The UK Debt & Deficit
I was speaking to someone today who said, correctly, that the 'deficit' was coming down. He was wondering what affect Brexit would have on it. It gets a bit confusing as whilst the deficit is coming down, debt is still around 85% of GDP. In the terms of a Layman, the deficit is the annual amount the government has to borrow to meet the shortfall between current receipts (tax) and government spending.

Gut Feelings Coming to Fruition!
Anyone who runs a small business will know what I am getting at here. When something doesn't feel right and you have gone for it regardless, it is nearly always a mistake.

I was never particularly bothered about old dears who lived in a Miss Marple fantasy and wanted a return to a golden era that didn't exist. They wouldn't be around for long and are in essence, harmless. Easy fodder for the Daily Mail but not enough to change which way the globe spins...or so I thought!Howev...
