THE GREAT BIG FAT GREEK THREAD
Andy D replied to interestrateripoff's topic in House prices and the economy
This is an interesting read from someone inside the negotiations on the Greek side (so obviously comes with a bias) http://www.mediapart.fr/en/journal/international/080715/we-underestimated-their-power-greek-government-insider-lifts-lid-five-months-humiliation-and-blackm?onglet=full Shows how unfit for purpose the EU is… -
Miliband To Abolish Non-Dom Status
Andy D replied to thecrashingisles's topic in House prices and the economy
Don't agree with Lords and all that other titled crap, but I'd argue anyone who's non-dom shouldn't be able to hold a title or position in politics. And if you were born in the UK you should be able to hold non-dom status either. -

Liquidators Appointed To Blackpool Airport
Andy D replied to Sancho Panza's topic in House prices and the economy
I'm surprised it's kept going this long given both Manchester and Liverpool airports are around 60 miles away -
85% Of Uk Manafacturing Say "stay In Eu"
Andy D replied to campervanman's topic in House prices and the economy
The EU referendum is a trap - if we vote to stay in the EU then the pro-integrationists will treat it as an OK for further integration - if we vote to go out then our economy is going to suffer as less people will want to trade with us over time I'm broadly in favour of an EU that's a free trade area with free movement of goods and people, but without all the political United States of EU that comes with it, and don't like the likely outcomes of either a yes or no vote -
Kinky Knickers Goes Into Administration
Andy D replied to R K's topic in House prices and the economy
The Mrs has a pair and I doubt she be buying another pair as they're not the greatest knickers in the world - think they're trying to charge a premium over normal knickers but not delivering the quality / style of the more expensive ones e.g. Marie Jo at 26 quid a pop -
Barclays Online Banking - Security Certificate
Andy D replied to Bruce Banner's topic in House prices and the economy
The certificate the site is serving appears to be OK (https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=ibank.barclays.co.uk) Of course this may not be the certificate you're getting - may have been a config issue first thing, or someone trying to 'Man In The Middle You' i.e. impersonate ibank...

Middle-Class Young 'will Fare Worse Than Their Parents'
Andy D replied to Snugglybear's topic in House prices and the economy
Yes but I'd argue the neo-liberals aren't really 'small staters', they just want to use government spending to syphon other peoples tax money into their businesses - arms companies, oil producers, agri-businesses etc. The US defence budget is bigger than the next biggest 10 spenders combined, if they need to reduce government spending surely there's one place to start. -
