UK Fishing Industey and The New EU Deal
24 May 2025A reader writes, "Perhaps we have the government we deserve. Take fishing. The government cares nothing about it. Grimsby? Places like that. Who cares.

STARMER IS MANAGING BETWEEN SUPERIOR EXTERNAL FORCES, HE IS NOT GOVERNING
21 May 2025How a cautious centrist UK PM governs without vision, puppet to Washington, the markets, and yesterday’s alliancesRegretfully, I see our Prime Minister as a little Sir Echo to Washington. No matter the spin, we know the central aim of US foreign policy remains the maintenance of American hegemony, primarily over its own allies, and then by any means necessary to contain everyone else. A lot of strategic positions in US foreign policy circles are filled by Russian and Eastern European émigrés, fleeing pogroms and holocaust, many...

COMPARING TREATMENT OF CASH ON TRADING PLATFORM V. ETF PLATFORM
15 May 2025I can see why you're interested in CSH2.L. It's because it's an ETF, and so is available on your ETF platform, for your spare cash.Trading-cash is very slightly better - it pays 4.6% AER at the moment, compared with from what I can work out CSH2 YTD 1.6% > 4.36% AER.The T cash is instantly liquid - instant buy or sell, 24/7.

THIS IS NOT OUR WAR
Is This Really *Our* War? The View from Below
As the Ukraine war grinds on, it’s increasingly clear that Europe’s political class committed to a long conflict with Russia. From Berlin to Brussels and London, our leaders speak with one voice: this is about security, sovereignty, values, and defending the European Order.
But what if you step outside the corridors of power? What if you ask the builders, bakers, teachers, engineers, retirees - the real citizens of Europe? Here’s how the story sounds when the official line meets street-level common...
WHAT IS ASSET REVESTING
Asset Revesting: A Smarter Way to Surf the Markets?
1. Introduction – Beyond Buy-and-Hold
Most people still follow the model: buy, hold, pray.
Chris Vermeulen’s "Asset Revesting" offers a different methodology – one where your capital moves with the momentum of the markets, not against it.
It's a dynamic, trend-following strategy rooted in technical analysis and market discipline.
This post explores what Asset Revesting is, how it works, what technical terms underpin it, and – crucially – where its limits lie.
