The problem is not if it creates a few more jobs it has to create enough to first offset what’s being lost in tax income before you can start measuring it as a serious success and there seems to be zero to little evidence that it’s capable of doing this. Some people thinking it will actually do...

Decorating. Or to be more precise pretending I’m waiting for filler to dry so I can rub it down and then start painting. Sitting in front of the fireplace is much more preferable and fortunately the wife is clueless when it comes to decorating and has no idea that I could have started sanding a...

Another interesting article on the “benefits” How Trump's Corporate-Tax Plan Could Send American Jobs Overseas

Doesn’t sound like Yanks are buying it either Majority of Americans aren't buying corporate tax-cut promises: CNBC/SurveyMonkey A little too late unfortunately

Here’s a good guide to some opinions The 7 Myths of the GOP Tax Bill Sorry it’s predicted to add 0.1% to growth not 0.01% I said earlier. Several independent think tanks also seem to think that the majority of the tax cut in corporation tax will end up in the hands of shareholders not the...

I haven’t ignored any “fact” at all. I just haven’t bought the line about it supercharging the US economy and neither have independent bodies in the US such as The Joint Committee on Taxation. They predict that the positive effect on growth will be something like 0.01% as a result of the Tax...

Just handing it out at the first meeting was a mistake. Don’t recall how long Obama was in office before he got an invite for a state visit but I think it was years rather than days. It would have been prudent to see how the dust settles before handing out such a prestigious invitation...

It was never going to be any different. I can’t believe working class America fell for it in the numbers they did. But then again...

I think we’ll just about scrape through having not covered ourselves in glory. Sadly.

On another note I see he’s got his tax reforms through under the guise of benefiting the poor but the main benefactors seems to be corporates, the have’s and the have lots rather than the have nots. The amount of money it’s going to take out of the American coffers is mind blowing also.

Heard a political commentator from America on the radio saying similar. He said there’s no way he could have had just one change without doing a deal to spill the beans. We’ll wait and see what comes out but people like Trump tend to be Teflon and have a force shield of fall guys. They’ll be a...

Yeah. He’s the split of Philip at times. Especially around the eyes. Not sure where the ginger comes from though.

Does having to show your passport at Paris or Amsterdam threaten the Good Friday Peace Agreement?

Doesn't look like the search for a naming rights sponsor has gone too well either Search for naming-rights partner for West Ham's London Stadium continues as Vodafone pulls plug on £20m deal £20M over six years and the deal fell through.

More bad news for Trump. Flynn charged with making false statements

Worrying for West Ham. Boris will no doubt breeze through it all though without a scratch.

I like this FP ;)

FFS. For the last time. Security tightened after 9/11 full stop. You can’t even fly from Newcastle to Birmingham without photo ID these days, that can be a modern driving licence, a passport or even a bus pass. My mother fly’s to Ireland now on her bus pass as she’s retired. After 9/11 before...

That’s the now, here and today. I know what you need to travel to the island of Ireland now, I also know what you didn’t need years ago having been a frequent traveler for over forty years, times change and they’re going to change again. The systems currently in place aren’t the same systems...

Again you’ve provided the proof.
