Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

hahaha sticky :-)
i am pretty certain that in those days that jewish immigrants (they were predominantly ashkenazi) looked to their own community for help and of course being obliged to forge one's own way was a great incentive

not true in either the jewish or asian communities for sure, though with intermarriage and peeps moving to new jobs all over the country or indeed the world, cohesion of the unit must inevitably weaken ..... there's good and bad news in there

The head of the UK’s central bank, Mark Carney, has said he will initially use tools other than interest rates to control Britain's economic recovery

He can use quantative easing to encourage growth. He can use credit restrictions to slow inflation. He can demand increased multiples of banking security to slow lending. There are lots of tools he can use to control the various money measures such as M0, M1, M2, M3 and M4. He can even require banks deposit higher amounts with the BoE.

Yep but were supposed to be doing all that NOW. Thats my point. Its nothing new.
Is he going to start handing down penalties.

I doubt that he has been using most of those tools yet. The BoE only adjust the money measure factors when needed. They are not keen to micro manage constantly.

They have been to some extent because the banks werent lending.
Vince Cable got on the case 18 months back and more or less placed your list in a weekend rag.
I think hes going to get tough with the individual banks.
About time.

Vince Cable has very little power. He seems to be tolerated by the Conservatives as something they have to out up with as part of the coalition agreement.

Cynic their is a case of increasing benefits greatly because the propensity to spend amongst the poor and working classes is very high. The multiplyers would then come into play and generate growth.
Chance of this happening.................................SILCH. he he.

I have to say I was disappointed with Cameron's tribute to Nelson Mandela in the House of Commons today, sometimes it would be better if he chucked his script writers out of the window and spoke from the heart.
