Guided Missile

...and Gavyn Davies aka shurlock does the exact opposite that GM advocated and his Fulcrum Multi Asset Trend Fund (a pure trend-following fund that invests across commodities, equities, currencies, and fixed income) loses 15.2% of its value in one year. Luckily, it was someone else's life savings that Gavyn aka shurlock used, to short sterling. Not expecting him to post a reply, though. Since I outed Taunton's finest, he's in hiding, hoping his investors don't notice his arrogance on this thread and the mediocre returns across all of his funds and the billions he's "managing". Easy money, this fund management malarky...ask Neil Woodford

The thread is about a potential free trade deal with the US....

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be...

Yeah...

Meanwhile, here: Boris playing a blinder, Gavyn having a mare...

shurlock

I am pretty sure shurlock is none other than Gavyn Davies, or he thinks he is. Either way, being a multimillionaire socialist economist who gave advice to Jim Callaghan and Gordon Brown must be a p!$$ stain on anyone's CV, however much he made out of the Goldman Sachs flotation. If I'm right, an even bigger p!$$ stain is coming on a football forum and acting like an arrogant tool. Anyway, I'm convinced he's that famous old Tauntonian and he is no longer Herbert to me, but Gavyn, a walking demonstration of why socialists make sh!t economists....

Meanwhile, Boris continues to play a blinder:

Get rid of the traitors in the party - done Replace sheep in wolves clothing with loyal Conservatives - done Unify the party - done Go to the EU with a freedom charter - done Taunt a divided Marxist dominated Labour, joke of a party during the run up - done Call an election -done Message: The People vs Parliament - done Arrange a deal with Nigel - ongoing Win a substantial majority - odds-on Watch Corbyn, Labour and the EU project sink without a trace - odds on Like I said, playing a blinder.

Crash and burn for soggy:

You obviously didn't read the Guardian article I referred to, from Mon 26 Nov 2018. Here is an extract, pops, which refers specifically to the drug featured in the "documentary": Channel 4 - Fake News

This article is a laugh: NHS? It's becoming a f***ing joke and has nothing to do with Trump or Brexit and a lot to do with smokers and obese patients clogging up the system. Still, I'm sure Herbert will be on in a minute to provide figures for the tax benefits of tobacco.

Usual total load of b0ll0x and fake news by the anti-Trump media. This issue has nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with patent expiry dates in the US vs the EU. Still, let's all deny the major Pharma companies a profit. The cost to develop one new drug is $2.6 billion; worse still, the approval rate for drugs entering clinical development is less than 12%. Those are the costs and risks and a socialist like you shaking his magic money tree won't help develop new drugs to combat disease. Capitalism develops better solutions for mankind, not some moral crusade with no reward for the risk involved. With regard to the drug mentioned, Humira, the reason the drug is cheaper in the EU is that the European patent expired prior to the US patent, which is set to expire in 2023. Adalimumab, the active ingredient was discovered in Cambridge as a result of work funded by the Medical Research Council. This government body still receives a 5% royalty on sales under the US patent. Read the truth about the NHS and its adalimumab deal here, in your old paper. You might believe that, but then again I doubt it will fit with your addled narrative based on watching telly. Typical dogmatic socialist who should go to Venezuela where the United Nations estimated in 2019 that 2.8 million Venezuelans have healthcare needs, 300,000 are at risk of dying with cancer, diabetes or HIV as they have not had access to medicine for more than a year, and preventable diseases like diptheria, malaria, measles and tuberculosis are rising in 2019, along with heptatitis A.

No cost to "re-nationalise" the Train Operating Companies if you want to do that. Nationalisation could take place on a gradual basis as each existing rail franchise comes up for renewal - this would lower the financial cost of a transfer of ownership.

What has that got to do with selling it off to America?

About as much as your post did, Pops...

A multi-millionaire is a multi-millionaire, whatever University he went to, Les...

Meanwhile, at the Shadow Cabinet meeting: I always liked Diane Abbott and the way she towed the party line.

...and as if by magic, this article turns up to explain what you mean by protecting the NHS: No carbs before Marbs...

Boris Johnson didn't request an extension. There, I'm not running away and I'm not embarrassed...

Two minor points: The railways are already in state ownership, so there's nothing to "renationalise". The richest 1% of taxpayers, pay 27% of the total tax. It is apparent that your comments about "not for profit" mean you still believe in the magic money tree....

Silly? I said Boris Johnson didn't request an extension. The letter he signed was as follows: I think that the letter above indicates he didn't ask for a delay and as for the rest of the EU, I don't really give a stuff what they think of our Prime Minister. They are the last people on Earth to accuse politicians of lying.

The real truth is that he never requested an extension from the EU, Parliament did via the Benn Act. The electorate realise that, even if an old socialist like you doesn't...

As Jeremy Hasbeen would say, "Bring it on"
