Election Year or Fear!

About 50% in my case - although, by design, about 1% in UK equities. The US election outcome might be important!

I assume then that you ‘manage’ your pension? Pension entitlement/makeup seems to be a big topic of conversation amongst people of a certain age, second only to health, but as both subjects seem to cause increased anxiety in those discussing them in the real world I try not to indulge.

Manage In the broad sense of the expression. Definitely not micro manage like some I know do

Assuming, for the sake of your pension, you’d prefer a Harris victory, GP?

Let’s hope Kamala can emulate Badenoch’s infinitely less important victory and see off Trump this week.

I haven't really drawn a conclusion on that from a personal financial scenario. Trump is more pro business I suspect and the markets might be the only thing that responds well to him winning - but he's hugely volatile and egoistic. Harris may be better for the country and the markets longer term.

It's looking more and more like America may be Trumpton again though

Important or not, Funny how those racist misogynistic Tories appear to have selected a black female to lead them isn’t it?

AND now a labour MP has condoned comments saying she is an anti-black racist? Who voted for such people?

Not really. Has anyone, on here, accused the Tories of being racist and misogynistic?
It’s certainly an accusation that can be made towards certain individuals - not all of them white - but not in general as I recall. They are after all the Party that’s provided three female PM’s and the first non white PM.

Don't worry, Big D is on the case against all those racist flag waving pensioners and the police are above the law(even though they had a trial)


Everyone is racist, racist, racist

Dawn Butler, accused Badenoch of black facing "white supremecy" on twitter
She quoted , Nels Abbey, a London-based Nigerian journalist. It was titled 'Warning: Seven rules for surviving a Kemi Badenoch victory' and listed 'handy tips for surviving the immediate surge of Badenochism (i.e. white supremacy in blackface).'

Surely a sackable offence?
