Independence Day, My Arse!



The financial markets don't seem to be taken in by this 'taking back control' malarkey which was, of course, the favourite slogan of the Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and the rest of their chums in the Leave campaign.

 Independence Day, my arse.
  



A Good Buy? (26/06/16)

I've been watching the TV news programmes all day which are firmly focused on the fall-out from the great EU referendum.

Tony Blair had the best analysis if you ask me, with his analogy about someone buying a new home without even visiting, never mind living in the property, before parting with their heard-earned cash.

Now the buyer (in Tony Blair's hypothetical example) had been advised by two very different and competing estate agents.

One who claimed the purchaser was getting their ideal, dream home - while the other argued that the property was a real dump and would cost a small fortune to make habitable.

So while Tony Blair was all for respecting the result of the referendum, he was also making the point that, so far at least, we have precious little to show for our money.

Beyond the resignation of David Cameron and the prospect of an even more right wing Conservative Government in a few months time. 


Deep Doo Doo Day (23/06/16)



Peter Brookes has a great cartoon in The Times today which warns that if 'Bonkers Boris' and his Leave chums were to get their way, the country would be heading for Deep Doo Doo Day.

So never mind Bojo's nonsense about 'independence day' - get out and vote and don't let these Euro nutters get their way.

Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn't... P
