      Volatile currency is never good for business - but great for dirty spekulants like that Moggy character who not just have insider knowledge but can move markets with policy influence

        Flipping' heck AtW. Seriously, do you have to be quite so obsessive in starting such masses and masses of new threads?

        Wouldn't it be easier to start your own news website?

          Austerity was not for "nothing". Many wealthy people and lending institutions got much wealthier. Property speculators were able to buy repossessed properties at a knockdown price. The wage bill of many companies was reduced and were subsidised by tax credits. It was a boon for fat-cat Tories.

          If you are a Tory that did not financially benefit then you will still be happy with austerity in the knowledge that you are a forelock tugging peasant to the gentry.

            Isn't Moggy's big dividend and IR35 voting a conflict of interest? IR35 wouldn't be needed if dividends were subject to NI.

                  If lots of people work from home, then why won’t businesses hire them abroad where employment taxation much lower?
