So the Government wants to spend our money to upgrade the phone and data network across the UK, to enable faster broadband access to the Internet.

Sodje
Posted on 2:02pm Thursday 18th June 2009
I can’t help but feel sorry for the staff and management at York City Football Club on reading about the departure of Onome Sodje. YCFC seem to have done everything to support and help him in his fight to stay in the UK to play football. This effort was not without cost to a club that is always short of funds. However, with the help of Archbishop Sentamu and York MP Hugh Bailey, the appeal was ultimately successful and Onome has been allowed to stay and work in the UK. Just not at York!

Back to Willy-nilly Money?
Posted on 10:59am Friday 13th March 2009
Staggering to see the money supply being increased manually, because the attempts to make credit available haven’t worked so far. I seem to remember when analysts were wailing about the money supply being out of government control because credit was so available the money supply was growing willy-nilly. How times change!

Is it Service?
Posted on 1:44pm Tuesday 3rd March 2009
I’m a late convert to busses having always driven everywhere since I passed my test aged 17. I recently worked in the centre of York and the only way to get there at a sensible cost was by bus.

Am I alone in thinking that politicians of all flavours still seem to be missing something about the economy?

Breakfast is Waiting

Amazing to see Alastair Darling advising how his idea (I’m sure they have a listening device hidden in my house because I suggested it) of taking shares in the banks will pay off in the long run when they are sold off. Why didn’t he do that in the first place with Northern Rock? Instead we saw Northern Rock destroyed as a bank and the shareholding of millions of small investors reduced to a few Pence, literally Pence! So not much incentive for small investors to return to investing in the market when things improve is there? Banks appeared to be the one thing that people could “safely” invest in, so I predict a shortage of investment for some years to come. Alastair’s investment of our tax Billions is likely to remain invested for a long time to come, or until our shares are sold to some foreign investor. What will be the last thing we sell to foreign owners, only to wonder why the jobs and the profits go abroad?

It's Not Too Late Darling

When Chancellor Darling stabbed the average working family in the back yet again by introducing more taxes on them and their older larger cars. Did he think what the final outcome might be on two car families?

It’s exciting isn’t it, to think that the world may end when scientists start experimenting with particle acceleration! NO IT ISN’T, IT IS SCARY!!!

Looks like other departments have decided they can’t wait any longer for the sadly ineffective Chancellor to do something!
