Jif, I don't think conspiracy theory I think silly old fart for thinking politicians, banks and markets are infallible. Anybody with an ounce of sense knows this is not the case
They all have a political bias. Much financial news survives on promotion. Gordon Bowden is just a rather clumsy Ruthie. He has a point in that there are scoundrels out there but I am very sceptical. At least Ruth has a journalistic background and knows where to toe the line. I fear Gordon is just bored and needs a new hobby. Gardening?
I do, or try to keep on top. I must admit to having missed the piece in City Wire that allatsea left a link for. Have quite a varied PF and have been a bit preoccupied with oil of late. Good luck to you
