Sound as a Pound

Some days I think the markets are just ignoring the situation in the UK because they are waiting until the nuLieBore government has gone in a year’s time. If they believed there was any prospect of them continuing in power then all hell would be happening. S&P would have downgraded the UK ages ago.

I agree on this.

The markets are treading water and waiting to see what the next government do.

I have read several press articles in recent weeks where Labour losing the next General Election has been taken for granted. Private Eye has been like that for a few months now and have the best political radar IMO.

I see that the BoE made a mistake on some 20p coins and they are now worth 50 quid.

Surely the solution to all our debt problems is obvious? the BoE only has to print a billion pounds worth of notes with errors on them and it will instantly be worth £250 bn, enough to pay off the national debt.

Brialliant Xoggoth.

You ought to be the next Chancellor.

The other financial 'stimulus' would be to issue each adult with a high qauality copier which can reproduce passable EuroNotes thereby allowing every British citizen to have unlimited spending binges in the European location of their chosing.

I think the above would be a vote winner.
