Gazzleberry fyi...Recession.
A decline during which trade and industrial activity are reduced, generally identified by a fall in GDP in two successive quarters.
This, atm is a contraction dipsh*t

"My last sale was at about 53p" I believe you have said before that at was c43p Lti.

Most of em are posting on here.

The UK MSMedia never seem to report on similar world events and the weak and gullible investors on LSE are taken in (its questionable if they are even investors).

The same global factors, the strong dollar and the aggressive tightening of monetary policy by central banks, are now threatening the stability of the whole financial system.
Some 14 emerging market nations are on the brink or have defaulted.
The dollar surge has led at least five central banks to intervene or threaten to do so to stabilise their economies.

Some $60billion of assets has fled emerging market investment funds largely held in advanced countries.
In China, 45% of property development lending is in trouble. Rises in house prices, with Turkey and the US among the biggest surges, have put the residential property market in danger.

Thankfully even though the UK has seen substantial increases, it's housing market doesn't appear to be on the danger list given the big falls elsewhere.

Gate13, The Bank of England was warned about a looming pension fund disaster five years before it was forced to intervene to prevent a meltdown in the bond market….

The lumbering UK pension industry is behind the curve just like the EU.
Did they think NIRP was forever. They're always too slow to act, unlike their charges.

We're only making plans for Nigel.........XTC

"Do I consider myself British, no. Scottish, yes. European, yes." That's just your opinion but as usual your opinion counts for nothing Gazzleberry, you are British so get over it.
Are Scottish British citizens?
The answer to all of these groups of people has, until recently, been straightforward: there is no such thing as Scottish citizenship; Scotland is part of the UK. Nationality law is reserved to Westminster, and all residents of Scotland are British citizens.

Long before anyone here was born, the main published figures that indicate how well a country is performing are GBP and the unemployment rate.
The Brexit bashers would do well to remember that and start comparing the UK figures with some of the individual countries that are under the Brussels bureaucracy. Perhaps they would not be so anti of their home nation if they could take the time to investigate the figures. However reading between the lines they are probably of dubious heritage anyway.

Barnett formula, currently worth £30 billion pa.
A perfect example of 'foreign aid' gone wrong, and biting the hand that feeds you. :-)
We'll if you listen to Sturgeon they want to be foreign and not many can understand them (that's in thought as well as speech).

As she spoke yesterday of her determination to gain independence for her country, sterling rose briefly. The prospect of an annual £30 billion boost to the Exchequer was welcomed. But the markets soon realised it was an impossible dream. And sadly for some on here also an impossible dream.
She concluded with a thrilling peroration of the “overwhelming power of democracy to triumph.” Unless it was Brexit-related, obviously.
On asylum seekers….
The loving kindness at the heart of an SNP independence project is going to provide a home for the world’s asylum seekers. This would certainly provide an economical labour force but it suffers from the problem that asylum seekers really don’t want to live in Scotland, and let's face it,who can blame them.
Dream on up there!

The web is full of, for and against everything you want to make your own point.
The UK had a problem a couple of years ago they were running out of time and couldn't give it away, excuse the pun but it was true.
Anyone who's involved with sums of this magnitude are on the make, especially the HoL, it's all on top of their outrageous daily expenses.
Do you think they are on these various committees for nothing?

Corrupt Elites Siphon Aid Money Intended For World’s Poorest

You can go on and on, and it's not just the UK. Foreign aid doesn't reach the poorest countries only the one that the giver might receive some benefits in the form of trade etc.
Come down off your high horse Epro.

You've got a friend in Gazzleberry Epro. Last week he said this "The media doesn't report on what hasn't happened. It reports on what has happened." So it must be true:-) then he said "Anyone who takes anything at face value is an idiot."believe nothing.
So is he with you, or is he calling you an idiot Epro?

That's a good example of a mixed up SNP supporter.

"There is nothing at odds with this in my saying they will soon be stopped from pursuing their idea of cutting benefits. Based on the Telegraphs own reporting."
Expect you didn't say that did you Epro?

"All reported in the Telegraph" Epro. I wasn't aware that the government of the day has resorted to using newspapers to announce official government business. There's no argument on my account just putting you on the correct path so you won't make the same mistake in the future.

"Oops, don't need to read their drivel. Use the filter, it is surprising just how relaxing and in control you feel."
We can tell how relaxed and in control you feel Gazzleboy, that's why you keep commenting on something that you're not reading lolol.
Priceless.

Epro.
"He has been stopped on 45% tax and soon on benefit cuts."
To anyone reading the above, the 45% tax band was announced and then rescinded or in your words stopped. The so called benefits cuts have never officially been announced so at this moment in time how can they be stopped?
Personally I think reversing the alternative tax band was a mistake.
Instead of me taking my "head out of the sand,"
how about you taking your head out of the newspapers and wait for government announcements. That way you might stop trying to denigrate the elected government of the day pushing your own anti government leftwing agenda.

I don't believe it was a case of "keeping up" I was questioning your ambiguous comment Epro. As I said nothing has been announced so nothing can be stopped as you say.

Yes I did know that nomlungu, but nothing has been announced probably more press speculation/mischief.
Last year the pensioners missed out on the triple lock
not sure of the details but pensions are classed as a benefit although most would disagree.

"He has been stopped on 45% tax and soon on benefit cuts."
What or which benefit cuts have been announced Epro?
I'm not aware of any.
