i think it's very important to remember that these companies were completely rescued by austerity. My cgt went from 18% to 28% and was crippling. I was trying to help the economy but look at what has been done with the austerity from me and others. Directors paid themselves bonuses! (no thanks or pay tax payer back) Crown estate repared palaces. I was not born to help the crown estate. It's so insulting. These landlords that have pocketed the austerity have no shame and cloak themselves in religion and nationalism. It's a little like the gentlemen v the players scenario that used to prevail in sport . The landlords are essentially saying they are allowed run off with as much tax payer money and hardship as they want to because in some way they are 'good' players. Like i said before i don't want masons or property lawyers or landlords or developers doing so well for themselves from austerity and those people being so devious and narrow minded and non-contributing, non inventing, non investing, backward looking, and vain, and tax avoiding, non scientific. capable of summoning mumbo jumbo (prophet job? really that's all we need TMT. I was rescued by modern science and no amount of praying (or donations for next world) would have helped).
I wanted a diverse economy. I think the landlords forget that it was the diverse economy that rescued them ( as they ready their processions , good marriages fine clothes)
lets say that people like Blair, Brown, Cameron, BJ , May primarily represent the interests of the landlords.Why is that a responsible way to behave when they caused such grief and have been so disastrously expensive to rescue. And they caused a massive delay to build the things we should have started decades ago. And you guys just come on here like nothing happened. Are you plants?
An imaginary conversation in a merchant bank/Goldman etc type institution
'Former high politician we or rather our clients (ahem) would like to know if the house builders will logically face any measures to recover the bail out ?
' Haven't heard anything yet. Big lobbies against it I hear'
' But what about the incredibly unfair director bonuses. Isn't there outrage?'
'It won't get covered in my view'
'So our clients are good to go with investments in this sector? (a nod) Brilliant , you can work from home the rest of the year (wink). END
And the point about do they invest after they have all been bailed out. Emphatically no they don't. They hold on to the mountains of cash and use it to turn screw back to medieval times. Military and intelligence are flummoxed because their economic advisors can't or won't work it out and fundamentally couldn't operate a market stall better than anyone else.
Getting anything back off the landlords(already a decade waiting) will be like getting water from a stone. Everything so slow and so 'impossible' for them to contemplate' and let's delay more (they say) until the politicians can be changed,delay until 'forgot
