    Poll: Potential General Election: who are you voting for?

    Just a few. The Labour party are far left extremist lunatics. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/sep/24/how-would-labour-plan-to-give-workers-10-stake-in-big-firms-work https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/may/16/how-does-labour-plan-to-pay-for-its-energy-nationalisation-policy...

    Poll: Potential General Election: who are you voting for?

    I still don't understand how anyone can vote Labour with Corbyn let alone 25% they must be mindless tribalists. The far left extremist policies such as seizing business, property and land would put us a disaster course econmically. The more moderate policies and politicians are good but the...

    WCML Pendolino refurbishment suggestions and predictions

    I think the shop will be replaced with some kind of in app order service, really this would be the logical thing to do.

    Thomas Cook Collapses

    The scummy banks should be paying out here. They are the one that refused to refinance or agree the buyout from Fosun. Next time these scumbags fail let them all go to the wall, no more bail outs. In fact we should immediately recall the state loan from RBS. The law should be change to...

    Party Conferences(silly season) promises so far on transport issues

    Scam Telephone Call Regarding Amazon Prime Membership

    I had a few calls allegedly from BT saying there is a problem with my Internet IP address and it will be cut off in 24 hrs. Idiots.

    Poll: Potential General Election: who are you voting for?

    The only real way to do this is to fund all the schools in the North and deprived areas more than the schools down south and in the suburbs, therefore all the rich will move to the North and deprived areas, society will be fixed. There I have just wrote my first Labour Policy best get on the...

    EU Referendum: The result and aftermath...

    Why on earth would we want a far left extremist terrorist sympathiser as caretaker? If there are a caretaker it should be a moderate on not that clueless cretin. Honestly the leaders of both parties should quit after the shambles at the labour conference yesterday. Over 50% of Labour voters and...

    Thomas Cook Collapses

    What payments have they already received in interest, fees and charges? Hazard a guess at quite significant amount over the years. I think Thomas Cook has a £600 million overdraft, imagine the charges on that! Most Business bank has high annual fees anyway. Insolvency is strangely hugely...

    Thomas Cook Collapses

    Because they wanted to renegotiate the deal to one less profitable for the banks, the banks wanted to milk as much as they could so were trying to get more in the hope someone would step in and underwrite the extra £200 million, they do this all the time. Business will borrow money if the banks...

    Thomas Cook Collapses

    I apologise for appearing angry but I do not have much time for banks or bankers. Obviously we will never know exactly what kind of dodgy tactics these bankers are up to. I very much doubt they are losing out significantly overall, when you think of the interest, charges and fees they have...

    Thomas Cook Collapses

    If Fosun had injected the capital required (they made a 1 billion profit last year), there is no reason it should fail. The business was profitable a few years ago, its only because it is saddled with unsustainable debt at unrealistic rates. They sold c £9billion of holidays last year. Now a...

    Thomas Cook Collapses

    Its worrying but there was a rescue deal in from Fosun on the table. RBS decided to block it because they would probably not make as much profit that way. At least these scumbags should be ok...
