Scanners. I feel you may have questioned my mum's integrity within your reply. I sincerely hope not. With-this-in-mind, this debate could easily descend to a nasty, accuasatory level. Please leave the dirty stuff to the politicians if you will.



Fact 1. My mum is probably the most honest person I know. She would never lie, fib or mislead anyone so far as I'm aware. (And even if she was, she did a pretty smart job in hiding the supposed wealth she had under the tories.)



Fact 2. I remember what life was like for our family from 1990'ish when I was just 5 to 1997 when I was 12. It was tough. Really tough. I also noticed the drastic change in our quality of life from '97 until now. It is significantly better.



Now, considering my mum's integrity, why is this? And why do I hear the same from countless other families in the same boat?





You strike me as a decent person who is passionate about their politics. I'd love to hear your opinion.









However, I don't believe either party has the answers to the current economic plight of the country. Such is the unsustainable nature of monetarism per se. (Different debate.)

i was getting bored of going round and round in circles.



Well said Walsovski.

Early Bath, I wonder how many posters know who Barrington Dalby was?

On the Denis Healey was that the time when the pound was devalued but the pound in our pocket was the same as it always was?

Now that was the devaluation in 1967, Harold Wilson was the one who said 'it doesn't affect the pound in your pocket'.

wasn't that Mike Yarwood

I think you will find I mentioned Britain going to the IMF in 1976 on a thread on the Sin Bin



It may be a loan, but it's public money. Given the current climate should any local authority be loaning such amounts?

When you say low rate money, what is the cost?

What other income streams?

How quickly?

Peel are being very sensible letting someone else risk their money.

If it's such a sure fire success why aren't Peel just getting on with it. After all they are a very successful well financed company that would have no problem investing £20m??
