RFT Express News

Without the working man, or woman a terrible thing happens: Nothing. What is the Government doing about it?
The Coalition say they will not spend their way out of this mess, but in actual fact they are spending their way into it. Debt if the growth forecasts are to be believed will be higher in 2015 when this government has gone, than when it took over.
The governments answer is more cuts which will put more people out of work, and increase government expenditure. The proposed increase in fuel duty of 4p per litre, would have fuelled inflation, and pushed prices higher, as well as pushing more businesses into liquidation. More people out of work, means more benefits to be paid out, less tax revenue, higher prices, higher inflation, and further tax rises and government borrowing.
We may not be in recession right now, but it certainly feels like it. Read More

RFT Express NewsWhen Cameron turned his back on Europe it was the blunder of a lifetime said MEP Guy Verhofstadt a former Belgium premier.

Joseph Daul a French MEP said Britain should be stripped of its £2.7billion rebate, as a punishment.
Nicolas Sarkozy said “Britain will pay for this, and pay dearly”:  
Other comments were equally derogative : “When you are invited to the table, you are either a guest or the menu” “There is one golden rule in politics, You only walk away if you are sure others will follow”
The EC head Jose Manuel Barroso said “Britain stance in Brussels had made compromise impossible. The Lib-Dems are saying that Cameron should have discussed his strategy with ministers before he travelled to Brussels.

RFT Express News

The EU had set a deadline to come up with a solution to the immediate problems. A meeting was held yesterday to work out the response to their problems, Nearly 10 hours of talks could not produce an agreement involving all member states. Instead, the 17 members of the eurozone will work on a separate deal outside EU treaties. They will be joined possibly by nine other countries, the EU statement said, leaving the UK as the only exception.

The EU came up with the idea that a new treaty would be drafted, which required all member states to reduce their sovereign debt, and keep it down, otherwise sanctions would be imposed. The idea seems to be a bit self defeating,

Yorkshire Courier ; The original and still the best   

The deaths of a 48 year old couple from Warwickshire, was reported by the ‘Metro’ on Wednesday the 9th of November. They were found lying side by side on the 3rd of November in their run down council house, after they had given up the struggle to live on just £57.50 a week.

The couple had been subjected to a series of health and benefits cuts, which left them walking to a soup kitchen six miles away, every day to collect free vegetables, which they cooked on a camping gas stove.

You have the world in your hands

The EU problems, compounded by the uncertainty of the Greek position, could help push the UK into a double dip recession and possibly the rest of the world.. The instability and uncertainty of the EU and the Euro have made many companies wary of bidding for contracts where payments are made in the Euro.
Last month we had two very large contracts we were asked to quote for, normally we would spread the risk by asking other companies to take on part of the contract with us. With the problems and uncertainties associated with the EU and the Euro, we couldn’t manage to find enough partners willing to participate.
Greece exasperated the problem when the Greek Prime minister decided to throw a spanner in the works, and have a referendum on the agreed bail out package, and Greece’s membership of the Eurozone.
The EU had agreed to ask the banks who had provided the bail out to Greece to write off 50% of the loan, and to lend more to Greece. China , among others was approached for money, as well as Russia. When it became apparent that maybe Greece would default on the full debt, investors started to get cold feet.
