we are getting closer to an authoritarian style regime smarty and bypassing parliament by TM . Johnson etc etc seem to be the the norm for this Governmment who are not too keen on democracy . Of course some brextremits lap it up and even admire that fine upstanding individual , Putin .

Now that the dust has settled a little - let's see what the weekend MSM brings - just imagine, for a second, what Mrs Hopeless (three kids, I believe) and Mr Colangelo (also three kids, I believe) must be thinking.... I'll leave it at that.

Matter closed. Doubt it. Wishful thinking again.

David Jordorson24 Jun 2021 7:11PMThe US has balanced its budget once in 60 years, under Clinton. Compare and contrast with Norway, which has one of the world's largest sovereign wealth funds. Surprised but pleased to see the UK the second-least indebted G7 after Germany. The bar chart flatters Greece (as does inclusion in this company) since Japan's debt is almost entirely held internally, while Greece's debt is the opposite. No doubt Greece will favour EU money, as it will not be one of the prime contributors of repayment.11LikeReplySimon Selby24 Jun 2021 10:23PMI agree. Do you know how much of UK debt is internal in this sense?I've seen figures here and there, but I don't have a good sense of it.LikeReplyIain Harris24 Jun 2021 6:44PMIt's only a question of time before interest rates riseNo government can control the markets as Norman Lamont discovered .At this point all bets are now off in my view such is the reckless indebtedness both by private and government borrowers.....

I have been a customer of this back for over 50 years and now going to leave they treat their best customers with contempt It's now a rotten run bank of greed of directors

Mate, anywhere with a canal is called little venice.

Ryanair used to fly into Treviso, stay there and catch train into Venice, walk out the entrance and the grand canal is right in front of you. OK for a day trip, but much nicer in Treviso, hardly any tourists but just as much to see, they call it the little Venice. Then you have the Dolomites only a few hours drive away.

Lacks moral authority to do anything else. Public morals out the window to boot.

The EU summit has been difficult, for sure. We all know the reasons, including what must be the revulsion expressed by the Baltic members to the idea of a summit with Putin. I would have thought that the idiotic pipeline is as far as they needed to go.

And Rutte threatens that Hungary will be “brought to its knees”? Such harmony.

But this is a drop in the ocean to what may be about to come. Post pandemic, a weak Europe (China and the US are now already back at pre-COVID GDP) will need plenty of continuing stimulus, and yet the €750bn package agreed (welcome, although that was also a bitter affair getting that agreed) is largely unspent. They will need more, but most likely the Germans will return to their tight purse strings bias (as Laschet has strongly indicated). If this is the case, yet more rancour. Furthermore, the US will increasingly dominate in the tech sector while Europe is almost nowhere. It is important that a newly freed U.K. can make some further progress there, but the signs appear to be OK. Removing red tape is essential, and that appears to be generally the direction the current government is heading in.

One thing that will cause little rancour is the introduction of CRD IV. Yet more unargued bureaucracy in the EU financial sector. It seems that the U.K. is no longer interested in full alignment and that will cause some lost business in the short term. But in the long term, the City will remain the destination of choice in this time zone for financial products, especially with the inventiveness of the City allowed to benefit from relative freedom and spoil Europe’s party even before most of the guests turn up.

The Buffoon just reaffirmed his support for Hopeless and accepted the latter's apology.

Two of a kind, unfortunately.

NHS
“These Are The Nationalities Supporting Britain's NHS The Most”
Looking at the whole picture, 13.8 percent of all staff for which the nationality is known are non-UK nationals, representing around 170,000 of the 1.28 million strong workforce. People from the EU play an important role, with 9.1 percent of doctors and 6.0 percent of nurses coming from a country in the Union.

India 25,809
Philippines 22,043
Ireland 13,697
Poland 9,904
Nigeria 8,241
Portugal 7,469

You can't make an informed opinion until you have been on several. There are cruises and there are cruises...

Truth is you can't afford them.

I would recommend the boat trip along the canals from the seaside resort of Lido de Jesolo to Venezia. It drops you within walking distance of the Piazza San Marco.
