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.

8 pm channel 4 , Dispatches how the rich get richer

Labour made the rich , richer

Cynic,

I should have hesitated!

Damn!

--------

But with Germany pondering (correct word) its exports to Russia, Russia's economy being slowed down by sanctions.

Ukraine's, tottering economy, and dangers of the Russians to inflame an artificial civil war and Cameron and G20 ratcheting the discourse.

(Not sure how much Air traffic goes over the Ukraine.)

(But I may ask a Russian if he would move his car to let me out of somewhere, but however much I thought he was wrong to block me in I would tell him to get out of his back garden. I would suggest a drink of vodka, a meal and a chat about my problems.)

Also, if QE does start in Europe with already lower "wages" that might drop initially the cost of unit production.

And with a silly billy shouting that unless he gets his way the UK is out of the EU, I can see many in the EU saying "piss off" and reinstatement of "trading cost", in practice even if illegal.

Some, medium and small companies in Europe don't trade UK, because of the exchange palaver.

Etc/

==============

The next 12-18 months are going to be "interesting" in politics and economics.

That doesn't even mention the ME and Israel and Asia and ? Africa and the Americas, starting to stir and reject "Western Standards".

Or Japan, China, perhaps Asia going into slow down and reducing imports from UK and rest of the World.

I have succeeded in depressing myself.

I am not putting anything on the table as far as SBs are concerned for a week or perhaps more. Luckily I may be tied up.

Holding share for long term, but may curse myself later.

the effect of the fermented green tea has clearly affected your brain!

PS.

I hope Farage and cronies are adolescent school boy and will passing through a phase.

SNP, I hope will cool down and now where their nipple is!

Manuel,

I am luckier than you!


I still have a functioning brain.

Ask you wife where you lost yours?

she can't remember either :-)

Does anyone know what Fred's position is?


Is there a precise definition??

Im a Celeb get me out of here........

Jimmy Bullard in his trial, LOL, he he ha a ho, oh that little snake it was a right little aggresive barsteward.

What a laugh, pithed myself.

Haze,

When I was about 7-8 I delivered groceries for the local grocers on a wheeled toboggan.

Got 6 pence and a drink of pop for a Saturday morning's work.

Made me rich in more ways than one.

But, even now, I would cheerfully drive Haze in a hearse to his burial.

Some burials are better than others.

Miliband on The Agenda on ITV now getting mugged by everyone including pop singer Myleene Klass making him look stupid.

That's hardly difficult with Millibandus, he starts that way by default.

Can you imagine the polls if it were the lesser spotted Millibandus was in charge?

Quindell chairman heads for exit as company tries to restore confidence

Quindell will make a last-ditch attempt to secure its future on the stock market today by parting company with its contentious founder and chairman Rob Terry. The technology contractor, which has been fighting a dramatic collapse of confidence in its share price, is expected to tell the stock market that Mr Terry is stepping down from the board with immediate effect. Also likely to be leaving the company are Laurence Moorse, the finance director, and Steve Scott, a non-executive director. Mr Moorse, a long-standing associate of Mr Terry, will stay on for 12 months and Mr Terry will remain a paid consultant to Quindell, according to Sky News.......Mr Terry is set to be replaced on an interim basis by David Currie, the former head of investment banking at Investec, the Anglo-South African broker and financial services group.

In a surprise statement to the stock market, Quindell said that Canaccord had tendered its resignation on October 21 after working for the group for less than 18 months.....The resignation left Quindell, which is listed on London’s junior AIM, with only one broker, Cenkos Securities, which is also its nominated adviser...... .....Cenkos found out about Canaccord’s resignation only after the market had closed on Friday and it immediately advised Quindell to issue a formal statement because its share price is particularly sensitive at present. The date of Cannacord’s resignation meant that it informed Quindell that it would no longer be its broker before details emerged of a contentious loan arrangement made by the three Quindell directors, including Mr Terry. Quindell first detailed the agreement with Equities First, an American company, on November 5.

How can a million crimes a year disappear from police statistics?




Crossing the line? Police have been accused of under-counting crime numbers Photo: Alamy

We are told by the police and the Government that crime is falling and has been for the past 20 years. But how do we know for sure? A report by HM Inspector of Constabulary (HMIC) has found that one million crimes a year are disappearing from official figures because the police manipulate them in order to meet targets.


Although HMIC do not quite accuse the constabularies of “fiddling” the data, that is the implication. There was an “undercurrent of pressure not to record a crime across some forces”, it said. Violent crimes and sex attacks were particularly vulnerable to being deleted by the police’s “inexcusably poor” systems. In the official government figures for the period covered by the HMIC report there were 3.7 million offences recorded by the police. If the HMIC’s findings are factored in, the true total would have been 4.5 million, or 800,000 more.

There is a hole in the Cameron boat.

I think after the election the figures and statistics which the present government has published or used for public consumption should be publicly examined.
