robowt, you do realise that min rely's on those sort of posts.

MM..I can call Minerve anything I like without a response. He has filtered me, because he cannot face his demons.

Minerve won't face that he is mentally ill, I tried to get him to seek help by recommending a clinic. I then discovered that he is already in a secure unit and receives treatment on a daily basis.

I feel very sorry for him, being addicted to the internet while suffering from other mental illness cannot be good.

"The really big laugh is that "Defeat" is just about anathema to a confirmed Pacifist."

The pen is mightier than the sword. ;)

“I think there’s no doubt that what the Prime Minister is offering is better than what Corbyn is demanding, which simply begs the question, if they like it, why don’t they vote for it?”

Mrs Leadsom said there was “no chance” Mrs May would adopt Mr Corbyn’s “view of the world”, adding: “The Prime Minister has been absolutely clear we’re leaving the EU, we’re leaving the customs union, we’re leaving the single market.”

Shocking how a long-serving politician knows so little about economics.

The world economic slowdown

By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: FEBRUARY 12, 2019

The Central Banks of the USA, Euro area, UK and China have all been slowing the economies they regulate. The US economy has done the best, as the Fed has allowed substantial credit growth in the private sector to offset some of the impact of rate rises and the reduction of Quantitative easing money and repayment of bonds. As a result the US economy which started to grow at more than 3% may manage more than 2% this year. The impact of the tax cuts and fiscal stimulus administered by the government is helping.

The Bank of England has been the toughest, cutting money growth considerably, reining in car loans and consumer credit, putting through two rate rises and ceasing all Quantitative Easing. The European Central Bank has been the softest, continuing with large amounts of money creation and bond buying up to the end of last year, and flagging no rate rises for the foreseeable future. Their current interest rate of 0% is lenient.

Despite this the Euro area economy is slowing the most. Italy is in recession, reporting reductions in output in both the third and fourth quarters last year. Germany had a down quarter in the autumn and may have had another down quarter to December 31. Greek and Cypriot output remains miles below the 2007 levels, with Italian GDP also still lower than pre crisis in real terms. French growth is slowing markedly and the whole Eurozone is back in stagnation. The UK is managing slower growth, which shows underlying strength given the squeeze being administered by both the Bank and the Treasury.

China has seen a small slowdown in growth on the official figures, with reports of a sharper slowdown for manufacturing and imports. Chinese money policy has also been more restrictive than in the past, with the authorities now signalling they wish to relax a bit to avoid more damage to growth.

It is difficult to see what the Eurozone can and will do to lift things. It is a poor background for the traditional parties fighting the European elections in May, but it is the result of the disciplines of the Eurozone. All the time the Germans and the other richer surplus countries decline to send more grants and cash to the poorer parts, it reinforces the need to squeeze budgets to keep finances in control. This in turn leads to slower or no growth, which in turn means less tax revenue and a bigger budget squeeze.

The Euro, just like the Exchange Rate Mechanism it replaced, is a recession machine for the weaker economies. That is why the Italian government tried to get a different budget, and one of t

Nigel Farage:

Goodness me, I feel like a europhile compared to Corbyn!

Corbyn may be doing badly in the polls in terms of his own popularity, but in terms of preventing a second referendum from happening, have to say I think he’s doing really, rather, a good job.

Footage has emerged of Jeremy Corbyn calling for the “defeat” of the European Union and other international organisations.
