		<description><![CDATA[As I saw the Facebook IPO come to market last week, like many I&#8217;m sure, my initial reaction was along the lines expressed in the sentence: “These people are totally bonkers and incapable of learning from the all too recent past !” As at the last minute the bankers raised the price to $38 which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This picture of the G8 Leaders sitting around a table together, is very symbolic because whilst they can arrange a meeting and deliver a conference, the one thing that they can&#8217;t do is deliver their electorates. Solving the Euro crisis would be simple if either the Eurozone countries opted for a “United States of Europe” [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[...if Labour were the Government today, they would be doing exactly the same as the Coalition. So in truth, the real difference between any “proffered solutions” is wholly cosmetic which brings the difference to not one of Left or Right but whether a political party is “In Power or In Opposition”.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apparently the former &#8216;Dark Lord&#8217;, an European Groupie if ever there was, Peter Mandleson has put forward the idea that we should hold a UK Referendum on an IN or OUT basis. As someone wryly commented, a proposition that only a person no longer seeking elected office could make. Of course it is more likely [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to the economy, Governments can make things worse with bad decisions and thereby increasing the tax burden but they don't have the ability to makes things better, unless it is by slashing public spending and therefore reducing taxes. And like it or not, wealth creation is down to the private sector through ingenuity or Acts of God that give a nation natural resources.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Commercially there is a market for tablet devices as 'a method to access live data' stored elsewhere. Even, as devices to replace conventional till systems, goods inwards/outbound etc with the right software, of course but and whilst I could be terribly wrong, I suspect the 'fizz' will go out of tablets within a couple of years but touch screen mobile phones will prosper. The real question being will Microsoft prosper in that market ? Even for Apple, what will happen to them if the bottom drops out of the tablet market ?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is a sad commentary on the State dependent (Client State), society that Gordon Brown left in his wake that we have people on £50k a year bitching about Child Allowances and old age pensioners with a "tax free allowance" greater than the overall income of the average OAP like myself, bemoaning their lot, that is really sad.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cameron is right on this, first the Referendum and then a look at what further may be done. The point is that the Scots should decide what they want first they should not be "bribed" in advance because that will solve nothing. In a 40/30 split to STAY, the whole issue would still be 'open' and therefore, resurface quite quickly again.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In many ways it has all become a "race to the bottom" and has been that way for some time, but it may become irrelevant. The ability to turn out hundreds of thousands of smart phones and like products beautifully made and competitively priced becomes pointless if no one has a job and therefore the money to buy them.]]></description>
