Re: Thursday 10th September 2026
Morning !
The Jamie Dimon Show is still running ! Does anyone not know that banks are sacred and should not be taxed even a tiny bit more, and if the govt do so he won't invest in UK and he, Jamie, will not build the next monument to himself in London (following NY), -viz a £3BN giant HQ tower .
Following the mighty success of Brexit the UK is ALREADY short of skilled workers to build much-needed council housing ...

""" In all its long history before 2006, the Bank of England never paid commercial banks anything on reserves. """

I haven't verified that, but £24BN is a useful amount, non ?

Re: Thursday 10th September 2026
I remember sitting next to the Portsmouth lifeboat house on a sunny afternoon watching little spiders hunting sandflies amongst the collection of sharp rocks and pebbles they call a beach down there. The lifeboat crews were out practising moving a dummy on a stretcher from a little rib boat to a bigger one. It was about as idyllic as Portsmouth can get (not very).
I confess it never occurred to me at the time to think, "You know what this place needs? Idiots in balaclavas!"
I should also add that during that same trip while watching the local news I saw a woman from Portsmouth university interviewed who'd been testing the water quality around the island (yes Portsmouth is on an island). She had about 3 layers of protective clothing on and when asked if she would enter the water without them she said absolutely not before going on to list the various bacterial strains present around the sewage outlet pipes.
Which may go some way to explaining why so many of said idiots appeared to be retching and vomiting after jumping in the sea during their failed attempt to get to the migrant boat, their moronic leader included.
