The US Election

[Lateralthinking1]

Can you spot which one of the little people is the future President?

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

...never mind the election the coverage on tv was truly dreadful .... any member of the Dimblbubbies is now banned in the jazbo living room the two commercials were dire ... went to bed taking heart from the numerologists predictions of over 300 electoral college votes for Mr President

All I can remember about past elections here is when the Liberals, as they were then, won Orpington and their leader said 'Go home and prepare for government'. Still waiting!

Do you think that it might be possible, just for once, to have a thread without you chipping in with your old hobby-horse? It is tediously boring.

Teamsaint on the button as usual.

No, but several of them probably already appear together as a singing act (pity Andy Williams has gone, though).

Well they are not actually running the country now are they?

But it's not just a hobby horse is it? Do you not think that relationships between banks , central banks and politicians are at the core of our politics now?
If you don't, well the nutters at the loony left guardian do.(OK the author is an American with a load of experience close to the heart of American finance and government, but even so, perhaps he knows something !

In the US

the Fed plans to buy back $40BN thats FORTY BILLION dollars worth of Mortgage backed securities each MONTH. Thats is a $40 BN bail out every month, on top of the many many hundreds of billions, they have alreay pumped in.Just imagine if that money, tax payers money was spent on the real needs of the people.

I expect there is a chapter on this in one of Winnie's books.

....and how much licence-fee money has been spent on BBC staff swanning off over the pond - did we really need to have Huw Edwards visiting his Welsh relatives or Dimblebys there at all? Isn't it time the Ds were pensioned off - after all if they'd been female they'd have been retired 20 years ago!

They think they are, poor fools.

And they're still at it, even after the election, with analysis of what it means to USA citizens doemstically. Who cares? Yes, the USA president does have some impact internationally, but why not stick to that, & cover it from the UK?


And it will start again in two years time

So what's new? There has always been a relationship between these three. And between them and business ..large and small. I would have thought that that was obvious.


We all know that you loath the banks. That is what I meant by your hobby-horse. I'd be surprised if I didn't find you going on about the nasty banks in The Refreshment Room! I'm not saying that you're not entitled to your opinion. Just that it's getting a tad worrying and bordering on the obsessional.

I guess you would say that RM
as you seem to be their greatest fan
and by the way
Have you ever sold anything at a car boot sale ?

Instead of dishing out the insults, why don't you read posts, read links, consider the content...too much like hard work?
