I think it is now time to close this thread... . Deal done ,for better or worse.
That would defeat a Google search!You deserve some form of award. Coming up with a question where the answer is (or could be) "Gove knows!" It is bloody difficult.
Oh, not again, this is like the reincarnations of Dr Who

Oh! to be a hedge fund Manager now the New Year's here! I wonder how much they ripped off the top last night?

Ignore the chaffing, one of our resident lunatics changes his persona whenever the fancy takes him, so a new face is always viewed with the possibility he's been at it again!
You are of course very welcome, and I hope you enjoy participating in our particular little madhouse.

What's this, optimism in the Guardian. And a sensible headline. What a start to 2021..
UK economy to outstrip Europe over next 15 years
New global ranking lifts Brexit hopes with forecast that GDP in Britain will be 23pc more than in France by 2035
But no-one ever takes responsibility when our GDP doesn't rise by 23%! Not those in government, not industry/commerce, not the journos who concoct the stories.Not forgetting this one. OG will be frothing at mouth soon and not with coffee..UK economy to outstrip Europe over next 15 years

If it doesn't happen, they blame it on something outside their control. If it exceeded, they claim all the credit.
That's same with all reporting. Gary Neville said United would never get in top 4, they sit second and he still prattles on. OG and every link he, s supplied over last four years has said we, d be bankrupt, rioting in streets etc etc... None of that materialised....
Then somebody says something optimistic and all of a sudden "accountability" is shouted. Of course its a prediction. Just like the Guardian's article is opinion. I know its not the done thing on here to show any form of optimism but thought since it's New Year's Day I might get away with it. Seems not. Light at end of tunnel has been extinguished or perhaps some are blind.
Ohdear, some more optimism. Can't have that. Only doom, gloom and catastrophe allowed in here.
(PwC is second largest analytical network accountants in world. Revenue 43 Billion in 2020, no doubt there will be quite a few individuals on here who know way more than they do)
As part of the great vaccination effort, a near neighbour who retired as a GP 18 months ago, has volunteered to stab people with a syringe. He’s been told that he needs to do a Safeguarding course, a hazardous materials handling course, a Diversity Awareness course and a practical session on the use of fire extinguishers. How are we going to get enough people vaccinating the population with these obstacles in place? Who thinks up this kind of nonsense and who sanctions it?
Diversity Awareness ffs, what’s he expected to do, take the knee as he shoved a needle into someone’s black ass? Come to think of it, kneeling might help in those circumstances.

Many in the UK, especially on the left, are in despair that this moment has arrived. For them, this can never be the journey to somewhere better: instead it is the equivalent of the last helicopter leaving the roof of the US embassy in Saigon in 1975.
But doesn't say whether that is from the point of view of those on the helicopter or those on the ground. Or the observers, like us, viewing the footage.
Even the government seems unable to summon up much optimism.
Perhaps we need the NHS to provide optimism injections for everyone?
Just adding:
I suspect optimism doesn't need to be stored at -70, so could probably be given alongside the AstraZenica injections.
