An excellent example of someone using a random anecdotal experience and then refusing to back down when they realise what they posted.

I’m not convinced Nick realises what day it is, let alone what he’s posted.

You may be correct, just this once in your life. All days are non working days.

It’s good that one anecdote top trumps another anecdote though.

Nick, why would Corbyn be discussed at length if it was felt he couldn't/wouldn't / didn't
influence business matters, either way?

This question is pretty vague isn’t it. Discussed by whom?

Nickgnome said:

Do you mean in the media?

gooner1 said:

Are you now saying you meant JC was discussed at length in the media and not by those involved in shaping business?

Nickgnome said:

No

Really Nicky? Not too vague that you couldn't differ between media discussions and those involved in shaping business before, what changed?


EFA.

Corbyn had zero impact on business investment.

That is absolute BS.

Evidence?

None of my old lot adjusted any plans due to a potential Corbyn government. Maybe they are just smart enough to make more accurate judgement calls.

Someone has reversed the polarities on the Nick-Bot.

It should have said:

Competent and diligent leadership will have contingency plans in place for all possible eventualities.

When you're responsible for the livelihoods of many well-paid people you need to take the job seriously.

It seems some people don't like to make plans for the future.

Absolutely right.

I sit on a commercial forum of a professional body and we dedicated a whole meeting about the biggest business risk to our sector about 9 months ago. The Bank of England and many large companies attended.

The risk was Corbyn. Brexit came second by a country mile.

I’m sure you can post some evidence to substantiate this forums conclusion, with the BoE agreeing as well.

How exactly does one sit on a forum?

Chatham House rules.

A meeting of CEO level industry professionals from property companies, advisors, banks and others formed when the GFC hit to exchange information.

You are out of touch, now you are retired.

I hear he keeps in touch with himself quite regularly

I think I may well be on the same forum, but within a different region.

I also attended a business lunch last May where the guest speaker, Lord Digby Jones, highlighted Corbyn as the biggest single hazard - bigger than Brexit risk - to the UK economy.

Anyway, not only was Corbyn harmful to potential investment, but so too have been the failed coalitions and gridlocked parliaments of post-GFC UK.

IMHO the perennial productivity connundrum can, in no small part, be attributed to this general, chronic uncertainty. One hopes this will lift with the present government and their very clear fiscal direction.

Another here. We held back until after the election for the very same reason.

We're taking delivery of 2 very big pieces of new kit next week - that simply would not have happened had Corbyn got in.

Okay, okay, people get it, you're retired and enjoying life, but for goodness sake have more enjoyment and please, please talk less 'row-locks' - on all the threads you participate in...

You'll be even happier!
