Markets This Morning12 Mar 2020 06:49
Japan down 4%, America down 5% last night and Kuwait has suspended the Markets there until further notice
I am no economist, but what are the ramifications if the U.K. suspended the Stock Exchange?? How would that work, and would it work easier if countries followed suit.??
Unfortunately I just couldn"t watch Sky any longer this morning after an interview with John McDowell, who it appears is still flogging the Labour Manifesto as if it was never defeated by such great numbers to start with. His solution for Government urgeny is to increase the minimum wage to £10 an hour, and we should never have allowed the NHS to decline ias it has. Am I missing something here??
It would seem we are coping much better than many other countries, America has not banned the U.K. from the actions they are taking, and at a time when constructive input has never been more important, that i the best our Opposition Party can offer. Again, causing political divides at a time of national importance, why do people play the blame game as their first line of attack. when they do not have a clue as to what exactly is involved. I personally have a lot of trust in this government to make decisions, hard decisions, where there are no guarantees as to results of those actions. No countries could have prepared for this virus, every country has bed shortages, and nobody knows exactly what will happen.
I am sure Donald Trump is being put through the ringer, as if anybody knows exactly what is the best to do, but he is making decisions, and I believe it is to our credit that the U.K. is not included in the European shutdown. I would prefer to see Corbyn and McDowell put in permanent isolation and leave Diane Abbott to work out the numbers of expected cases!!!
Have the best day you can all have, ATB C7
