MV & ATISHA

Is a bold statement that one. Let us be hoping that professor hufflepuff not read that as he will be tell us that if England win or lose good for the LLoyds Mcap.

Just reading the book.. "Politics on the edge" by Rory Stewart.. Very interesting...

Evening Bros.

TFE you are a wise man. you will know that every Govt one way or the other has pushed the Uk closer towards the cliffs edge. Not one has left the nation in a better state than when they took power.

The worse has to be the last load of wideboys.... Shocking. they should be the ones behind the bars not some guy who cannot afford a TV licence..

Rather than the chat on here someone now raise the issue....

"North Paddington Foodbank (NPFB) Launches Campaign to End Subsidised Dining for MPs and Address Rising Poverty in the UK.

As Westminster’s largest food aid charity, NPFB supports over 8,000 households annually, highlighting the stark disparity in our society. Last year, over 3 million people in the UK relied on foodbanks, now outnumbering McDonald's restaurants.

Despite this, the House of Commons Catering Services spends millions on subsidised catering for MPs, with all 17 bars and eateries losing around £7 million last year. While politicians enjoy three-course meals for as little as £10.41, the public subsidises luxury dishes like "Panko coated lamb loin with carrot and Timothy Taylor Ale purée, black garlic, potato galette, and natural jus."

They not leave until the carcass is stripped bare.....

I could tell them this yrs ago.... Uk full of the careful as you go areas with the feral kids running amok...

"Britain is on the verge of a “total breakdown of civil law and order” because of the prisons crisis, the new Labour Justice Secretary has warned as she announced plans to release criminals less than half way through their jail sentences.

In a speech at Five Wells prison in Wellingborough, Shabana Mahmood warned of “looters running amok, smashing windows, robbing shops and setting neighbourhoods alight” because of an impending collapse of the criminal justice system without emergency measures to tackle the prisons crisis".

Energy is the hot topic..

I chip in my pence worth..

Sabine Hossenfelder she tell you abo0ut about these things.. Bill gates also he keen on the Natrium reactor. Lots of benefit over the LWR reactor.

No harm in tapping sun energy or wind for that matter.... Ghana just built the solar lake .. Morocco 20% solar...

As for the oil.. Maybe 150- 200 yr worth still around..But as gets scarcer price will rocket.

Gas well .. Make up most of our capacity but how safe the supply when the third it comes from the Norway ?..

Energy / food security should be the top priority..

Dorfan

Direction of travel is not good with this conflict.. Looking like West trying to weaken Putin as much as possible before they go head to head. No one talking peace...

Stagecoach

Is my view Biden will be gone by 15th July and Kamala Harris she become the new candidate.

Looking like he going to lift the 2 child benefit cap... If he does my back of the matches box calculation is circa £1.8billion a year..

I notice this article posted a few hrs ago.. Lesson is to be learned here.

Respect..

Spot on Bros.

What has held the Uk back?.. I would add globalization as a major factor.... Those chickens coming home to roost when we was told we not need to produce things as we can import more cheaply.. The covid debacle is the recent example of how that can fall apart. Food will be the next big problem. India tea harvest very poor this year, let alone the ones we know about. Beryl it destroy Barbados crops....Germany also over reliant on cheap fuel for its industry now that wagon has only one wheel left on..

Being self sufficient is a good thing and that requires a balancing act population/ resources...

67Sam

Respect but Mv is correct with that one..

Listen to ​Historian/Author/Journalist Simon Webb.

Truth and lies about Windrush

As has been said before take of lot of what we are being the spoon fed a the "truth" with a pinch of salt..

Evening Bros.

Rachel Reeve giving her first insight into state of our finances. Well we knew this already the bond market they tell us so even though the stock market says all is ok... See what she come up with...

Starmer 2 thing I like..

Rwanda scrapped, House of lords the reforms underway. See what he come up with next also..

I follow the channel of Sabine Hossenfelder , theoretical physicist , book writer etc etc. Yesterday she posted and interesting summary of State of Germany. Is not good at all. Link below...I was knowing that broadband a problem due to Govt deciding on the copper network...But this has the knock on effects. Germany slowing going down the pan..?

Correct there Bros..

PV cells use the silver..

The ratio of the physical silver to paper silver is interesting... You know what I am saying?

These Bros crunch all the key numbers...

Bullion to my mind seem a very manipulated market...

China not bought any gold into the reserve for past two months...

"The good thing about buying gold Sovereigns is that that you don’t pay CGT on them when you sell them."

Cos they is the legal tender...👌

Morning Bros

Gold.... Well I can say this. Nigeria is latest to repatriate....

https://www.fxstreet.com/analysis/nigeria-plans-to-bring-gold-reserves-home-to-minimize-risk-202407012134

India also it repatriate 100 tons from uk vaults

I give you the quote...

"Legal plunder can be committed in an infinite number of ways; hence, there are an infinite number of plans for organizing it: tariffs, protection, bonuses, subsidies, incentives, the progressive income tax, free education, the right to employment, the right to profit, the right to wages, the right to relief, the right to the tools of production, interest free credit, etc., etc. And it the aggregate of all these plans, in respect to what they have in common, legal plunder, that goes under the name of socialism".

Frederic Bastiat

Or put this the other way. they take your things (money) and give them to someone else. .Had the recipient done that thing themselves it would be illegal....

it is for sure the case that all Govt do this to some of the degree but a Left wing Govt will shift into overdrive with this. You will see..

Afternoon Bros.

Bad vibes in the Lloyd house.

No doubt that the Tories left a huge mess. It was a tragic tenure that one for the Uk.. Not a Tory policy in sight by the end. The party had instead been highjacked by the minority factions in our society.

So we turn the page and see what happen next.

Cannot say I was looking forward to the Labour at all but is very early days.

Taxes up.. That a cert given the state of finances.

last Govt far to London centric so lets see.

Rwanda was always a bad move. how that pass the test of the value for tax payer?

I doubting the green agenda. not possible to run our energy without the fossil fuels and that need the investment.

Control the borders... May be that one get a whole lot trickier..

Uk has swung to the Left but the Europe it swinging to the right.

In the Macro. USA going bust, wars spreading and China and the EU clashing horns over trade... Japan. watch this space...

Morning Bros.

As most of us predict the new Govt is the Labour. In the end I not vote along with it seems 40% of the country , giving the lowest turn out since 1880. Bunch of wideboys in my eyes.

So the discontents have it !!!

We may have the short honeymoon period but the reality of what lies ahead will soon become apparent.

Plenty of our HNW clients have already actioned their wallets escape plans..

Looking like the steady demise of this country has just shifted up a gear..

If LePen is elected on Sunday ..!!! Not good for Uk and our porous borders.

Fenhenda

We know from history that the socialism doesn't work. We are as is said between the rock and the hard place..

My view is a plague on both their houses..

Tories cannot be allowed to continue. They spent last 14yrs with fingers in ears not listen to the people taht elect them but the Labour levelling up agenda should be of concern to anyone who has saved, worked hard and has the assets..
