Evi,

It is not just the Eurozone... UK banks are sitting on unrecognised losses on bonds and mortgages; and bad debts will be creeping up here as well. I doubt that the extra interest profit they have been making is enough.

Adrian,

Listen to Nadine Doris on LBC catchup... she was dishing the dirt on Boris's enemies for an hour between 8 & 9 on Ian Dales programme this evening. Most amusing...

Adrian,

'But im not going away.'

Never a truer word written by you; post recommended.

Kenny,

People need to pay something for the services they receive, otherwise they do not value them.

The 'evil remainer'... hopefully she has another pint of G&T during the ad break.

Nadine Doris on LBC dishing the dirt on Boris's enemies... most entertaining to listen to the circular firing squad warming up. Can always be listened to in the future with catch-up radio.

Hopefully she has had a number of drinks and says stuff she regrets...

This is clever... Ask it to analyse a picture of food, and it identifies the food item and gives some sarcastic comments in Gordon Ramsay's voice

The truth has come out pretty fast...

I suppose if they are dead they can pay 100% IHT direct to The King?

But worry not - GOV have said that they have beaten inflation, so an increase in power costs could never affect Owner Occupier inflation... just like people remortgaging will all be able to get even better deals than they are currently on [NOT]

Tygra,

Being aware is not the same as living in fear... The NHS is under resourced so any illness that has the potential to overwhelm it is worth noting even if your only concern is to potentially trade any panic.

Is the countdown ticking?

There were 2 reasons why inflation dropped; 'magic accounting' from changing how inflation was calculated [see video that started this thread] and energy price hikes dropping out of the caluculations. So this cannot be good news:

WHOLESALE ENERGY COSTS LEAD TO RISE IN PRICE CAP

This will feed through into inflation just as the 2p cut on NI kicks in... So, is it really affordable? Or, are GOV just a lying bunch of t-nucs getting ready for an election and trying to save as many seats as possible?

And OPEC delayed a meeting about oil production costs because the Saudis are not happy with how little other countries are cutting... Oil down to $75 a barrel.

This is worrying... We know how the last respiratory outbreak in China went!

https://promedmail.org/promed-post/?id=8713261

'With the outbreak of pneumonia in China, children's hospitals in Beijing, Liaoning and other places were overwhelmed with sick children, and schools and classes were on the verge of suspension. Parents questioned whether the authorities were covering up the epidemic.

In the early morning, Beijing Children's Hospital was still overcrowded with parents and children whose children had pneumonia and came to seek treatment. Mr. [W], a Beijing citizen: "Many, many are hospitalized. They don't cough and have no symptoms. They just have a high temperature (fever) and many develop pulmonary nodules."

The situation in Liaoning Province is also serious. The lobby of Dalian Children's Hospital is full of sick children receiving intravenous drips. There are also queues of patients at the traditional Chinese medicine hospitals and the central hospitals. A staff member of Dalian Central Hospital said: "Patients have to wait in line for 2 hours, and we are all in the emergency department and there are no general outpatient clinics."'

FT: Far-right leader set to come first in Dutch elections, exit polls say

https://archive.ph/Rdtv6

"Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders is on course to win the most votes in parliamentary elections on Wednesday that were dominated by debate around rising immigration in the Netherlands.

Wilders’ Freedom party is projected to win 35 seats, doubling its total, followed by a left-wing alliance led by the EU’s former climate chief Frans Timmermans with 26, and then the Liberal VVD with 23, according to an exit poll."

Is this a pitfall or benefit in proportional representation? Wilder will have the most votes but no seat at the Power Table; it will anger his supporters...
