iranians were given a "free shot" as it were in order to appease their people and save face publicly. Of course this was all carefully choreographed to ensure that nobody was killed or seriously injured.

Trump is all smoke and mirrors as we saw time and time again during his very public spat with North Korea and 99% of his bluster is aimed at the gullible and ignorant within his own electorate, unfortunately there's very few who seem to see this.........

"Whats actually happened is that that the UK has been forced into a programme of austerity in order to comply with Scotlands beloved EU requirements of a debt to GDP of 3.5%"

What austerity?

Annual Budget deficit £30bn+

ie in the red.


National Debt £2 trillion odd, up from around £850bn odd in 2010

ie massively in the red.


How has there been any austerity when there's been a massive debt splurge?
And the annual budget is still in the red.....

What is profligacy then?

*deficit/ GDP ratio.

Min., it turns out they did and have defied HM's clear instructions. Utterly self indulgent and disgraceful behaviour.

Too many people are more concerned about what others are doing rather than focus on themselves. Soaps, reality shows etc etc.

(even the focus by many posters on what other EU countries are doing rather than the UK) Lol

Talk of lower rates this morning has hit GBP more than the banks.

Stay in the real world jordaggy - until the future trade arrangements are clear it remains totally foggy.

It is now years ago since I suggested how to take advantage of Lloyds sideways movements. Results should show further improvement but then comes a likely economic downturn. Care needed.

Fact Carney is on the way out and one of the most important things he says is that
"The City should not seek regulatory alignment with the EU" tells you ALL you need to know imo.

[jordaggy] 09/1/2020 11:04

Carney's big gob hasn't helped. He should be talking up the UK and how investable it is...'the UK is open for business' mantra!

If this Australian fireman has actually been charged, how come he's unnamed? That doesn't sound like the justice system we know.
