17 November 2021The tight labour market is not directly a result of covid, nor Brexit, but due to younger people staying on for more studies and older people przferring early retirement.Here is the thinking behind one older person's decision to quit work. (Extract is presented with all punctuation as-found.)===Cool.
Think we should leave Britain to the Woke young now. As a bit of an
older worker am thinking of moving abroad anyway to retire, with my
equity, inheritance, pension and savings, 15+ years early. Personally,
speaking, the reason...

THE CURRENT POLISH PM : GOOD GUY OR BAD GUY?
17 November 2021The answer might surprise you. (Extract from article recovered 16 Nov)But
he got the economy roaring ahead, stopped the mass emigration (Poland
now issues more work visas than any other EU state) started the welfare
state, kicked out all Moscow-trained military and diplomats, started
rearmament — Abrams and F35s are coming, doubling the army — brought in
large tax cuts, shut down the humungous Russian mafia fuel smuggling
that Prime Minister Donald Tusk supported ($25 billion for the Kremlin),

ZEMMOUR ON BREXIT AS APPLIED TO FRANCE
14 November 2021Frexit is not possible.Asked about the Macron administration’s apparent desire to “punish”
the UK over Brexit and, as his prime minister recently put it, to “show
there is more damage to leaving the Union than staying in it”, he was
scathing.
“That is the criminal mistake of the French government and European
Commission. The British, inventors of modern democracy, left because
they could no longer take being tyrannised...

STUDENT LOANS
University students are the very lifeblood of the UK economy. This
govt under johnson is splashing cash around to many millions of
worthless types, like there is no tomorrow, which there may well not be;
it is letting thousands more worthless types scramble up UK beaches
every week to join their friends in luxury hotel accomodation, at my
expense, while awaiting their passports.And you mean to tell me
the govt makes these kids...

END THIS EU INTERFERENCE
10 November 2021Look, you cannot have an outside entity imposing a customs border
down the middle of a sovereign state. Neither can you have an outside
entity assuming the powers of a supreme Court over a sovereign state.It
was agreed to to avoid a hard border between UK and EU and a potential
return of "the troubles" (those in the South of the island objecting to
those in the North remaining attached to Britain).Agreed to, but only...

BREXIT TRADE WARS
The key point is the threat of war. Not real war of course, but a trade war. So what would this look like?The
EU has previous as it triggered article 16 over its sense in January
that the UK was smuggling vaccine supplies out of its AZ factories in
Belgium. What shocked many of us was that the measures in the Brexit
protocol designed to protect peace in Northern Ireland were here being
repurposed in a completely different theatre of war.If (when) the
UK uses art. 16, it is very likely the EU will announce plans to
suspend the trade...

NEW TAPERING
120 billion dollars a month on asset purchases. Hard to get your head round that and how artificial the market has become. Maybe it's just Keynsian!It seems weird, but these govts think that debt is absolutely no problem, they will never default, and the markets know this, because they can print the repayments.They also think that what they print is owed to them (!), it is a call they have on us through taxation, that we have...

CARE IN THE HOME OR CARE IN A HOME?
3 November 2021In weighing up the two options, as well as the wishes of the elderly
person, consider the standard of care on offer, the stress on the family
and the costs.A few points worth making.The standards in
care homes are high these days, thanks to the CQC. And the owners of
care homes are not ripping off their guests, though they are in
business.Care at home can easily come to be twice as expensive as care in a home - £8k a month v....
