We just have to wait and see what develops. I see that the EU want UK fishing rights in exchange for financial service access to the European Market...........and I'm sure Oldie will agree with me that it is the EU Access to the London Market's which is the biggest worry for the EU. The UK negotiating position should be , "let's forget about the fishing rights to UK waters, and instead let's talk about what you, the EU, are going to concede so that you (the EU) still have access to the London Financial Markets". The London Financial Market, in terms of size and numbers, makes the European Financial Market look like a Pawn Shop ! Let's trade the London financial Market for free wine...it's the way to go. f**k the fishermen, that's long gone. Anyway who cares. Free wine I say Wine? It's just over rated chemical plonk. Wasn't it the Austrians who got caught out by putting too much anti-freeze into their wine?

well not really as we are rule takers for another 11 months Step by step. Downwards, into relative economic stagnation? With increased costs. What did The Economist label this back in the 70's? Oh yes....Stagflation. As I recall we had an equivalently deluded government during that period as well.

I am presuming I have missed irony here, hopefully for the sake of your credibility. In the meantime....here we go "Sajid Javid has written to ministers asking them to find cuts of up to 5 per cent within their budgets, in a letter obtained by Sky News and the Sun."

Pretty standard from where I come from. Everyone is well aware that when compiling a budget, manager's will build-in some surplus. Surely you are aware of that?

So how does cutting the Home Office budget by 5% compute with expanding police, security and border and customs numbers? As one example.

You know as well as I do that there is always some fat built into any budget.

You know as well as I do that there is always some fat built into any budget. Ah, so your private sector organisation that you work for runs on a cash flow deficit? I think not. Remember this government has doubled the national debt and is burning cash to the tune of 5 figure billions every year. They got re-elected after making some quite large spending commitments, on the grounds, in the main, that borrowing costs are cheap (true). So where is the fat in that? There is none, so I ask again, how does cutting the Home Office budget by 5% square with their pledges on police, security border control, et al? Maybe Eric or Al can help you answer?

I obviously do not have any insight whatsoever into the government budgets, nor do you. I am just explaining how things work in the real world.

I was commenting on cutting budgets after pledging to spend more, that's all. Twas you sir who argued there is fat in their budgets, now you say you have no insight whatsoever. Go figure

Go figure It's called living in the real world Oldie. Have you never made a decision where one of your manager's presents his budget, which you then increase by allocating him more work that has to be covered by the increase you have given? Did you really manage projects with your black & white approach? Really?
