Moody's analysis for the economy is cautious

Moody's are right to warn that the UK's AAA rating is at some risk of being downgraded in the next 18 months. Before I state Moody’s reasoning behind this decision, it is interesting to review the reactions heard in the media following the announcement.
The Government's opposition has...

Why the economy will be rough for a while longer

It's time to identify the costs that Britain would incur if the UK suddenly failed to tackle its debt problem the way it has been doing. If we adopted the approach taken in the eurozone or followed the strategy that has frequently been advocated by the opposition and thereby lost the trust of the...

We're on Course - if the Eurozone gets resolved

The economic problems facing Britain today are unique. There is no precedent to follow. However, every country affected is putting its own interests first - as might be expected. We cannot rely on China, for example, changing its strategy - China can manage in isolation if necessary, it has every...

Managing our Economy NOW

Anyone taking a real interest in the economic situation in the UK, in Europe and across the world will realise that the first priority of our Government is to do everything it can to prevent us sliding into a further recession. If it fails, then the fallout will highlight the fact that there is no...

The Cost of the Riots etc.

The cost of the looting, murdering and the general criminality that has taken place so far - amounts to over £100 million.
Every penny of that will come, either directly or indirectly, from the pockets of all of us – whether that is from taxation, the price of goods and services...

What follows the USA debt crisis now?

We are almost there! The Leaders of both houses of Congress in the USA have reached an agreement over an increase in the debt limit. It still has to go through the process of winning the majority of votes in both assemblies of course - but I would not expect that to fail in the final round of...

Good Economic News for Everyone

It might have escaped the notice of a lot of people that the UK’s financial industry has recently reaped record dividends from their investments made across the world this year. This is wonderful news! It immediately sends out a signal that we have another strong sign that better times are...

Helping the UK recovery

We should all take note of the recent reports of the nine banks in the EU that have failed the "stress test". In plain English that means that they are short of sufficient funds according to the financial tests. It has produced considerable alarm amongst analysts as it threatens the...

Sensible approach to regeneration is needed

It is easy to understand the intentions of those who press our council to give up income or commit taxpayers money to expensive schemes. It sounds impressive, but it is exactly the attitude that has put the UK into so much debt - a massive debt that is now generally agreed will take at least 32...

Toxins threaten us all

The British Medical Research Council, in conjunction with the leading figures in the scientific community of the day, contributed significantly to a report published in 1951 which strongly recommended that all containers of a group of nerve agents be marked “Deadly Poison”. Part of the...

Pay and Grading Truth

The current Pay & Grading Review is an event carried out at appropriate intervals at the direction of our national Government. It cannot be ignored; maintaining the status quo is not an option. This time, the Review is being done giving full regard to a Trades Union Agreement signed about 20...
