Good stuff. I voted all my life Labour until the last two elections. Make of that what you will. Corbyn is a walking electoral disaster - end of.

They will fudge something. That's my prediction. It won't be a 'clean' Brexit but it will be a Brexit of sorts. No I don't think we'll be in a permanent customs union - we'll be out of the single market and able to strike trade deals - and out from the ECJ (eventually) - and of course no free...

We know it was a genuine remark. Stay calm. All is well.

Ah come on OG. He was trying to be nice. You can afford to be a tad more generous in your response.

When in a hole stop digging comes to mind.

Anybody watch Andrew Neil take apart Ken Livingstone on 'the week' last night? If you thought James Dellinpole got destroyed last week on that show - Livingstone I think managed to top even that. His defence of Venezuela quite appalling - and he paid the price.

For general info:

Right. What you said was perfectly clear to me.

Innocent of all charges. Never been bankrupt. Always paid my creditors. Main 'colateral damage' was having to work three jobs for a while to get back to some kind of financial stability.

Not too hot on Carbon Credits but Tim W has a few ideas here: http://www.timworstall.com/2008/08/16/well-that-settles-that-then/

No. That sucks. For the greater good means fcku all when its you in the firing line. But then I've gone out of business so many times and picked myself up and started over..... it can be done - you just have to dig deep. Or not. Sometimes people sink. I've seen friends sink - horrible to...

Rubbish. Capitalism has not failed. Sheesh. What has failed is socialism. Look around you at all the countries where their economy is on the floor - its either run by religious zealots - or socialists.

Right. I had a card with them too. They were forever upping my limit. Which was fine because like you I was taking it and putting it into interest bearing accounts. Hey - if a big US bank wants to come over here flashing their cash (as in MBNA - not sure who owned egg) - then I'll take them...

Biochemistry. Then I went out into the big bad wide world and learned about........ money.

Right now Santander are offering 27 month balance transfers - with NO finance charge. As in: free money for 27 months (mind you they only offered me a £4000 limit but heck I took it anyway). I remember back in the 90s when MBNA offered the same deal - except it was for 3 years. At the time...

Rubbish. You are arguing for the corn laws. You're arguing that the market does not discover true value. It does.

Self-interest. That is what has made this the most wealthy time EVER in history. You can call it greed - I call it self-interest. We all want to make a profit - to get as much money for as little effort - but to do it in a sustainable way. Look how far we have come in just the last 50 years...

Yes - BUT - since the 1970s we have become almost unmeasurably more wealthy! Partly because of the greater availability of credit. Really.

Sure. Well that's your opinion and I have mine. And in this country the way we get to determine who has their way - is to vote. Them's is the breaks. I'm on your side OG. It may not look like it but I am. I hate all the corruption and the crap that counts for government.

Yes you're right - credit can be abused like pretty much anything else. I meant no dis-respect. Apologies if it came over like that.
