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.

D and h,

Another point about education and the chances of a tory government after next election is that the populace of the UK is relatively well educated.

But the more important thing is that by 2015 the voters will have the information before their eyes and be witness to the general decay of the UK society over the 5years of tory occupation.

My guess, at the moment, is that labour will be returned to office, I hope that it is not with too much of a majority.

Nightmare,

Perhaps, you don't like the messages.

cynic your noty very bright
they put 10 pounds each then got 1 pound back 3 times 9 is 27 plus is back pocket 2 pounds makes 29pounds
it is a mathmatical error ever one knows this
you are just a fool
not bright at all just a self made pillock

I think you are being obtuse.

"The situation would have been the same no matter which government was in power, except it would have been worse under Labour."

This referred to the situation, not the response. The situation would have been the same, such as a deep recession in the EU and the UK's finances being worse than Labour admitted. The response would have been different with Labour still having to make deep cuts as they admit and borrowing heavily. The time to make cuts is when the economy is at a low. If you make the cuts when the economy is growing then you stall the growth. History has shown us that the Labour party only knows 'tax and spend' and 'borrow and spend'.

Tanker,

Sorry, but your statements are misleading.

The statements are misconstrued and deductions are wrong.

There is no missing quid, it wasn't allowed for.

Tink about it, but for god sake don't ask Hays or the nightmare to help you!

Fred
If anything is outdated it is the Labour party's belief in the theories of Keynes. The principle is that it is worth paying people to dig holes and then fill them in again. That may seem silly, but it is a direct quote from Keynes. Keynes famously said that you could stimulate the economy by paying people to build pyramids, or to dig holes and fill them back up again. Now doesn't that sound like the Labour party.

Hays,

Cameron's, Osborne's and your economics theories are simplistic and unrelated to the real economy, as can be seen.

Also, slowly Osborne is slowly rejecting his previous stances, but the "market" has no faith in him.

As Dil suggested, if I were you I would re-read your statement and reform it. Basically, it is as daft as your economics seems to be.

Hays, they were analogies to help individuals like you to understand the model.

Sadly, he failed.

But, in one way the market has many holes in it.

fred 3 £10 =30 you give back to the £1 so they then paid 9 not knowing that he put 2 in is pocket plus the 27 =29

this is as old as the hills

There's not necessarily anything wrong with his ideas, but Keynes' policies are really only intended for use during a recession.

The problem is that they were being used during the boom years when they shouldn't have been. As a result, there's no money in the coffers now to implement the infrastructure investment advocated by Keynes, so you've got to have austerity whether you like it or not.

not if you're fred you don't .... he knows (from his comfy armchair) absolutely how this gov't has done everything wrong, and therefore by elimination, knows exactly what they should have done - hahahaha!

Tanker,

It's not difficult to see that you're a mathematical genius.

Tell me please, what is the Nash Equilibrium in the following game between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia?

The payoffs are net profits to each from producing millions of barrels of oil per day. If 5 million barrels per day are produced then the profit margins are £16 per barrel. If 6 million barrels per day are produced then the profit margins are £12 per barrel and they are £8 per barrel if 7 million barrels per day are supplied.



I'm sure you won't need it, but here's a clue if you get stuck.

cynic just watching the colditz story the polish quisling their was hundreds of them
sell there own mothers for a free ticket

to what?

a free meal .

The oil production problem is further complicated by the fact that the oil is a finite resource. Typically, many oil producers prefer lower production at a higher price to increase the lifespan of their resource. Many OPEC producers resist increased production due to a downward influence on prices. The last thing they want is selling even more oil at lower prices. It is similar to the way that diamond sales and production are controlled by a cartel to maintain the price.

Is the answer 42?

Or maybe the Kursaal Flyers - little does she know that I know that she knows ..

leaving aside that Colditz Story was a highly fictionalised version of a true story, perhaps MrT can enlighten us all about this (alleged) polish informer and what happened to him
