@LoftusSteve Very obviously he's a fantasist but I was shocked when, after the FT had exposed his lies, he received moral support from the best writer on matters financial..

@Frencheconomics Market reaction "very muted" because it's had plenty of time to discount this outcome (which was always very likely)

[Stephen Hedges @Stephen22833384]

@iAmJoshHunt Hedge fund exposure is mostly due to the basis trade. The DMO is also storing up trouble for the future by shifting issuance to shorter maturities

[Stephen Hedges @Stephen22833384]

@Ameer_Kotecha Couldn't agree more. In 2014/15 there were dozens of murders, in otherwise peaceful Penang, attributable to Rohingya who sought refuge in Malaysia

@aljhlester @ShipleyWrites You do realise, that on your definition, Malays are not indigenous to Malaysia. Do feel free to travel there and inform them (you can buy a one-way ticket because you won't be coming back)

@Frencheconomics Shouldn't the student loans figure have an appropriate weighting, allowing for those that will never be paid back?

@NeilDotObrien How has a company with shareholders funds of £3113 (in the case of No.8) been allowed to sponsor work visas. Insane

[Stephen Hedges @Stephen22833384]

@SAshworthHayes No comment, in police interviews then made a written statement that contained "more lies".
Where else have I heard that recently?

[Stephen Hedges @Stephen22833384]

@MrRBourne "Big Bang" in 1986 was essentially a modernisation of the London Stock Exchange but the left has rewritten the narrative, in an attempt to blame Thatcher, by trying to link it (incorrectly) to the GFC in 2008

@MorEdge_Insight East Timor?

[Stephen Hedges @Stephen22833384]

@DanNeidle The income limit for HDB flats in Singapore seems to work rather well (with the inevitable caveat that it's applied within a well-functioning society)

[Stephen Hedges @Stephen22833384]

@pacer142 @Ameer_Kotecha The underclass, to which you refer, is largely foreign workers imported from the subcontinent, so they couldn't care less

[Stephen Hedges @Stephen22833384]

@WilliamClouston Very obviously that statement is designed to appeal to Labour's (far left) membership, in the event that a job becomes vacant...

[Stephen Hedges @Stephen22833384]

@seethetruthits @KathrynPorter26 @ZackPolanski Land/Property is the main source of wealth for, at most, 2 out of the UK's top 20 richest. Your suggestion solves nothing

[Stephen Hedges @Stephen22833384]

@KathrynPorter26 @ZackPolanski A good proportion of those billionaires are foreign nationals and there's no realistic prospect of taxing their wealth (often held in assets overseas) anyway

[Stephen Hedges @Stephen22833384]

@emergenteffects Interesting parallel with Malaysia, where Malays used their political dominance to negate control of many sectors of the economy, by the Chinese minority

[Stephen Hedges @Stephen22833384]

@agentjono @cjsnowdon Regrettably, yes

[Stephen Hedges @Stephen22833384]

@BurnsideWasTosh The Gilt sold at a 75% loss had a yield of 0.5%, not 5.7%!
