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.

Does a Tobin tax that will cost the Uk more then any other Euro country, should be imposed on the Uk which is not even in the Euro zone me fair.

And how does it better regulate the financial service sector ?

From a 'bookie's point of view', what is the definition of the Eurozone 'collapsing and not working'?

For instance, if Greece has to go out then does that mean it is collapsing? Or does more than one country have to leave for it to be defined as having collapsed?

Or does a collapse mean the total and utter end and absolute demise of the Euro?

A,

The Tobin tax may dampen the market down.

If there is a profit made from within the market place (which has and effect on a society) then it seems reasonable to pay towards the upkeep of that society.

Also, if you are a member of a club, then is is reasonable to pay the fees.

But, even in a club to work efficiently there has to be give and take, the UK and its present "leaders" are on the take not prepared to give. I.E. greedy.

Part of the present economic chaos is due to failure to regulate it appropriately.

I think the market should be the servant of society, not society the servant of the market.

I was under the impression that the UK was one of only two? net contributors, I think we have already given far too much, and maybe the other net contributor(s) will not be willing to take up the slack.

Exec - Who knows, I'm only guessing in view of events, William Hill don't feel the need to lenghthen or shorten the odds, pretty certain they would have done if they were in anyway concerned. However I'm no expert on bookies.

An exlection now and the Conservatives would walk it!

Britons back Cameron's EU veto: poll

A majority of Britons think Prime Minister David Cameron was right to veto a new EU treaty to resolve the eurozone debt crisis at a Brussels summit this week, a new poll revealed Saturday.

The survey for the Mail on Sunday newspaper found 62 percent support for Cameron's move, which was roundly welcomed by Britain's eurosceptic press, with only 19 percent saying he was wrong.

"survey for the Mail on Sunday".. Credibility of the post disarmed in six words.

No shit Sherlock! Well knock me down with a feather - RBS brought near to collapse because of poor decisions

cc you will see in the next few weeks that a lot of jobs will go at tesco .

the dimwits and greedy dimwits who were labour made it worse
thetories who are weak doing their best
this is global and euro will fall
not good news but there you go

if the greece abd italians and spanish will not pay there taxes .
there is no hope .
and if you do a little reading you can see why the top 10% of the rich in these countrys do not pay thee share of taxes if the goverments of the eu want to fix
the problem in one go it is very easy to do take 15% off thetop 10% and the problem
is solved .
just look at the uk bhs easy jet and a few others those grredy owners pay no taxes .
this is the problem deal with them hard and if they refuse to pay charge them with
treason and take it all . and raise income tax to 50% on all earnings above 500k
and 60% on 1m

,

always remember the rich never pay the same percentage has the poor .
they pay far less of there wealth.it is time to act and make them pay

The polls are done by indepenent companies. I think you will find that there will be a few more polls supporting Cameron.

GF,

Wishful thinking, instant gratification satisfaction and a GDP based on a plastic generation.

Now, where is my first drink of the day?

But thanks.

You are right Fred, the growth in Britain during the Labour years was almost totally built on borrowed money, borrowed by Labour and the consumer. The developed world has had a binge on someone else's money, welcome to the pay back period.
