We seem to have missed this 'global warming' here in England, I note.

If there was any reason for voting LD, it is contained in these few paragraphs.

Nick Clegg has vetoed Theresa May's rewritten 'web snooper's charter', killing off the home secretary's last remaining hopes of getting any communications data legislation in the Queen's speech.

The Liberal Democrat leader told David Cameron and Theresa May on Wednesday that he could not support the home secretary's latest proposals to monitor internet and social media use because they were unworkable and disproportionate.

The decision provoked delight within his party and among privacy campaigners: "This is truly an immense moment for any liberal, and every Liberal Democrat," said Julian Huppert, the party's backbench home affairs spokesman.

"These plans were based on scant evidence, scaremongering and a disregard for our personal lives; treating everyone as a suspect and our online activity as 'fair game'," he said.

GBP is up 1.2% against the USD so far today!

add:


That reflects the fact that QE will be replaced by funding for lending in the UK. Well some house buyers make be offered loans but I doubt small engineering companies will.

"The Bank of Japan, holder of the second-biggest reserves, said April 4 it will more than double investments in equity exchange-traded funds to 3.5 trillion yen ($35.2 billion) by 2014."
"In Asia, the BOJ announced plans to put more of its $1.2 trillion of reserves into exchange-traded funds this month as it doubled its stimulus program to help reflate the economy."
"Some central banks, including the Fed in Washington and the Bank of England in London, have no mandate to buy stocks directly. The Fed has $42.6 billion in reserves and the Bank of England controls $65.1 billion, data compiled by Bloomberg show."

Fine & dandy, Leeds.

I think exposing myself to the climate change thread might have irked me more than I'd thought.

"Sod the world, what about my leccy bill?" seems to cover it.

i found that photo of your genitals most unwelcome on the warming thread. lol

maxk - have you noted the way pensions were treated in Ireland? That is scary.

[maxk] 25/4/2013 11:32

It's just organised crime at work Speedy.

People will be encouraged/forced into joining these pension schemes without any clear view as to what will happen to the money, or indeed how much they will actually be worth after the "city gents" have grazed on the proceeds.

Like endowments, they wont be worth a toss but for the few.

But the committee warned that the majority of these people would be placed in schemes where they bore all of the investment risk – and many would be ill-equipped to deal with the "complex and confusing world of pension saving".

Sounds like a plan ... but how to make pensions complex and confusing?

It is one of the few accountability free jobs where people can earn a fortune ,with other peoples money, for guessing.

I've always maintained that brokers and pundits should always have to display a performance history every time they dispense their views.

That would very quickly whittle down the market and alos open a lot of peoples eyes.

"The statistics office said that snowfall and cold weather during the first quarter appear to have had a "limited impact" on GDP. "The strongest evidence was that it reduced retail output in January and March 2013, but boosted demand for electricity and gas," it said. "

Elswhere, the UK credit accelerator showed a 2012Q4 (latest ons figures) boost to GDP ...

Towards the end off last year when Apple's share price was over $700 analysts were saying that it would reach $1100 within a matter of months,also when gold was over $1700 analysts were saying it would soon reach $2500.

Just goes to show how good analysts are at their job.

Add: IR Apart from Lewandowski there is at least 2 other very good Poles in the Borussia team.

The other comment I picked this morning is that UK Gilt yields are flat as against US Treasuries, a situation which is unlikely to change unless there is some real disaster in the UK.

No wonder the market is sulking. There is no way QE will be increased. Sterling is flying.
