Following on from my earlier shout about “is this the end of the EU as we know it”, I have another comment today after watching the news reports.
Everyone seems to be missing the point that this Treaty that the 26 have signed up to will prevent a...
No matter what your political standing is the current situation in the EU and its impact on the UK is very serious. Whilst there is a land grab by the Euro-skeptics within the conservatives what ever happens over the next few weeks has ramifications across the board.
People seem to be taking Jeremy Clarksons comments on the One Show last night very seriously. I happened to watch the show (don't normally) and the comments were made for comic effect not as a belief.
When you consider the problems that we are having at the moment in the...
So after teetering on the edge for the last few months and a deal being reached with the other governments the Greeks have now decided to play politics with the situation and call a referendum. This is throwing the situation back to the edge of the abyss.
Are we now on the...
So the rating agencies have downgraded some of the UK banks. Are we in danger of talking ourselves into another recession or have they done this for another purpose.
I listened to a bit on the radio this evening and it was suggested that the reason for the downgrade was to...
Very interesting blog posting on the Telegraph site showing the real tax issue that needs to be addressed. The 50% on high earners gets the headlines but this is the real scandal that needs to tackled.
As with everything these days it's the average person trying to get...
Yesterday Vince Cable gave a speech to his party’s conference and whilst he should have concentrated on what he is going to do about growth he did make some valid points.
He raised the point of remuneration of managers of business and how this has got out of control...
I noticed on the news sites that the central banks in Europe had pumped more money into the banks in order to provide more loans to help funding pressures. I am sorry but is this the right thing to do?
We have pumped an inordinate amount of money into the banking system that...
Well did we actually see a massive change in politics over the last 24hours in the UK or are we back to the same old way come Monday?
It looks like the AV vote will be lost by a big margin and this will end the debate for the next few years – or will it? Is this the...
So Andrew Marr has come out and said that he has used a Super injunction in the past to prevent the press from reports on an extramarital affair he had. You have to admire him in a funny way for going public on this issue (although coming clean sooner may have been more principled).
On the news the other day there was the news article that the government is considering moving the May Day Bank holiday to either earlier in April or into October. Well my ten pennyworths is why are we looking at moving the day why don’t the government give us another day!!
So we now have less than a month before the historic referendum on changes to the UK voting system. This will not only affect our lives but also those of our children’s. Have you even thought about how you are going to vote?
The choice is simple, stick with the current...
I had the pleasure of meeting a friend in London yesterday for a superb lunch. However when we planned it we were not aware that there was the TUC march going on at the same time. This caused a lot of disruption and we had to find alternate ways to get from the east side of Whitehall to the...
I was shocked over the weekend to see the images coming out of Japan with the Earthquake and Tsunami and the devastation it has caused. It’s horrific to see these images and realise that there are human beings affected by them. My heart goes out to all those impacted by this.
Over the last few years one of the biggest mantras I have heard is that a business must focus on shareholder value and that should be one of the major drivers of the management teams in those organizations.
I was astonished today to see that if you had invested £100...
Well theres a revelation that has been far too long in the making. The billions that have been wasted on these projects is staggering and yet time and time the same mistakes are made.
The most obvious area to focus on is the people that manage these projects. I am an...
I have been astonished to read the recent articles in the Telegraph around the Public Finance Initiatives (PFI) that have been set up over the last few years.
The fact that we (THE UK TAX PAYERS) have to eventually pay £200billion for £50billion of assets. The is...
I hope everyone is watching and joining High's Fish Fight. the campaign to stop the practice of "discard" that is imposed by Europe on Fishermen.
Nearly 60% of the catch has to be dumped at sea dead if over quota fish are caught. This is an insane practice and...
So England didn’t get the FIFA world cup in 2018 even though they had the best Technical bid; the best Commercial bid; stadiums already built and promised a fantastic legacy. We also have the most watched league in the world with the greatest players in the world.
This...
