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.

For JB,

Must be nearly time for the home for you Fred

Jeremy Corbyn's economic policies could be 'highly damaging', economists warn

Fifty-five academics have signed a letter to the Financial Times expressing concern about the Labour leadership frontrunner's proposals

The economic policies of Jeremy Corbyn, the front-runner to become the next Labour party leader, are likely to be "highly damaging" and his proposal for "People's quantitative easing" would threaten "fiscal credibility", a host of economists have warned.

The veteran left-wing MP is expected to triumph in next week's Labour leadership contest and has proposed a number of economic measures, including giving the Bank of England powers to invest in housing, energy, transport and digital projects, reopening coal mines, and nationalising gas and electricity.

However, 55 academics have put their names to a letter to the Financial Times warning that Mr Corbyn's policies could have dire consequences for the country if they were implemented.

"We wish to register our opinion that the economic policies sketched by Jeremy Corbyn are likely to be highly damaging," they wrote.

"Renationalising industries is highly unlikely to improve the performance of its targets, and very likely, if history is anything to go by, to make things worse.

"If compensation is paid, it will be a waste of fiscal space, even unaffordable; in case it is not, it will be extremely damaging to the climate for enterprise in the UK as other companies fear the government would get a taste for it."

The letter added that People's QE "would be a highly damaging threat to fiscal credibility".

The academics also questioned forecasts that the Islington North MP has made for the funds that could potentially be raised from cracking down on tax evaders and cutting corporate subsidies and tax relief - so-called "corporate welfare".

They described the numbers as "unbelievable and add to the sense that Mr Corbyn's plans have not been seriously thought through".

breaking news eu to give out eu passports to migrants so they can get into the uk
gremany and france to give out thousands of eu pass ports to Calais and other migrants
so they can enter the uk legally .
we must man our borders and close the tunnel

Not sure where u saw that. Looks like a fake story.

Germany has given out thousands of passports to allow migrants to move round the eu
and the uk they are giving out passports to move migrants out of Germany quickly
they are misleading the eu rules

all migrants getting in to Germany are fast tracked to get passports ..

fact not fiction so they can leave Germany as eu pass holders and freedom to enter any country .

it has been happening for over18 months and Cameron knows the facts

I'm sure it is a fake story ,however when Germany take their one million migrants they will eventually have an EU passport so they will have access to the UK along with all the eastern Europeans who are coming .
Maybe another war with Germany is in order ,dust off the military hardware , oh i forgot we havn't got any !!

The TV news' images of the migrants trying and being boarded on trains remind me of images of the 440,000 Jews being put on trains to concentration or extermination camps by the far-right Hungarian parties in 1944.

Has humanity changed?

JB.

jimmy - exactly what farage said of course, but it certainly has validity under the current rules
