That's because you are failing to spot that the Emperor's backside is on full show regarding climate change. I can't help you there really, until you understand that there is no link between fossil fuel use and the temperature, you just won't get it.
Dead right regarding Sunak, I would never vote for him anyway after what he did to us self employed limited company directors in the pandemic. Disgraceful.
Tories are going to get a good hiding and it's frankly needed so that they can regroup and become Conservative once more. Sadly for us that means another six years minimum of mounting economic misery
Fort . Brexit had absolutely nothing to do with the EU workforce going home. 6 million chose to stay after 2016 . The numbers leaving then was practically zero. Many Eu workers left because of covid to be with their families; many never returned .
For proof of this look at the transport sector . No problem after Brexit ; major workforce problems after covid...which incidentally led to higher wages for our drivers.
Needless to say this god forsaken government has gone back to mass immigration, low wage policies . Along with high taxation (corporation tax a prime example) they have betrayed everything that Brexit voters wanted
Brexit is not the problem . The pro EU government establishment is the problem
I disagree on quite a few of your posts, especially climate ones, but a lot of today’s posts I cant argue with…………
Bang on point!
The Tories have screwed up massively and sunak has got his head so far up his own a*se he is oblivious to everything that is going on…..let’s get another photo shoot with his upmarket sliders………joker
Sell in May and go away, every one of the last five years the price has dropped all summer.
Hopefully it's just heading back to where it was ready for the September action
Eloro. Maybe padmasters right.
Maybe my posts have caused the sp collapse.
Because today I've mentioned what I think to be good news, and bugger me, sp up 5%.
Eloro. No mate. No figures. Just lots of muckers in dgr and solg. They've all been as peed of as me.
Mather not thought highly of in this part of the wood.
But there seems to be a chink of optimism appearing.
Just hope it's not a copperpot story.
But something seems afoot
If Brexit were the reason, then Europe would be fling. Look at the state of it, in particular its "powerhouse" Germany in recession and deep trouble. It is the lack of willingness to take advantage of Brexit that is holding us back.
We have an unskilled workforce already, it is sat on its backside claiming handouts. Reform benefits and they will become our cheap labour.
Banks aren't passing savings rates on for the same reason that interest rate rises aren't working yet. In previous eras of inflation most mortgages were tied to the bank rate, nowadays the vast majority are on fixes and as such are not affected.
If they're lending out at 2% they can't pay at 5%, it's basic Maths.
The world is turning against China, that is clear to see. Apple don't want to declare war on us, China do. They've been caught already collecting our data so it is a matter of national security to sanction a rogue nation.
By the way their housing market is collapsing, as is their main market (down 7% this month) as investors pull out their cash. China is f-----d, which handily for us is leading to a resurgence in gold price
If China is so wonderful Colonel, have you thought about maybe going there to live?
Brexit is the main reason for poor shape of UK economy. The negatives of Brexit were played down by Boris and co. I'm all for the UK dictating it's own policies and two fingers up to the euro elite... Germany/France. But the combination of losing a major workforce back to Europe combined with over 50's hanging their boots up post covid and voila... you have depleted workforce which in turn = wage inflation which intern spikes inflation. Had covid never happened... we would have been able to measure the damage of Brexit far more easily. Covid came at a time which was ideal for the Gov and they made the most of it as they knew it would make many Tory supporting businesses very rich through dodgy contract awards... the list goes on. Remember the main beneficiaries of inflation are the banks... these are the same banks that the UK tax payer bailed out 15 years ago. Some are still state owned. Yet are they delivering appropriate savings rates for savers? No. Are they delivering mortgage rates closer to BoE rate? No. Same old game. I think the Chinese summed up the property market issue recently simply saying... property is for 'living in' not for 'speculating on'. And that's the trouble with the west and capitalism. Everything is just a casino opportunity to bet on something. Chinese are constantly getting hammered in press but the world is realising that they are not the bad guy at all. It's the US and West are are serving their very own elite. It's pretty ugly to watch. For instance... it's ok for apple to basically have everyones data... but not ok for Huawei? Who decides these things?? The US wants to flog the UK bleached chicken and take over our health system. The chinese don't.
Bozi, we could of course have our own energy security and create hundreds of thousands of jobs into the bargain by fracking. That's what led the US resurgence in its economy.
But we've got too many self righteous nutters holding us back. We're going to have to learn the hard way thanks to them.
Exactly our predicament, we are left with a choice between two cheeks of the same socialist backside. It's clear there is no democracy, the media and the WEF have control of parliament. That much was obvious when Truss cut taxes and was instantly ejected.
The media pinned the drop in the pound versus dollar on her and Kwarteng as an excuse to move her. But you can look on XE dot com at any other major currency versus dollar on 22nd September. They all crashed identically, it was the day after the Fed raised the base rate 0.75%
In other words nothing at all to do with Truss but a great chance to finger her (so to speak)
Bozi, you're right about the constant referencing to how great we are. Every time I hear some dim politician utter such nonsense, my toes curl backwards. The idea of our exceptionalism is just utter nonsense and if our political class dropped the whole myth they might learn that other countries do things far better than we do - health care being the prime example.
BTW NAL, what should we make of the fact that the main poster who claimed to have a contact hasn't corroborated your rumour? Perhaps their contact isn't as connected as we were left to deduce!!
Can I ask if not 60p, what SP did your grass mentioned?
That's a different sort of problem though Add. As Brits, we're quick to proclaim how great we are and how fantastic our country is and how fabulous our methods are, but when the turd hits the fan at home we're quick to point everywhere else.
Cameron may have inherited an economy that was faltering following the 2008 recession and austerity was probably one sensible spoke in what needed to be a recovery wheel. As it was, we relied too heavily on it and we suffered as key services were hit. The slowdown began.
No qualms with your point on the pandemic response. Completely agree. Ridiculous wastage.
In terms of Ukraine, we have felt the force as much as any because of a lack of preparedness with our own energy solutions. We've been over reliant on buying in from outside and when that supply gets constrained (because nobody really wants to do business with the supplier any more) we get left in a pickle.
Don't disagree at all with your summary.
What did you label the folks who claimed to have inside contacts NAL? Fantasists! So, have you joined that group now?
I do hope that you are right though. That Perez guy is getting on my nerves. The sooner we are out of Ecuador, the better.
Not remurs and contery. I'm not that thick. Should read
Rumours and contrary
Adikt. Western australia lives and breaths mining. I don't know a family where someone isn't a fifo worker. The place is awash with rumours.
All I can say is, this seems the real deal.
No contacts in solg unlike some, but friends who I think believe it or wouldn't tell me. But must emphasise just strong remours. Don't know anyone working in equador. But know many fmg workers. And contery to the wishfull thinking on here. They tell me there pulling out of Ecuador.
Add, vote "none of the above". Did you ever watch Brewsters Millions?
Bozi, you seem to be ignoring a few major contributors to our current malaise:
1) Cameron inherited a basket case economy.
2) The pandemic and our utterly insane over-reaction to it.
3) Ukraine.
Having said that, the Tories are utterly useless, but so too are the Labour Party - the Liberals are simply beyond the pale. For me, this represents a major conundrum as, for the first time in my life, I have absolutely no idea who I'll vote for at the next election.
...and there lies the issue.
What you're saying is that anyone who isn't Thatcher or of that ilk is a socialist, which is the very same concept that you were criticising thr left for last night.
The undeniable facts are:
1. The party wearing blue have been at the wheel in the UK since 2010.
2. In that time they have elected 3 PMs and undemocratically promoted 2 more
3. The one that was most like Thatcher was outstayed by a lettuce
Whatever our views, much of what has happened in that time leaves us where we are today.
Ahh well back to bed it is then
The undercut the UK because they understand that lowering taxes attracts business. The UK could do this tomorrow but we have got socialists at the wheel who cannot grasp this basic fact.
Ecuador, if it had a conservative leader, could do the same. Lower taxes, promote mining and attract the big boys. Is it better to have 15% tax from 5 large mines or 25% from 1?
As recently as 2008, Ireland along with the other PIIGS were considered the basket case of Europe.
We start the day with shock and awww!
(Awww, no news)
Add, the same thought had occurred to me also given that I recently posted my praise of NAL for lampooning those with inside contacts! Oh the irony 🙄
Completely get that.
In Ireland's case though you have to factor in their advantages, bargaining power and their economic position. They know they can undercut the UK and snare a significant portion of it's business and they do it pretty well. It has done in my industry for years and there won't be a change any time soon.
Agree with some of your other points and disagree with others. Don't want to turn this into a longer political debate especially with some of the view that SOLG news of some sort is about to drop.
Oh, the irony!
Nal, ever since you arrived on this site you've spent your time berating people for posting stuff about rumoured takeovers etc, and here you are doing the exact same thing!
Anyway, let's hope you're right.
