You mean they studied, worked hard and made good careers?

yes, like bungle

 

[WATFORD zero]

I thought his Dad was in a chemist shop. Hardly landed gentry is it?

But rich enough to pay for young Rishi to go to Stroud Prep and Winchester College apparently, so in the 5% back then

I know many parents on modest incomes sacrificing a lot for the education and future of their kids. Is that so wrong?

What IS it with some on LGC not wanting people to do well?

Looking forward to a man with an estimated wealth double that of the actual King telling all us plebs that we're going to have to ensure some financial hardships because of the mess he and his party helped create.

I don't know why you started this whole debate about his childhood and parents ?

I thought his Dad was in a chemist shop. Hardly landed gentry is it?

I thought you were more of a policy man

HIS wealth?

Yes, wouldn’t that go without saying?

Jealousy. It's always the same.

HIS wealth?

Yes. His wealth is extraordinary. Coupled with his wife's it's gargantuan.

I just hope that poor old 'silver spoon' Rishi can afford to pay his winter heating bills. Should we have a whip round?

We'll need to raise quite a bit for him - he's got his new swimming pool in his northern garden to keep warm over the winter as well as his other 2-3 properties in the UK. I guess their Californian and other properties may not need so much heating though.

and I’m sure I’ve read recently that the countries with the strongest growth in Europe are those with the best public services. If benefits are at a sensible level, if public sector employees are paid at such a level that they can afford both to eat and heat their homes, that money gets spent in the local economy, keeps shops going!

the countries with highest GDP growth tend to be the east europeans, starting from a lower base. unsure how you measure public services objectively, i dont believe Croatia, Greece, Hungry are the best. interesting outlier is Ireland with consistent highest growth, which has lowest corporate tax and as far as i've heard not great in the public services area.

on Gilts watch, 10y is back to not-a-budget level, 30y is below. compared to German and US bonds which have risen ~0.3 and 0.5% they are lower than trend.

Successful guy. Well played him.

Hmmm Bidens on form ….calling the new PM …Rashee Sanook

Larry is happy

Jealousy. It's always the same.

Yep, and it's a really unattractive trait

 

[Eeyore]

Whether folk have reservations about the Tory party or Sunak's ability to govern, I will be proud to see a person of colour going through the door at number 10 with barely a murmur of discord over his origins but plenty of discord over his political persuasions.

At least he will be able to afford his own wallpaper.

The whole world is a complete mess.

Given the two main reasons for this are lockdown and Restrictions on Russia, which one do you not agree with?
