@chakrabortty Loved your art re Blair et al w/o agreeing all views. Kernel of 2008 crisis was usa sub prime - ie reckless loans dressed up as AAA combined with sheer size of US economy. Dec 2006, age 42 , I was offered a 40 yr mortgage by N Rock at 125% LTR !!!
@NevettJason@Brutal_Realist_@richimedhurst Not the locals - their leaders - they are being fleeced / oppressed - try looking into Kenya situation now eg on WS .'World Questions'.
@Brutal_Realist_@richimedhurst Yawwwn yes it was Deliberately done to annoy just You. And the lamentable govt since is Entirely fault of uk and not the venal & murderous and self-interested ruling class which took over
@Independent#nowak It is striking that Independent has not permitted btl comments upon this story. Is this just an ommission, or instead an attempt to manage / censor opinion? #henrynowak#nowak#southampton
@danielanadj77 Avoid contrib to forthcoming France economy collapse?! Can't tax more , alreadyin breach Euro deficit + French won't accept cuts !.....+ EU MPs' complaining about their EVs ( which need re charge mid Brussells / Strasbourg !)
@TheHolmesFront@Keir_Starmer Of course must be a report. But I have 2
questions (1) at what time - ** precisely ** was an ambulance called ? (2) was this before or after arrest and handcuffing a dying man? Both these should be readily ascertainable.
@outofheresooner@theipaper .........** Some** businesses remain profitable but this is a skewed & incomplete view . You've not taken in what was said by restaurant owners on Newsnight ! This has hit jobs .
@outofheresooner@theipaper All good Q s but do not change or excuse cumulative impact of decisions ( by both govts ) . Effect is to crush both businesses and jobs. Remember Reeves + Growth? Blair was right , it's just comfort zone & head in sand.
@outofheresooner@theipaper 1- Inc Min Wage -2- Emp Rights Act -3- Inc NIC -4- Business Rates. Net effect is c £3000 pa increase in employing min wage employee since 2004 [ over 40% inc in lab cost since pre-covid].
@outofheresooner@theipaper Imposing cost demonstrably led to job losses both at Nst T & continuing throughout hospitality ( and yet Still the govt & others refuse to accept this ). There Is no innovating around this.
@outofheresooner@theipaper You are right . AI is already changing companies ( EY & others taking on fewer new recruits ). I just think it's unrealistic to think this can be stopped or 'managed'
@outofheresooner@theipaper If you listen to Actual restaurant owners on Newsnight 28/5 they are making Nil profits or evrn loss making = jobs at risk . Cannot put prices up ( & iae this is inflationary)
