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.

Five More Years of Tory Rule

by craig on July 15, 2014 9:44 am in Uncategorized

In the UK, the Tories have edged into the lead in the latest Guardian/ICM opinion poll. While New Labour’s support for benefit cuts, government spending plans and the entire neo-con agenda means it makes no difference who is in power at Westminster, residual voter tribal loyalty to these moribund and corrupt parties remains the basic fact of “mainstream” politics, even after the voters have twigged the politicians are almost all self-serving crooks.

That is important for Scotland, as the perception of continued Tory rule at Westminster will increase the independence vote. By the Autumn it is going to be very clear the Tories are in power until 2020. But will that perception enter the public consciousness before September 18 2014? Charles Clarke, ever anxious to stab his colleagues in the back – a defining Labour trait – is doing his best to make it clear.

COST OF LIVING CRISIS...........

the facts..........

Shaun Richards ‏@notayesmansecon

So with UK average earnings rising by 0.3% that means real wages fell by 1.6% (CPI) or 2.3% (RPI) in March to May #Realwagecrisis

It does put the BoE and Mark carney in a very difficult and dangerous position now.

Housing inflation at 20% in London but earnings only rising 0.3%.

Ohh what to do with Interest rates!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing!

sticky - central london house prices are a freak and have been for a very long time ..... whether or not 20% increase in the last year is correct is somewhat irrelevant .... of much more interest is house inflation without that distorting factor

one should also look at house prices relative to where they were in say 2010/2011 when the bottom fell out of everything and many found themselves with negative equity

Not at all youve got it wrong. Completly wrong.

The more a person spends on housing costs out of their disposable income the less it means thay have for other things, and as such their spending on other goods and services falls.

This fall/reduction in demand for other goods and services could lead and probably will lead to the so called recovery coming to an end.

Carney as gotten himself into a real pickle, the housing market is not just firing on all cylinders in London but the rises are now starting further North as people are forced out of London and have to find somewhere else to live.

ohhhhhhh what a mess under this Tory government.
