Surely not you cynical so and so ;-) Gayle getting out so early has probably buggered up their timeline, so they need a correction to tempt in the punters...
The world has gone mad. Transpose this a few years back.
Lord Rothermere's ex wife is now dating Stalin. Meanwhile Rothermere has remarried, his new spouse is the ex wife of George Formby. Churchill refuses to comment.
While the record high current account deficit is getting deserved attention this should also:
' The households and non-profit institutions serving households saving ratio was estimated to be 3.8% in Quarter 4 2015 compared with 4.8% in Quarter 3 2015. In 2015, the saving ratio was estimated to be 4.2%. The quarterly and annual savings ratios are the lowest since records began in 1963. '

' Between Quarter 4 2014 and Quarter 4 2015, GDP per head increased by 1.3%, revised up 0.1 percentage points from the previously published estimate '
High current account deficits and low savings rates are associated with peaks of the economic cycle. The UK now has a record high current account deficit and a record low savings rate with GDP per head growing way below the long term trend.
You don't feel increasing the population by the size of a major city like Cardiff, each year, every year might have some effect on housing supply/demand then? Not to mention Health, education, transport.
Of course. But the natural response to increased demand is increased supply. In the UK we don't seem to have that option. 93% of the UK is still fields or wilderness. We are 'full' - but not really. The space available to build is full. A massive planning liberalisation (it's your land - do WTF you want with it) would make the supply / demand imbalance evaporate PDQ.
I suspect I’m about the only resident in ther small town where I live (other than someone who is trying to sell a derelict garden centre) who isn’t busy signing petitions agains any more houses being built here.
It's easy to understand why people are so reluctant to see every square inch of their neighbourhood built over to house the millions here as a result of uncontrolled immigration. And further enrich greedy property developers at the same time.
Greedy property developers. Who built your house. And the place you work. And the place you shop. Who shouldn't be allowed to make a profit, unlike every other business out there.

The Brits have always been poor savers. Ozzie has tried to make saving attractive. High VAT rates theoretically tend to discourage consumption but the Brits will put it on the card.

Quite a few developers are taking the piss. And Osborne's helping them along with some of his wizard wheezes.
I couldn't give two hoots about farmland remaining as such. If people want to keep their farmland as farmland then great, nobody should say otherwise.
However if someone wants to build on their land or sell their land to a developer why shouldn't they be allowed to? It's their land. Good luck to them.
At the same time once we've left the EU we should abolish agricultural subsidies and the CAP and not replace it with anything. If the farmland is productive then great, if it's not it should get the same level of support as other failed businesses.
Farmland with planning permission is worth a lot more than farmland without. Are you in favour of unplanned housing development? What about roads, schools etc etc?
Breaking news - Government passes 1947 Town Planning Act.

How about PM's wife has secret affair with Tory Lord who is bisexual and has an East End Gangster organise gay orgies for him? It happened under MacMillan.

Ideally not in a poorly built box, where the living space has been ever reduced in the relentless pursuit of profit.

I believe 1.4% is available in an instant access ISA from Coventry if I remember correctly. I will be parking most of next year's ISA allowance in an instant access ISA as I don't see much value in equities at present.

Osborne has just cut premium bond rates and other NS+I products. How does that make savings attractive?
Osborne-sceptics might suggest this is yet another change showing Osborne has no understanding of Conservative supporters (or even people in general) less sophisticated than his own circle and who are more likely to use NS&I products than to have a stockbroker at the end of a phone.

It'll be due to mobile optimisation. Everyone is moving toward one mobile optimised site instead of a desktop site and a mobile app. It has several benefits, but if not done well, it makes the desktop sized version look crap.

Actually Richard I usually enjoy your posts, sometimes they're funny ( most excellent chancellor ) and sometimes they're thought provoking. However at present due to the EUref we're simply in a pointless slanging match. Nobody is really going to change their mind and even if everyone on PB did, it would be meaningless in the scale of things.
There are simply no winning arguments on either side, lots of total stupidity and the only arguments people can advance are personal invective.
Comments like mad, out of their senses and I know best just invite retaliation. It reminds me of Northern Ireland politics. Youre ian Paisley Junior by the way :-)

People ridicule the opinions and actions of the 'other side' not their 'own side'.
Neutrals ridicule the ridiculous.
That happens in the EU debate as it happened in the Scottish independence debate and as it constantly happens in normal Con/Lab politics.
If you think there is more ridicule being aimed at the Remain side on PB that might be because of a combination of:
1) There are more Leavers on PB 2) The Leavers are more committed 3) The Remain side is making more ridiculous pronouncements
I'm not saying that any of those are necessarily true, they are more of a matter of opinion.
In a similar way a few months ago there was constant ridicule of Corbyn and Labour on PB.
And in the wider world the same sort of ridicule is aimed at celebs, sports stars etc

But that is the problem: the web designers have not clearly worked hard, or the links would work. There is no urgency here. No real deadline. If they needed another day or week or month to complete testing, why not take it? At a guess, because someone in management circled the date on a calendar.

So the PL and SPL couldn't import loads of foreign players and would have to develop their own.
Mightn't that lead to better performing national teams ?
Reason 967 who no one sane would want to be an elected politician. No wonder we find that so many of them are nutters! To want to put yourself up for something like this is positively weird.
These stories are just getting more and more ridiculous. I am waiting for stories of Brexit will mean that availability of Chorizo and Olives will be severely affected.
There's no need for lower league football to be importing players, so League Two and the Scottish Premier League could be impacted.
Reason 967 who no one sane would want to be an elected politician. No wonder we find that so many of them are nutters! To want to put yourself up for something like this is positively weird.
The way the government has allowed the left to shift the blame on steel speaks volumes about the weak nature of team Cameron.
Caroline Lucas is angling for recall of parliament. That's Caroline Lucas, whose policies would have destroyed the British Steel industry far more quickly than it is being destroyed.

It's all nonsense.
Various Remainians have suggested on this very site, that Brexit will have no effect on immigration, and the UK won't be able to control it's borders. They can't have it both ways.

I think I heard on the radio that not a single one of the EU players playing in Scotland (more than 50) would meet the international criteria for a work permit for non EU countries. Which tells you everything you need to know about the sad state of the Scottish game really.

Well the call is to spend huge amounts of public money, not to do any good but to feel better about yourself. Lefties are good at that.
The stat linked to earlier today says it all. Wage cost of 1 tonne of steel in the UK $200. Wage cost in China $10. You really can't fix that with a bit of slightly cheaper energy.

LOL! I've never quite thought of myself as a dour Presbyterian!
You don't feel increasing the population by the size of a major city like Cardiff, each year, every year might have some effect on housing supply/demand then? Not to mention Health, education, transport.
Of course. But the natural response to increased demand is increased supply. In the UK we don't seem to have that option. 93% of the UK is still fields or wilderness. We are 'full' - but not really. The space available to build is full. A massive planning liberalisation (it's your land - do WTF you want with it) would make the supply / demand imbalance evaporate PDQ.
I suspect I’m about the only resident in ther small town where I live (other than someone who is trying to sell a derelict garden centre) who isn’t busy signing petitions agains any more houses being built here.
It's easy to understand why people are so reluctant to see every square inch of their neighbourhood built over to house the millions here as a result of uncontrolled immigration. And further enrich greedy property developers at the same time.
Except it's not every square inch nor is it millions in a neighborhood. Other than both remarks being wrong you might have a point somewhere.
Surprised you haven't come up with a "1 in every 1000" sq.in. formula.

Won't stop them trying though.
Give it a few days, and Cameron will be making 'impressive' claims about refugee footballers camped out in Kent.

Hmmm
cameron's weakness in this is if he thinks overtaxing energy for business is bad, then why hasn't he changed it ?
The six oclock news on BBC says we should be concerned that brexit might cause problems for the English and Scottish premier league clubs. That clinches it then. What utter drivel.
So the PL and SPL couldn't import loads of foreign players and would have to develop their own.
Mightn't that lead to better performing national teams ?
My thoughts exactly Alan . As with Spurs at the moment more English and Scottish players might get a chance to play in the first team.

It was Joerg Loews main criticism of England that they lack enough talent in depth.
And yes I know about last week, but that's just building up the hope we'll all have dashed at the world cup.

maybe we can now brand Tony a security risk and have him locked up.
Lord Rothermere's ex wife is now dating Stalin. Meanwhile Rothermere has remarried, his new spouse is the ex wife of George Formby. Churchill refuses to comment.
' The households and non-profit institutions serving households saving ratio was estimated to be 3.8% in Quarter 4 2015 compared with 4.8% in Quarter 3 2015. In 2015, the saving ratio was estimated to be 4.2%. The quarterly and annual savings ratios are the lowest since records began in 1963. '

Remember what Osborne promised in his 2010 Budget:
" Our policy is to raise from the ruins of an economy built on debt a new, balanced economy where we save, invest and export "

' Between Quarter 4 2014 and Quarter 4 2015, GDP per head increased by 1.3%, revised up 0.1 percentage points from the previously published estimate '
High current account deficits and low savings rates are associated with peaks of the economic cycle. The UK now has a record high current account deficit and a record low savings rate with GDP per head growing way below the long term trend.
Laughable.
Quite a few developers are taking the piss. And Osborne's helping them along with some of his wizard wheezes.

Osborne-sceptics might suggest this is yet another change showing Osborne has no understanding of Conservative supporters (or even people in general) less sophisticated than his own circle and who are more likely to use NS&I products than to have a stockbroker at the end of a phone.

If you want to ridicule anyone then do say but don't crybaby abut others doing it.
I actually think it's quite an interesting question. It might just be the lop-sided nature of the posters here, but perhaps it's an indicator of intellectual insecurity on the Leave side? Dunno.
But Cameron and co have had plenty of time to do something about the 'green crap.
There are simply no winning arguments on either side, lots of total stupidity and the only arguments people can advance are personal invective.
Comments like mad, out of their senses and I know best just invite retaliation. It reminds me of Northern Ireland politics. Youre ian Paisley Junior by the way :-)
People ridicule the opinions and actions of the 'other side' not their 'own side'.
Neutrals ridicule the ridiculous.
That happens in the EU debate as it happened in the Scottish independence debate and as it constantly happens in normal Con/Lab politics.
If you think there is more ridicule being aimed at the Remain side on PB that might be because of a combination of:
1) There are more Leavers on PB
2) The Leavers are more committed
3) The Remain side is making more ridiculous pronouncements
I'm not saying that any of those are necessarily true, they are more of a matter of opinion.
In a similar way a few months ago there was constant ridicule of Corbyn and Labour on PB.
And in the wider world the same sort of ridicule is aimed at celebs, sports stars etc
