Massive respect for changing career gate. I stayed as a quant and have to be honest didn't enjoy it mostly.

Trav but put on turbo boosters with nut zero, we can't even make steel anymore. Good luck in ww3 with leccy tanks and no manufacturing base if it ever comes to it.

Trav what is your point? In 2016 I thought David Cameron was marvellous now I realise he was just a blairite with a blue rosette. Believe it or not ppls opinions change. Hard to believe I know.

Well an economic model that off shores all high value added business due to nut zero and imports low skilled workers to plug the gap is only producing high taxes, inflation and no growth. No surprise! Time we got fracking, mining for coal and drilling in the north sea again.

Guns you seems to get it. The EU is a permanent commie ramp on Europe. I think it's too late for the likes of France, Germany etc. Probably Britain now too, their idiotic anti growth policies have turned the continent in to a basket case.

Fair point gate. On Ukraine it takes time to end a war. The progress is there on that. Let's see where things stand in September on tariffs and the war.

Just waiting for the sludge hardup, 67 to accuse skier and I of being the same person because we agree.

You get it skier, who is in China's pocket the person seeking to reset trading relation, IE trump or the ppl sending industry and jobs there through net zero, IE the EU. Sadly most ppl have been propagandised that the eu isn't a commie ramp.

As for the idiotic cartoon in the times the former paper which disgraced itself over Nordstream. Who is more likely to stop a Chinese takeover the lbgt/net zero EU with their queer armies or Donald trump/USA. Rhetorical question.

Disagree gate plus the market volatility isn't that great. He has a right to equalise tariffs but what he's seeking is free trade. Trump understands is the EU can't be negotiated with, they are a bad faith actor who removes tariffs where they have a comparative advantage and builds tariffs/non tariff barriers where they don't. Our entire EU membership was a farce where insurance and banking were frozen out of the single market by french and Germans precisely because we had a comparative advantage. 6 months volatility is well worth the price of smashing these Eurocrats.

But I agree transparency in pricing is preferable.

Tbf skier I think that example is one of the more egregious ones, whereas on average payments are not quite on that scale. I bought a new car and I'm pretty sure the guy that sold it was paid probably 500-1000 quid.

Buyer beware.

He won't run again taver no chance, he will say it or rather get ppl near him to so Dems waste time and money on lawyers to "stop him", he can then do other things whilst they are shouting about this red herring like berks.

Skier absolutely trump is equalising tariffs mostly and let's not forget the giant non tariffs barriers Eurocrats are PhD level at erecting there is a colossal upside for global trade here that if trump wins will out turbo chargers under the global economy. I know that's hard to understand for latte swillers in Islington but never mind.

Lee I don't there are any outlet apologists. I've just been pointing at the battlefield situation and pointing out this isn't a winnable war for Ukrainians. You either agree a peace now or carry on fighting and get a worse one in the future, plus more dead. I'd also say I don't care about the borders of Ukraine anymore than the borders of Sudan. We have a NATO alliance and those are the borders we should consider red lines.

Skier I think a giant rally is coming too. If tariffs are rebalanced to the lower us levels then the potential upside for the entire globe is absolutely huge.

France the powers that be have banned le Pen from standing, this seems to be the new go to model following the legal coup in Romania. A reminder that the head of the ECB was convicted of stealing £400m and handing it to her pal Tapie from the french treasury. Still she is the head of the ECB. So with these double standards we are now well and truly past the point where western institutions can be considered in any way democratic.

True but are ppl in Russia being invaded by rapists and drug dealers and being taxed to pay for it?

Troajan our media is almost as controlled but not quite as bad. Look at the hysteria over COVID, climate and the notion Russia would "collapse in 2 weeks". We live under a liberal dictatorship, ppl in Russia live in a police state. It's obviously worse in Russia but not that much.
