I do too.... though given the time taken.... I suspect the generals are going to be hung out to dry and the ministers will just slip away...
He is the only light I can see at the minute. If the Tories are left in power, we will all be back in the workhouses by 2020!
I hope all those responsible get what's coming to them after the Chilcot Inquiry.
You can't take your eyes of this for long.
Now forecasting a cut in interest rates, possibly down to zero, and rising food prices as cost of imports increase.
Pensioners living off their savings will see a drop in income.
Own brands will become popular, and Aldi and LIdl will see an even bigger increase in market share.
None of which wasn't foretold. Ostrich impressions have done us no favours.

Isn't the wine an investment too?I've had three days of waiting for the markets from the Nikkei opening to the Dow closing, I've had enough of it for now. I think I'm as covered as I can be for the time being.
Now it's time for a bottle of wine, and they can do what they do by themselves for a few days now.
Isn't the wine an investment too?Oh and do you like my new look?
Yep, thanks for the makeover, better than the cold fish look any day.It'll be a short lived investment.
You fancy the supervillain look then?

My view is this. I waited a year to go on a diet programme that was intended to support me while I was pre-diabetic and hopefully prevent me developing diabetes - during that year on the waiting list I had to take drugs for my fibromyalgia that increased my weight and ironically on the date of my first appointment of the diet support I was told I was diabetic.Am I naive in assuming there will be more money for nhs services?

I waited 6 months for a consultation at my hospital because overnight I lost a quarter of the sight in one of my eyes. The appointment was classed as urgent (six months)! - I have been referred to a thyroid consultant twice, that last time was 18 months ago. Despite chasing I have never even had a letter to say I am on a waiting list. I am on a waiting list to attend a expert patient course. I have been promised a date in September. I was referred at the end of March. I am on a very long waiting list for podiatry - one of the toes on my foot is completely numb. My diabetic doctor said I had to see him in six weeks for a diabetic check up, there were no appointments until 9 weeks time. I have more but its boring and I know that many people feel frustrated about similar occurrences with their own health care. The point I am making is that all that happened while we were part of the EU. Can it get worse now we are out of the EU? In my case I am not sure that it would make much difference to be honest. As far as the economy is concerned. I was poor while we were in the EU and I am sure I will still be still poor now we are out. I am not one of the lucky ones who risk losing millions of pounds. Do I care that someone else will lose millions. Not really.
Well, I now have direct impact of what it means. I work for a European company. Overnight, abusive graffiti was sprayed on the walls. Spanish and Turkish shops in my home area of London (that voted remain by 78%) had their windows smashed. Forget all the **** that's about to happen, Xenophobia, racism and right wing extremism is coming to the fore. I may have mentioned it in a post in the how will you be voting topic.
And with the reduction in available government spending, it will only get worse. I could make comparisons of Nigel Farage with historical figures, but fundamentally, this is a very bad place.
That's incredibly sad
I was thinking tonight that the level of seriousness is as near as WW2 footing as we have seen in my life. To that end we need a steady, stabilising states person to guide us through, reaching out across the house, similar to what Churchill did so remarkably.

Welcome.because of the new exchange rate, I might be better able to vacation in the UK
This is a statement I tend to agree with, although I know it's not as clear cut as that.My son said this morning that he simply doesn't care now, he doesn't feel this is his country, the one he was born into anymore. The oldies have said "We've got our country back". Those under the age of 40 have lost theirs.
I agree, nothing is that clear-cut but that's how it seems to both of my sons and quite honestly my family is all I care about now. I am going out of my way to be kind to immigrants and as for the rest of the country...well the country has spoken and that's democracy. It seems turkeys do vote for Christmas after all.This is a statement I tend to agree with, although I know it's not as clear cut as that.
