Well quite. What I said earlier.

Have yet to see an explanation of this by Gibb or any other academy enthusiast.

Jeremy Corbyn's QE for the people is exactly what the world may soon need
The rich have made a killing off QE. Next time it should be injected directly into the veins of the real economy

,,, Perhaps if more houses were to be built, funded say, by bonds issued by a national investment bank...

Therein lies one of the problems, Robert, since bank deregulation houses are no longer homes but financial instruments and the assets of financial institutions. No wonder they won't allow massive, let's call it production to meet demand, or allow the state to accommodate its citizens, the cash value of their assets is paramount. 'And those lucky enough to have some hold shall do anything to continue their grasp plus the paid up are sitting pretty.

I can appreciate the general argument for governance by the market, but protection of assets can ind indeed often does skew the rules of the game against the need of the people. I am no commie but have socialist principles, protectionism is not equality of opportunity. Neither am I a banker or economist so may confuse the terminology, simply not my field, nevertheless I think I make my point. No doubt bankers and economists shall be queuing up to show up my wrongheadedness, so bloody what say I, money should be the facilitator for human need and endeavour, not the other way around... plus I have no truck for greedy fuckers unless it be get rid.

Oops, pardon my language again. It's an expression of the anger I feel.

Liz Truss.



The only response.

Quite so, rr2, I turned over for Question Time and discovered the Liz Truss Show. I later found there were other guests too but even then, 'Here she goes again.' I couldn't watch so had to turn off.

I do not think it chauvinist to say, 'Silly woman', for that is exactly what she is. Perhaps if she spent more time listening and seeking wider sources then she may actually have something to say.

Postscript: only response? It seems I tried my darnedest for another after all

The sub-heading perhaps says what it was that I pertained to just now, the real economy puts society before cash value and the greed of the few. Finance should be a tool and facilitator and not the inherent purpose itself.
