Likes fairness, patience, generosity. Dislikes rudeness, arrogance, lying. Human, so probably all of the above at times.

I would love to avoid getting party political. But this is so obscene and immoral that it would be wrong to hold back. Please do not ever vote for anyone in any party who even stayed quiet about the awfulness of these tax cuts for the rich at this time bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politiโ€ฆ

Posted for no other reason than it cheers me up and in the hope it cheers you too, because God knows we need cheering right now.
I remember watching the live broadcast from Shakespeare's Globe - and blokes talking about it in the pub the following night.

Golly.
Markets are now pricing in 5.5% interest rates from the Bank of England next year.
Up from 4.75% yesterday.
Deutsche Bank saying BoE may need to table an emergency rate hike as soon as next week.
Extraordinary.
And, as I said yday, higher rates are a big, big deal.
Ugh.

Today, the Tories handed a 25% tax cut to the richest 628,000 paid in the UK.

Every picture tells a story. This one's about the pound falling off a cliff between breakfast and teatime.

Investors are shorting the pound, which means they bet on it falling in value. It can create a vicious - even catastrophic - circle.
Essentially, they are behaving like bent bookies at a race track, hoping Britain comes in last.
Will this be ?

Kwarteng has already started calling commentary on the value of the pound 'talking down Britain'. A reliable indicator of a politician in serious trouble.

Today the Tories under Truss and Kwarteng produced a bankersโ€™ budget for the richest 1%. Past engineered economic booms like this have created chaos & eventually led to the fall of Conservative governments.
