If she worked at this level for Barclays etc. then she will be able to handle financial problems. Let me explain the way it works in the Front Office. Traders are supported by a number of teams full of bright people who understand finance every bit as much as the guy managing the position...

You do realise right that an administrative job in the front office of an investment bank doesn't mean she bought flowers for his wife and typed a few letters? Most departments in investment banks are full of extremely bright, organised and focused people.

I wondered if anyone would get that :)

Well that's the BBC for you.

On radio 4 this morning, hate crime reports have increased by 20% since the referendum. The officer talking said that some of that will be reporting incidents that would not usually be reported but he suspects that there is some increase in crime. I doubt this increase is new people - it's more...

If that happens I will be extremely happy. If the EU sorted itself out I would support a Brexit rethink and I'd vote stay.

I find the EU political stance very interesting - an approach that has never been tried before to my knowledge. On the one hand they have socialist/communist traits: big government; big regulation; control centralised on unelected people; wealth redistribution. However on the other they are...

We once sent in a photo of a mate into My Guy Hunk of the Week (or similar cannot recall the exact name) - which was a section where boys wrote in asking for a girlfriend. We added a small description. He received sacks of letters for days and they were still trickling in weeks later. We were...

I don't think so - in fact I think he'll be a distant memory in 24 months time.

Two stories, both related to my placement as part of a sandwich course. I was given a stats problem to solve as part of a role with South East Water Sewage department, the job was in Slough. The question related to someone dipping their finger in raw sewage and counting the number of drops...

Not so. The City is multi-cultural and people are respected for their performance and nothing else. In almost every department of any bank you will find almost the majority are non-UK-WASP. I've worked with people across the globe and never heard a single person mutter anything about race.

They are all racist bigoted Little Englanders. They just do what Johnson or Murdoch says because they cannot think for themselves. They believed all the lies. Referendums are terrible because Hitler held one. They are to blame for the SNP. And so on... And yet all the perfectly reasonable...

You may as well blame the wind for Sturgeon finding an excuse for Scottish Ind. Look at the name of her party - I'm taking a guess that she wants it irrespective of any other events.

Yeah me too - I lose by leave in several ways. But I also put aside my personal position to vote for the long-term wealth, peace and happiness of the whole of Europe. I stopped going on FB because of the bile from remain fanatics, please don't let this forum also degenerate into insults about...

Mart, you had me there until your Godwin. You know that the last three shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence... why exaggerate, all you do is lose the support you had before?

The rise of the Right across Europe came before Brexit - you have to find another catalyst. I think it is discontent with the EU but who knows? In the UK there have been a couple of reports about abuse on the streets since the vote. We need to find the people and prosecute. The cause may be...
