Emergency Budget - Hats off to wee Georgie
As we have said many times, now the man and woman on the street finally will know how dire is our position. Society will struggle to stay together ( :( ). Likely, there will be great unrest.

Markets, markets, markets
I have had so many conversations recently where I have repeatedly stated other “advisers” find it very easy to have you buy but do they ever attempt to have you sell? Why not? Because they only earn when you are invested. Thus, they are vested interests in markets, property etc. On the other hand, we are as impartial and non-partisan as you could find. We advise you and we want only the best outcomes for you.
