a whole 0.88% :eek: The Euro is also up because the $ has fallen. Tell all the mortgage companies pulling mortgage deals everything is fine, no need to panic, n111ck says we're fine.

How about just one example?

You just claimed that cutting red tape is going to balance this budget, so surely giving me one example should be trivial right?

Come on, give me your best, most cost saving example; and then explain why removing it will be beneficial to us all; and describe how you think it's going to help balance the budget.

This really should be a very simple request given your extreme confidence that doing so will offset the billions of pounds worth of extra borrowing and extra inflationary pressure that this mini-budget will cause, surely?

Let's be honest. That is exactly what people have been doing for the past 30 odd pages.

Yes, but like i implied that's not the only metric that should be used to judge if something is good or bad. People were looking at the markets for the last 30 pages because how the markets reacted was having a negative effect on things like interest rates, mortgages, pensions, and the prosperity of everyone. The markets were being used as a metric because they were what were reacting to government decisions and they were having the biggest and most direct impact on people.

If someone starts to pee on you head the primary metric you'd probably use to decide if that's a good or bad thing is the most immediate, most obvious, metric.

That's an utterly cringe-worthy attempt to shut down any continued discussion or inspection of @thenewoc's claim.

He says that cutting red tape will balance the mini-budget, I've asked him for an example of that red tape.

The fact that you don't want that claim discussed in any detail, speaks absolute volumes.
