Guided Missile

Actually, Gavyn Davies is some sort of fund manager, whose funds fail to keep pace with inflation or even the types of return you'd get from holding premium bonds. He is not British and has a dislike for "Tories" and privately educated "toffs". This is reflected in the fact that he is arrogant and rude to people he doesn't know, on a football forum. It was imbibed in him from an early age as he was bullied at the first school he attended, a third rate grammar school in Southampton whose most famous alumni was Benny Hill. Still our Gavyn worked his African socks off, despite being bullied by most of his classmates and gained good grades at "A" level which allowed him entry into Oxbridge. Unfortunately for him, the bullying didn't stop, as most Oxbridge undergraduates were public school and he was grammar school. He thought that he didn't have many friends apart from other misfits, because of this fact, but it is apparent that he hasn't got many friends because he is arrogant and rude. The class struggle didn't stop there for our Rhodesian immigrant, because his job at Goldman Sachs exposed him to traders who were either toffs or barrow boys. Neither of these types particularly like to be lectured by an arrogant grammar school lad on macroeconomics, when they were making the bulk of the profits and despite calling him pal, he really wasn't. Still after years of brown-nosing he made partner and that was when he hit the jackpot. The "big-bang" deregulation introduced by the Thatcher government meant that partners at Goldman Sachs, like our mate Gavyn, made out like bandits when Goldman joined the Stock Market. Made out like a £150 million pound bandit. Still, I say good luck to him, but you'd expect an immigrant grammar school boy like him to show a sliver of gratitude to Thatcherism and her commitment to deregulation. Not a bit of it. Our hero advised the Treasury to join the ERM. We all know how that ended up. However, armed with a shed load of moolah and the chance to gain his revenge on those privately educated toffs who called him "pal", but secretly hated him, he continued his brown nosing with, er, Brown. We all remember Brown. He was the socialist genius who sold all our gold at a discount and hated working class "bigots", like Gillian Duffy. Our hero was quickly employed as an adviser to Brown. He was rewarded by being made chairman of the BBC, a stint which was quickly ended when David Kelly slashed his wrist, although there was far more bloodshed in Blair's misguided support for the invasion of Iraq. I must admit, you'd think that with his track record, shurlock/Gavyn would be a bit more humble, but not a bit of it. The arrogance and rudeness goes to the bone and there is no wonder he comes on here for his social interaction. If he was in a pub 99% of people would either walk away, bored to tears, or give him a slapping...

Game, Set & Match to Boris He played a blinder...

Envious? Net worth of $1-5m? A gay divorcee? Yeah, I'm green with envy. Back on ignore for you, pal. You've been placed in the loon category, permanently...

Gavyn, you know nothing about my background, so STFU, pal. Like I said, much like you, a total loon, but unlike you, at least he's a British loon...

I doubt that, Gavyn. A Lib Dem local councillor from Oxford and third rate journo, who, apart from a local election along time ago, has never stood for, or been elected to, a political post in 30 years? Has a net worth, according to this website, of between $1-5M. A total loon...

Reality Check:

Morning, campers. The good news keeps coming. I hope Gavyn Davies is following my insightful analysis of the macroeconomic prospects for the UK, post Brexit. His former employer, Goldman apparently agrees with me, while his funds continue to underwhelm: General election result could see pound rally to pre-referendum level of $1.45

Meanwhile, back to the point of the original post and the whole point of Brexit: God Bless America (and Britain), the Land(s) of the Free

Final update: Boris played a blinder.

BORIS PLAYS A BLINDER

So, 40 minutes after the polls open and the pound shoots up in value. No doubt the traders have a sniff of the exit polls...

I forgot to add the headline: Pound hits 31-month high as polling points to Tory victory

Morning campers: Boris continues, yet again, to play a blinder and the City agrees...

Chickens coming home to roost: The UK? Jumping into the lifeboats with Boris at the helm.

Apart from our Jewish friends, who buy a ticket and get thrown off at the first stop...

Legendary fast bowler. Can't believe it....

I guess you're referring to Dr. David Kelly's widow...

Here's a funny story from "Money and Power: How Goldman Sachs Came to Rule the World"

Next time I want someone to make me a 3.7% return on my money, I'll give you a call, pal...

Good morning, campers: Boris playing an absolute blinder...

Meanwhile, Channel 4 redeems itself, here and answers the question: Boris playing a blinder...

Financial Sage: Financial Has Been:

I see Gavin's old company have realised that Boris continues to play a blinder: They must have been reading my posts on this thread. They were obviously ignoring Gavin's, like me.

Right wing nutters....

Don't make out you're a scientist and have knowledge that enables you to patronise people that aren't as gullible as you. So, what you're saying is that you have a direct measurement of the rate of warming and greenhouse emissions from over 55 million years ago with a degree of accuracy of a factor of 10 compared to today. No you f***ing don't. Like tree ring data it is all based on proxy data. In fact, that Nature article is based on boron isotope data—a proxy for seawater pH. What a crock of sh!t that paper is and no basis to spend trillions on reducing carbon emissions. Welcome to the climate cult...
