She's a nauseating entitled cow, who like the rest of the Labour government don't give a fuck the real people of this country, the wealth creators, the workers and the decent law-abiding. Instead they concentrate their focus on destroying wealth creators and spunking billions on illegal criminals coming over the Channel - at our expense. It's criminal what's going on and the quicker this odious shower of shit are out the better.
I think you may well be right in respect of the Fed raising rates and the BOE too over the coming months. BOE could raise further after that too. Personally, I think the bigger picture is the UK moving into a debt doom loop and the Country is not moving to remedy the problem. Gold has to be part of a "doomsday prep" picture.Personally, I'd sold down quite a bit of my holding in Anglogold Ashanti (AU) and GGP - I think I'm going to start buying back in dribs and drabs now. I don't mind being in a rum market for gold over the next 12 months - in 2 years or so I think we'll be fine.
Proposals to compensate countries for slavery are totally immoral. We are not responsible for the actions of our ancestors. All slavery is an abomination and I am proud of the role Britain had (eventually) in stopping the Africa/America trade. Slavery has existed in every generation; I have seen estimates that there are likely to be more than 45 million people in slavery today. If the government has cash to spare maybe they should tackle that. But if I am wrong and reparations are appropriate, we should be able to claim reparations from the Muslim north Africans that raided the south and west coasts of Britain and Ireland in the 17th century, and kidnapped fishermen and naval sailors off our coasts, including those trying to stop the slave trade to the Americas. And the slave trade between East Africa and the Muslim Middle East was far worse, in numbers and treatment. In that trade men ad boys were castrated and used as work horses, and women and girls used as breeding stock for more slaves. Of course that isn't called out; it would not fit the woke narrative.
