Talking of economists.....last night I met one at an industry dinner 17:28 - Nov 27 with 2335 viewshampstead_blue

Can't name him as it wasn't an on the record quote, but his personal opinion and I don't think he'd appreciate me naming him.

But......We all know him and he's very bright. I've no idea as to his politics.

His take on Labour's spending?
Excessive and unsustainable. Will put a huge strain on the economy and will unlikely lead to the growth Labour want.
Would probably lead to wage inflation when the Unions start to get to work.

Just sayin.

Assumption is to make an ass out of you and me. Those who assume they know you, when they don't are just guessing. Those who assume and insist they know are daft and in denial. Those who assume, insist, and deny the truth are plain stupid. Those who assume, insist, deny the truth and tell YOU they know you (when they don't) have an IQ in the range of 35-49.

I spoke to TWO economists earlier today who reckoned Labour's plans would bring us into line with France and Germany, and help stimulate the economy.

Why are Unions only associated with Labour all the time?

This past few days alone there have been walk outs in universities and railways as unions have chosen to strike.

It's absurd stereotyping.

Funnily enough, I met leading psychologist down the White Horse in Sudbury and HE said that people that make up intentionally vague anecdotes intended to bolster their stated views are the sort of people who touch dogs' willies for a hobby.

Just sayin'.

Never thought that I would quote Jacob Rees Mogg, but he said recently, "If you ask an economist anything, you get the answer you want."

I'm surprised that a keen Brexiteer such as Hammers would be so keen to listen to an expert in the first place.

The problem is I'd really feel uncomfortable naming him. I guess it does rather hollow out the conversation.....hey ho.

If you had managed to get another economist in the room, then you would have had three opinions and a slightly less dull anecdote.

My hangover is still raging.
A bright start to the day was that we stayed at Hyde Park Barracks, the Household Cavalry.

The room overlooked the square where the horses mount.
We go to see the pre-guard inspection and teh Duty Officer and SNCO saluting them as they rode out to mount the guard.

Very cool and a great way to start a hang-over.
