The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
Going from bad to worse , Truss has made this Country a laughing stock . Threats of Windfall tax on our Banks is yet another nail in the coffin. Are foreign investors going to put their money here whilst we have a total moron in charge . For God's sake woman GO !
Every morning we get up , look at yahoo news , and then , come onto this site. No good news just more threats day after day , no wonder people are getting mental health problems. Gets to the stage just after 8 a.m. where we look at share fallers first and then share risers . Wars , strikes , fuel price rises , threats of blackouts over winter . Only good news today , we have Asda now offering a £1 deal in November and December for soup, a roll and unlimited coffee and tea to keep the old and hungry fed. What the hell has happened to our Country , and our World , how have mad men and women been allowed to take us over ? Come on Market and Lloyds , please rise today , and cheer us all up.
Both out by Christmas , please , and take Rees-Mogg with them , total lunatic . Then perhaps our Stock Exchange and the Country can get back to some semblance of normality . Worst Leadership in my lifetime. But who has the intelligence to take over , I am at a loss. Maybe all politicians should go , and Country should be run as a Business with a Board of Directors, all on three months notice , might concentrate minds , and realise we only survive as a Trading Nation. We need industry ! Ship building , car making , battery making , pharmaceuticals . and most of all electronics and chip making. No more reliance on foreign products from Countries like India and China supporting Russia.
Thank you for your comment yesterday , digitaljunior , happy to say heart has settled down again , by keeping very calm and resting , saved going to hospital and lying on a trolley for 12 hours . Obviously was yet another Angina attack , so GTN tablets and aspirin taken. Side effect of GTN are blinding headache , but better than half an hour with the undertaker.
Boo are still the best clothes for young girls , still very much in demand , and best thing since Chelsea Girl when I was young. Loved being dragged around Chelsea Girl in Liverpool on a Saturday afternoon. Vibrant colours and exciting fashion . Then coffee and cakes at Kardomah Cafe , and then plans made for the evening. Happy days.
A very worrying time for all us holders. I do not understand why politicians see us as the enemy , and shaft us at every opportunity . This lot have trashed the stock market , lost our credibility worldwide , and blame us for the mess they have got us into. It is time they listened to us, and stopped wasting money on toys. HS2 we cannot afford, so stop the project . Two and three quarter hours from Liverpool Lime Street to Euston is perfectly alright .and works . Smart Motorways they were told would lead to people killed on motorways , and it did ,and only now are they thinking of reversing the decision after many have died after countless millions wasted on the project They now think rather than road tax , we should all be charged for the time of day we travel on roads , the technology to do that will cost billions , and we will have to install it in our cars and van and wagons , total madness ! The answer to road funding is to tax electric cars , after all only the rich can afford them, and so can afford to pay . STOP WASTING MONEY , live within our means , if only these people had common sense . We could in fact do a windfall tax on energy companies , but as Truss worked for Shell --- ? .I will never vote Conservative again.
Amazing to discover that neither Kwarteng nor Bailey have any Accountancy qualifications . Both got degrees in History , well at least they are making history now.!! They will be able to write a book , "How we trashed the British Economy " Will probably be printed in China as we have no industry left now. That means most of us on here are higher qualified than these two . Worrying isn't it.
Kwarteng OUT , Truss OUT . Bailey OUT . Common Sense IN . If we don't move fast to repair the damage caused by this trio we risk civil unrest and a General Strike . I am very worried at the state of our Union Nation , we are at risk of breaking up , and going like Yugoslavia ,into oblivion . We need leadership .
Yes, money wasted on statues and memorials . On another subject , I was shocked at the weekend when my Son told us that they had to buy a stationary pack from the school for their year three child to start the new term , as the school cannot afford to issue the items. The pack contains biro , pencils, rubber, ruler , note book , exercise books , scissors , whiteboard markers etc. This is yet another added cost on top of uniforms for both kids . I How times have changed !
Looks more like the Muppet show now , heaven help us . With this latest lot of so called leaders ,no wonder the shares are dropping , and our economy shrinking , no leadership skills whatsoever . We live in sad times .We need a tried and tested Management team to run the Country and get rid of these wasters .Did anyone else see the picture of the gym under water after the rain in Parliament Square yesterday , top of the range equipment , all paid for by us the tax payer, and in a Country where children are being fed by food banks . Bessie Braddock would turn in her grave !
67Sam . Your statement is quite true, big brother will know everything you do , every transaction , and pinpoint your every move in real time when you go out and spend money . We live in worrying times . Along with the supermarkets with their " loyalty cards " , which itemise everything we have bought , we are being monitored and watched constantly .
Be aware that the Banks want to get rid of cash as quickly as possible , they are all trying to even get kids onto cards . But beware as soon as they achieve this goal they will charge whatever they want as a monthly fee for you to have a bank account . There will be no more free banking and no more free monthly bank statements , only a monthly fee and a charge for all transactions. The banks are not and never will be our friends !!! Remember Jesus threw the money lenders out of the temple , he had foresight !
