You really are gullible when it fits your agenda.

Build us out of recession?By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JUNE 29, 2020Yesterday we read of the forthcoming Prime Ministerial speech about the need to build new hospitals, transport systems and homes to help lift us out of the deep Covid 19 created recession we are living through. Investing in the future is a good idea. Better transport and some improvements to the health and schools estate are helpful.There are many other things that are needed to get us out of the deep pandemic hole we and the rest of the world are in. The main  drivers of our future success and prosperity will come from the private sector, expanding the goods and services we make and supply at home, and in turn paying more tax to support better public services.I have drawn attention to the way health activity actually fell sharply over the lock down, despite the huge efforts some NHS staff put into fighting the virus, which we all admire. The large reduction in  other NHS work to keep the hospitals clear for Covid 19 cases meant a big overall fall, which we now need to recover. We also need to get all the state schools back to work, either in classrooms or remotely, to regain that lost activity as well.There is huge scope in  the private sector to do more and to invest more. We need substantial investment in additional energy capacity, to remove our growing dependence on imports . There is the opportunity under our new independent trade policy from January to recapture much of the market share in temperate foods that we lost during our CAP years. We can aim to replace many of our timber imports,  as the  UK has good growing conditions for softwoods compared to our Canadian and Scandinavian suppliers.  The UK has the liveliest and most promising tec sector in Europe, which needs more government contracts and full fast broadband rollout to assist it. The UK pharmaceutical industry has shown some of its strengths over the disease, and can achieve more.Government can help by being an informed buyer, by setting a policy framework which advantages instead of disadvantaging UK based activity, by buying more UK sourced goods and services and by leading a movement to rely more on local output.

The UK's cows have come home Alp.

The €U's are still gathering at the gate and moo-ing .. they'll have to let them in sooner or later. Then watch the fun.

[minerve 2] 28/6/2020 23:12

It isn’t going to end well that is for sure.

[alphorn] 28/6/2020 23:09

AZ - my negative view on the UK government progress (lack of) should be clear to anyone who has the ability to read. The dictionary is short of words that can adequately describe the mess.

Looking forwards sterling may be as low now as it will get. Never be too greedy and always a time to cash out.

However, seeing the news tonight that Britain's chief Brexit negotiator David Frost has so much free time on his hands that he will take over as National Security Advisor following Sedwill's departure would question my optimism.

'NEVER FELT BETTER' Boris Johnson says he’s as ‘fit as a butcher’s dog’ following near-death Covid-19 scare


BORIS Johnson says he is as “fit as a butcher’s dog” thanks to his workout regime following his Covid-19 scare.

The PM, 56, has been jogging at 6.30am every day with dog Dilyn as well as doing press-ups - and says he is even up at night changing nappies.
