Hedge fund Lansdowne hit by failed bet on UK recovery | Financial Times

The much anticipated Brexit bounce has been more of a damp squib despite repeat optimistic messages, both from Landsdowne and Odey Asset Management, both Brexit backers.

ft.com/content/babd68…
Landsdowne, now run by Osborne’s best man, Peter Devies, suffered a 5.7% fall in its developed markets hedge fund.

Beginning to think that when they talk of Brexit Bounce they really mean recovery of losses.

Andrew Sabisky made vile claims about women and sex on Reddit | The National

This is 7 years ago. Why was Reddit asking a man-child to be an agony article?

That said, what possessed him to think he had good advice to offer?

“Bertrand Russell proposed colour-coded “procreation tickets” to prevent the elite’s gene pool being diluted by inferior stock”

It gets worse. All those authors on whom you have lavished praise?

“ Bernard Shaw insisted that “the only fundamental and possible socialism is the socialisation of the selective breeding of man”, suggesting that defectives could be dealt with in a “lethal chamber”.

As for DH Lawrence. I’m feeling queasy..
Labour MP Archibald Church wished to stop reproduction of those who are in every way a burden to their parents, a misery to themselves and in my opinion a menace to the social life of the community”.

“The chief executive of the BRC, said: “The issue is simple — higher tariffs and extensive checks will harm consumers, retailers, and the UK economy.”

Colour me shocked.

Another Quitter porkie meets reality.

We pay.
Almost 80% of our imported food comes from the EU, currently frictionless due to the neural network of regulations and mutual enforcement processes if the Single Market & CU, covered by transition.
7k lorries a day through Dover

Meanwhile exports to the EU are already contracting by -2% because the Government and Quitters have refused point blank to be honest about the consequences of their bone headed decision making

We know the change that is needed. One of direction

#Brexit ALREADY costs UK £1bn pw as we Hit Holidays! @GoldmanSachs put that lower at £600m. but I'm looking at 2+% less GDP (than would have been); more Govt Debt (+interest); the growing impact of #Brexodus on jobs/taxtake; £devaln.&inflation creep, reducing Property values.1/20
@GoldmanSachs Am puzzled & mortified? that UK's so-called Major Political Parties @Conservatives @UKLabour seem umbilically disconnected? from the financial IMPACT of their recent (let's say) 'accidental collusions' and Brexit-Birth-Giving! Why the co-incidental & costly numeracy lapse? 2/20
@GoldmanSachs @Conservatives @UKLabour Assuming that (eg) @bankofengland @hmtreasury @ICAEW @The_IoD @cbicarolyn @FrancesOGrady are aware of UK's #Brexit financial haemorrhage? eg Govt Debt, Jobs/Tax, Businesses (all sizes), Individuals - there may be varying estimates? but agreement that a HUGE hit is ongoing! 3/20

#brexit is a belief, a religion. There's no evidence to support it. It is just a blinkered faith. They believe what they want to believe. Their leaders are preachers, not politicians, & their reaction to doubting them is that of nothing less than a religious fundamentalist #FBPE
2. As such many will quite literally do this for some kind of reward in the next life or for a "cause" for their fellow followers. And when you read the words of some of their protagonists that is exactly what one sees.
3. And we must ask how it is possible so many have been converted to this religious extremism. In general it will the same as elsewhere, hardship, poverty, hate, a conditioned mind that is made to believe a specific group is the cause of their troubles.

UK is heading for #Brexit In Name Only. And maybe the slow, spasmodic death of British nationalism. Thread.
I’ve never believed UK & EU would agree terms on a new - indefinite - relationship. There’s a chasm between EU’s position & UK rhetoric 2/
Conservative Party backed EU for 50 years. Most grandees, funders and MPs still believe UK would do very badly if it left SM. Financial Times & Treasury agree 3/
