    If the reason to make central banks independent of govt was to avoid govt control of the money supply near elections why does that not apply to fiscal policy to?

    Dont be fooled by economists and their paymasters, the banks and Gov, tax is nothing but extortion facilitated by unjust laws and national debt and interest on that debt is yet another tier and mechanism of legal theft, inflicted upon the tax paying population.

    Central banks being responsible for inflation targets makes zero sense.

    Bank of England should be in the Gold mining business and produce gold to inflate the money supply. Look, we need a fractional reserve credit system which means when you put £100 in the bank you get the £900 credited to your account as the fractional reserve not the bankers.

    The failed experiment of central banks and the financial sector would be laughable if not for the divisions, poverty, enslavement and outright corruption.

    Better to be independent if the righties have power. Some checks on their nonsense ideology.

    Where I live, the national bank is also free and independent. The interaction between it and the politicians (the government) seems fine. Both parties take each other seriously.

    The Bank of England was not good in day it was not independent, it down to bad governance which mugg is part of

    Going to Heaven is easy!

    First, you must realize that the punishment for committing even one sin, unless you are forgiven, is eternity in hell. To be saved from hell and forgiven of all sin, believe that the Son of God, Jesus Christ, died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again (1 Cor 15:1-4). When you believe that Christ’s atoning work paid for all your sins and when you make Jesus your only hope of going to Heaven, you are forgiven of all sin by God and forever saved from hell. Warning: None of our good deeds can get us into Heaven. If we trust in our own works to get us to Heaven instead of Christ’s atonement, we will not be allowed in. The Bible says “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost” (Titus 3:5). In conclusion, just believe that all your sins are paid for by Jesus’ atoning work and make Christ your only hope of going to Heaven.

    Jesus says “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” John 6:47

Labour MP Dame Emily Thornberry has told Andy Burnham to rejoin the EU without a second referendum.

Mrs Thornberry, who chairs the Foreign Committee, insisted the EU was not a “sacred cow” and those wishing not to talk about striking a deal should “get over it”.

“Why shouldn’t we talk about it when the majority of people agree with me that Brexit was a disaster, and we ought to get back into the European Union,” she told Sky News.

Labour MP for Halesowen, Alex Ballinger, responds to Mrs Thornberry’s comments.

Student rioters have looted banks and trashed shops in protest against the Trump family’s alleged invovement in a luxury resort development in Albania.

On Wednesday rioters stormed government buildings and set fire to the Ministry of Education, Ministry of FInance and Ministry of Justice. Police used water cannons to disperse protesters.

Student riots flared after a summer of largely peaceful protest demanding the resignation of Tony Blair’s protege – Edi Rama. Those demonstrating claim the government is corrupt and has allowed the sale of protected land to Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

Energy CRISIS: BROKE Labour warned NOT to help Brits at Budget as fuel prices SOAR and markets panic

Published

on

By



Justin Urquhart Stewart backs IMF calls for Labour to restrain public spending ahead of an energy price crunch, with gas prices set to rise by up to 25% and an ongoing global diesel supply crisis due to the Iran war and Houthi rebels.

While the British economy defied expectations and grew by 0.1% in August, Urquhart Stewart says the media must stop congratulating Labour on what is effectively a growth rate of zero.

Urquhart Stewart believes a brewing bond market crisis in France could spread to Britain, though a competent Chancellor may use a French crisis to position a more fiscally restrained Britain as a safehaven for investors.
