Thread | Mortgage rates
at 16:04 11 Aug 2024
When we moved we took out a longer term fixed rate but for a bit of extra borrowing we took a 5 year fix which is up in 2 months. I was just looking at available deals and I'm grateful that rates came down recently.
The SVR is 8.49% apparently, we were paying 2.69%.it's a hefty jump that.
The question is did I make the right move because interest rates have dropped and may do so again but there was a 10 year fixed rate available that saw our repayments rise by just 24 quid so I took it. The SVR would have seen an ver 80 quid rise.
It's hard to know what todo withthis new government, will they be good for the economy and see rates continue to drop or will things turn rough again?

They are making a fuss, demanding more moeny form the Senedd and one of them, a Soprano, is on Welsh politics this morning saying Westminster should agree an emergency funding package to safeguard jobs, seriously...WTF?
They can't safeguard TATA jobs, they can't safeguard the NHS, schools, police or social care and rhe Opera demand more money from government.
I say they can go forth and multiply. There are far more important things than jobs for a few hundred people that only a few thousand go to watch. |

In what world is it ok to give other peoples data out these days? Let alone giving out other Mp's private numbers. Bad enough he did it but then apparently 2 MP's responded to naked pictures by sending pictures of themselves! Westminster if full of F-wits! They need to be removed.
This Wragg, of he had any clue at all, onstead of doing as he did, he should have gone straight to the security services and reported this. National security has to come before whtever compromising info they had on him. That was probably pictures he'd sent back anyway the total cockwomble. After reporting to the security services he should then have resigned immediately.
Instead he's still in post and Jeremy Chunt is praising him for apologising!
Never mind a general election, if he hasn't resigned the Tory idiots should have suspended him.
If you cannot trust an MP to know about data protection then they should never be allowed to be an MP.

My personal belief is that Israel did it on purpose. They don't want aid reaching Gaza because their intention is to wipe it out completely, they want those that aren't killed to leave so there is no more Muslim presence there.
And please, of you can't be sensible, don't post. It's ruining the forum and preventing decent debate. |

I've had many concerns about how our club is being run and while new owners would be preferable, maybe be careful what we wish for,
https://thetilehurstend.sbnation.com/2024/3/15/24101235/is-the-end-nigh-for-read
Readings owner is selling their training ground. It is alleged he has asset stripped them and that he has done it twice before, asset stripped 2 clubs then liquidated them when there was very little left.
Maybe our owners aren't that bad! |

Good to see him really on the offensive, having a proper go at the tories.
I know some will disagree but for me he should have been doing it for months, in politics, why not kick the oppo when they are down?
In his own words "what is the point of a party that is out of touch, oit of ideas and nearly out of road" |

Thread | This recession
at 18:46 15 Feb 2024
isn't ironic,
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68285833
people stopped spending which contributed to creating this recession but people stopped spending bcause of the high cost of living caused by the unflation the government didn't do enough to get under control quick enough.
If they'd removed green taxes from petrol for 3-6 months that would have been better, in my definitely not expert opinion.
Now we're told there won't be tax cuts in the next budget unlesss they cut services too, well what a surprise. We know the country is broke and we know it's because of decades of financial mismanagement by successive governments.
The diesel scandal, PPE scandal and the green taxes which appear to be a rip off also as all these green taxes take a lot of money but where has it gone? |
