Sumption is always sniping at Boris. Whatever Boris does it's a case of damned if he does, damned if he doesn't...a no win situation.

[maxk] 24/11/2020 20:32

Sumption was making comment on the arbitrary "laws" now being announced from on high, without due process...ie, by fiat.


He is quite correct about the "laws", just as you are about Stoomer.

Yes if you followed it...

[chiefbrody] 24/11/2020 20:19

Did the RSI say it was greatly oversold too?

[poikka] 24/11/2020 20:19

What an absolute dope, Sumption is. He may well be a Lord, but that doesn't mean he's incapable of making ridiculous and offensive comments in the knowledge that he's not responsible for dealing with the pandemic - rather like Starmer.

Family's will mix at Christmas whatever the government say, that's why they are brining in this deal.
Personally I don't give a stuff about Christmas, Humbug.

RSI grossly overbought here...

I am no communist, that is a stupid suggestion.
Just hearing how Elon Musk has become $1bn richer in the last 11 months.
It is about optimum taxation and redistribution.

Taxation should be fair, no loopholes, yet low enough to ensure that incentives are not killed off.

Everyone who earn a lot should be made to pay at least 20% of their income in tax.

No charitable trusts, no setting up a private company with a single employee as some highly paid footballers do.
Stop the fiddles, close the loopholes.
Make them pay some tax.

I wonder if Sunak will restrict tax free ISA's.
Some have £1m tax free funds.
Gains had become too generous.

...941mr elbee not need to worry.. I think their mind is on a buy back (again) around 52p and 54p to give cash to their friends as always they do.

Sorry there are 20 mil who need take stock.

I agree that economics is an interesting subject (I did a degree in it a long time ago) but the anybody/somebody comment is from Gilbert and Sullivan (the Gondoliers)

“Boris Johnson knows that restrictions over Christmas would be deeply unpopular, widely ignored and catastrophic for the retail and hospitality industries,” Sumption asserted.

“So he will soon announce their temporary suspension, behaving as if our lives belonged to the state and Christmas was an act of indulgence on his part,” the judge added.

How many Chinese or Russians or better still North Koreans have read John Keynes especially from copies borrowed from the library. I presume you admire these states

People that own shares and property get richer.
Asset price inflation.

This has to be balanced out by the poor becoming poorer to keep inflation in check.

'If everyone is somebody then no-one is anybody'.
The cake does not get bigger, we lucky few take a bigger slice, leaves less for the rest.

Economics is an interesting subject.

I bet neither of you have read any Marx at all...
Perhaps first read before opening month - it might be relevant to Lloyds Group:

Trump just gave a press conference about Dow hitting 30k...yes 30k 30k 30k...nothing else...

[qs99] 24/11/2020 17:35

the misplaced trust so many put in our political class

Mr Saxty, name one human being in the whole British Isles who places any trust at all in our political class!
