Mrs Unslicker has scheminlgy found a desitnation with no wi-fi and limited phone connectivity, so it seems as well as lifeguard I am to be afflicted with a period of intense boredom too, yet I am assured this is for my well being.
Luckily, that means an increase in quality on the blog as Mr Drew, a real man who never stops working, takes over for a couple of weeks. I have extracted a promise of limited doggerel from him, but we'll just have to see how it turns out.... I'll be back in time for the new euro crisis.
(As a last small aside, the treasury is saying it wants to sell Lloyds shares before the crisis erupts after the German elections - how sick is that, rip everyone off as they buys shares that will inevitably tank - this is HMT - we are ruled by scoundrels.)
Aha! You are Alex, arent you CU?!
ReplyDeleteGotcha.
I spotted you on the beach, and I have my copy of the Daily Beast - I claim the £5 billion!
ReplyDeletethis is HMT - we are ruled by scoundrels - did you ever doubt this?
ReplyDeleteMe too. Have a great time.

It's simple: Cameron is useless, he has failed to cut government where he should (instead leaving it to senior bureaucrats who protect their managerialist empires) so he needs the cash - fast.
ReplyDeleteLloyds is his personal Wonga.
Have a good holiday!
ReplyDeleteI expect competition and state aid rules are behind any early sell-off. Look out for agreements made between the EC and UK government before May 2010...
