The calibre of politician in the bay is poor and there’s no revising chamber. The Lords for all its faults is tremendous in improving legislation. Obviously I hope the increase in members will help in this sense but my guess is more dilution and second rate even third rate politicians

The Chagos deal is the sort of thing that drives me nuts from the standpoint of sensible rational debate which in the past could happen. When I saw the headlines I was a bit perplexed by the numbers. But it was something that had started with previous Gov and signed off by this one. It’s a...

Nah I disagree there’s an economic theory relating to “nudging” behaviour if you make something more desirable then the idea is people will move. You can share between a cash and stocks isa. This might mean that the balance shifts a little more towards stocks isas but still retaining eg 15k in...

Yes I’m talking about the inflationary risk attached to savings rather than investments that tend to outperform considerably if they’re left alone. Personally I’d rather invest than save. I do have savings of course but that’s more for liquidity and easy access. I respect the different...

It’s riskier to leave money in savings than investments over long term. Of course there is “risk” but overwhelmingly with patience the market outperforms leaving it in a bank with low interest rates. Just a simple tracker can provide decent returns.

What’s wrong with that idea?

And this idea that the Chancellor should know every fine detail of every financial matter. Come on give your head a wobble.

The thing is it’s not a right or left wing thing. It’s a question of fairness. Before his populist age there was more of a sense of fair play. But the tribalism now is off the charts. Brexit, Johnson, trump etc etc its all skewed

Such a non story. I mean it’s 900 quid she’s the chancellor do people honestly in all sincerity think she’d risk her career over that. I’m no Labour supporter in a classic sense even though I voted for them. But my word i can see they’re getting a raw deal with the press. Wealth is definitely...

Well said

I do have sympathy for this opinion actually. They are not helpful to their cause. Both those politicians are divisive.

What ill never get about something like Dr Who is how people get so worked up about it being woke etc. It’s a literally a tv programme. From the little ive seen it’s a load of shit imo. But my response that is… not to watch it. Some people like it. Good. Enjoy.

Interesting. I think it’ll be a tight series but 3-2 to Aussies

Oh dear. Oh dear. You’ve had a stinker son.

Hehehe, nevermind I’ve literally demonstrated what you’ve said to be nonsense. Says cognitive dissonance without any idea of what that means Says I’m indecisive when my view hasn’t shifted since April. I’d log off personally.

When you say indecisive what you mean is I’m not taking an absolute position. But then you’re one of those “Tory scum” types aren’t you. Someone who can’t see anything beyond a black & white position. There’s literally nothing I’ve said that is indecisive. Do I think Sheehan should have got...

I said “looking like” I didn’t say is. I’m one of these old fashioned twats who believes in giving managers time. I’m a swans fan I simply want us to do well like you do. I’m always against the panicking types. I’ve never really shifted from what I believe to be the right way forward.

Oh here we go.. Dare I say there’s no cognitive dissonance going on but I suppose it sounded good. Just debating with you chap don’t get all insecure about it. If I thought like that why would I even debate with you. I assume you copied in the stalker. He’s still there is he bless him.

I think you’ll find there’s a lot who are there or very close. No I’ve literally said he should get to end of the season and I’ll stick to that unless things get disastrous.
