@Arkady.... I actually don't think this talk of "getting the right policy mix" means a lot. The real reason for the problems of 'austerity', for me are simple... the state said we will cover everybody in old age... and in health care... and inductio…

@ Arkady... got find the other one - my bad.. still, the bottom of the trend is 1990 http://www.primeeconomics.org/articles/1757

But the anti- Trump protesters are all for peace and love... yeah? (p.s. - with all this anti-Trump protesting, and the reasons, allegedly for it, do you not think there should be millions outside the Saudi Embassy... whose ass the UK governm…

Homogenous nations (like the Japanese) tend to be more productive because everyone is pulling in the same direction... that not advocacy (because I know I'll be called a racist now) - that's just social science. Its not just the 2008 crash (what …

@Arkady the problem is not that taxes on the uber wealthy would;t be bad... but historically that's not what happens... its only what's promised. Soon the 'wealthy" starts to be anyone with £100k in the bank and an annual salary of £40k+. The declin…

@Arkady wrong. .... those previous spikes represented wartime, when the country was highly agrarian, and also fairly homogenous socially. Not so now. try http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-kingdom/government-debt-to-gdp http://www.tr…

@krappyrubsnif ... "The basic, fundamental, core, upstream problem is that for the past 40 years most of the world has been run by capitalism. And capitalism is broken." when 33% of income is taxed... and the VAT is leveled at 27% AFTER that tax…
-
@PapaL ... well said. We are so soaked in debt we will never get out. debt in 2018-19 is now forecast to be around 89.7 per cent ... I would remind those who have not read Reinhart and Rogoff, that when you hit 90%, not a single nation has ever…

The City and Wall Street BOUGHT every politician left right and center since the 1990s, when that great liberal doyen Bill Clinton and his wife (who wrote the legislation) sold the country off lock stock and barrel through the repeal of Glass Steaga…

... it won't be Brexit that tanks the system... but 45 years of endless borrowing ad infinitum. We are at the end of the socialist experiment. It has spent itself into dis-existence. No one can actually tell me that this debt riddled land is EVER go…

there is enough treachery, hatred violence absurdity in the average human being to supply any given army on any given day and the best at murder are those who preach against it and the best at hate are those who preach love and the best at war…

@FabiBean ... a lot of them are. The left is rioting and burning and people are being attacked, violently, for different political opinions. People are also being attacked for being white... even when they are mentally disabled (I trust you;ve he…
-
@therattle ...is that why African Americans are attacking white people, for being white, in Chicago and elsewhere? It is happening. Is that why African Americans are dragging white people out of their cars yelling "he's a Trump supporter - get h…
-
@grenners - - agree completely. Unless we want the American version... Burn the cities down when democracy doesn't produce what you want... attack the white people, who are obviously responsible for everything, and generally start murdering and kil…

@krappyrubsnif "Kafka would have been in his element." indeed... the Council's job, remember, is to protect their pensions... that's it.

@fabruce "How many so called Hipsters have you met and spoken to? I am genuinely interested, as I do not understand how such a negative statement can be applied to them (assuming Hipsters do actually exist)." ... try the first google response…
-
.... yeah, but that's just popping a bubble 45 years in the making. Like the debt situation. And remaining in the EU won't change the economic fundamentals. Neither will leaving the EU. The fact is simply that the UK is in debt up to its eyeballs...…

@krappyrubsnif well, there you certainly have a point..

@stutent ...doesn't look like much of a price move to me... http://www.commoditycharts.com/charts/custom/KCH17/&page=chart&studies=Volume;&cancelstudy=&a=M ..once again.. the bloomberg articles parse the graph where it suits…

@fabruce What makes me think the 'hipster' era is coming to an end, is that the world of "political correctness" has imploded on its own inanity. Hipsterism is part of the bourgeois bohemian social milieu which is obsessed with virtue signalling…
-
Have to disagree there. At roughly 3p a cup to make, the price of coffee is a minor factor. Its all wages, rentals and rates and turnover. Although not really an equal comparison, its worth noting that very large franchises all realised the same thi…

maybe the 'hipster' era is finally drawing to a close. (thank god) ...or the property market is finally contracting. (thank god)

Yes Bamboo Spa... the service is in the name, I guess...

god, all you have to do is mention sex..and its on like Donkey Kong.... Anyway, I know a female who went looking for a proper massage... and they scowled at her pretty bad and they said "you go away"... "this not for you." Anyway, there's noth…

...maybe the property market has turned...completions are off 40% year on year... after sterling has been crushed. Is the market implosion finally with us? Well, its been more or less up for 50 years... ..all parties have to end some time.

straight up man. Sunday morning at 10 a.m. animated waving in, and rude gestures - - I guess when they knew they could go full on, as there was no one but me on the pavement. Its pretty lame.
-
speaking of enforcement... I was "Amsterdamed" yesterday by the woman at Thai Massage on Stroud Green across from Sainsbury's... I believe that type of aggressive, 'come on in baby' is soliciting. ... (just in case anyone is daft enough to go in the…

Hardly surprising. The Council is so far in the hole it needs to do something, anything to pay their extravagant ( 7% per annum adjusted in a zero % interest rate environment) pensions. You don't really think these people care about anyone other tha…

I have no idea on that aspect. It been the same premises for 25 years, same people.

Possibly the shop in Crouch End - 'Of Special Interest'... as she constructs her own for sale at Xmas time.
