Economies

Just been watching predictions for economies. Italy is starting to allow some shops to open, they are predicted to take a massive hit to their economy growth of 9%. China's growth down to +1.5%. Then at the end the UK is forcasting a 35% contraction. Are the predictions credible.

You mention Macron. Just heard he is giving all frontline care workers a €1500 bonus. Our care minister votes against nurses having more than 1% rise in 2017. And then laughs when Piers Morgan asks if 4000 careworkers have died. What a different attitude.

Yes, - the 'Care Minister' was also interviewed on the BBC and was quite scathing about the use of PPE in care homes. She said that workers do not need to wear full PPE all the time - I think a lot of people would beg to differ. What is it with these morons? Take a leaf out of Macron's book and admit where they got it wrong, once you know that perhaps you can start to put it right - we live in hope!

We need them that is the situation. Can you imagine our goverment standing up to China? When Piers Morgan asked the care minister this morning did 4000 die in care homes she laughed. Then she said how she supported our nurses but Piers pointed out that she had voted against giving them more than 1% in 2017. So ask yourself can you see them standing up to Cina?

Time for China to be made to pay for the death and destruction it has caused the world . Through their lies and deceit they have destroyed the economy of the entire world.The death toll of the innocent is already tens of thousand but through poverty and the aftermath this will rise to millions.Its time to boycott all Chinese goods until they pay for what they have done.In the meantime we should tell Huawei to stick their 5G for a start. Then lets kick them out of the new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point

Remember it is a level playing field for almost every country on the planet.It will look truly awful on paper but thats statistics, and statistics can be massaged and presented in a raft of different ways.It will take a long time but Trump said one thing that was surprising from him." People and lives come before stocks and shares.We may end up experiencing true austerity which will be very different to the kind of austerity of the more recent kind.
