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.

He is lucky with oil prices which has made have made some of his other figures look better than they are.
Listen to the analysis to-night and FT tomorrow!
Actually, Ed's reply was better than I expected.
The "boy" may come good.

Anyway, my SBs look better than they did a couple of days ago.

oil prices have assuredly helped the feelgood factor and of course keep a tight lid on inflation (for better or worse)
the market clearly liked the statement, and from the little i listened to, there was not much negative, though there's inevitably some who are disappointed

Terror attack at Tunisian museum leaves 22 people dead: 'Islamist' gunmen slaughter foreign tourists and take dozens hostage before being killed themselves as armed police swarm to end siege
At least 17 foreigners have been killed in a terror attack in Tunisia
Twenty-two people were killed in the attack: 17 tourists, the two gunmen, a museum security officer, a cleaner, and a police officer
Two gunmen opened fire in the capital's Bardo Museum about midday
The pair 'hunted down' tourists indiscriminately in the shocking attack
Another 30 people were held hostage before police raided the building
Both attackers and a policeman were killed in the ensuing shootout
The dead included nationals from Italy, Poland, Germany and Spain
Tunisian PM Habib Essid has warned attackers may have had accomplices
the above happens when the world as weak feeble cowards as leaders
the world powers need to act or put up the white flag for good

George Osborne got the economics right. That's what has killed Labour
Labour's foxes have been killed in the most boring way imaginable: sensible economic policy
By Dan Hodges
5:00PM GMT 18 Mar 2015
As I wrote yesterday, George Osborne wasn’t interested in using this Budget to pull any rabbits from any hats. Instead, he used it to shoot Labour foxes.
The attack line that Tory cuts would take public spending back to levels not seen since the 1930s was neutralised. Public spending will now be cut to levels not seen since Gordon Brown was sticking pins into dolls of Tony Blair.
The line George Osborne had failed to meet his original deficit reduction target was neutralised. Debt will start falling as a share of GDP – though no one seems to be entirely sure how.
The line that we are witnessing a “southern recovery” was neutralised. The economy is growing faster in the north than it is in the south. Though whether voters in the north will fully absorb that news remains to be seen.

wish that had come from the mirror rather than the telegraph
it's very predictable and even if with some validity, its source taints it

Max,
If you believe Osborne you will believe anyone.
Check his figures.

Yes it's a huge total but nothing like the figure had Ballsup been in No 11, let's not forget he wanted to borrow more, as did Kitchen-ed.
