He appeared to propose a different tax scale for PE and referred to them as asset strippers. Its a bit of a backward step to the union rhetoric of 4 or 5 years ago when PE was making big profits.

Christ, my own business is totally reliant on private equity in the form of business angels.


They've got plenty of other options for their cash, and SME is very high risk, so anything that dissuaded them from investing in small business start ups, early stage funding, the rounds and pre IPO would be absolutely insane.


You'd kill small business.


I can see an argument to dissuade those that target existing mature businesses from asset stripping, but Milliband would need to be very careful in how he couches any legislation.

So what do we all think of the proposal to raise the speed limit to 80?


I was quite surprised as I'd forgotten that occasionally something sensible and positive can come out of a politician. I guess occasionally policy brainstorming does deliver the goods...


Presumably it is now only a matter of time before Ed suggests that it needs to be raised to the right level and not the wrong level. That the Torys are wrong, wrong, wrong and are going too far too fast. And that we should all get on board his plan to raise the limit to 78mph.

Quality satire, SC. :))

    • Defo, where are you based so I can collect?
    • There is no other way than to move out. I am in such a situation myself where our neighbours are complete assholes. They breached the Covenants and when we pointed it they said to take them to court if we want.  Unfortunately, they have made our life miserable and we have to move out.    What helped in our situation is having a calm conversation face to face. It only happened after they tasted their own medicine(i know it's mean but nothing else helps).   I know it's unfair but better move out and prioritise your mental health. 
    • Thank you so much for the reply. Jeffery turned up a couple of hours ago. I edited title to say found but somehow it didn't save. Thank you so much for going to the trouble of posting this sighting... even if it didn't turn out to be Jeff.  Jeff came running down the street like a bat out of hell and ran into the house. Never been so relieved. Mind you i've been up and down the roads shouting his name out all day. Even in Wingfield street. 🤗
    • I saw a smallish black cat outside 1 Wingfield Street just now.  I am not convinced it was Jeff, the eyes look a little different.
