A pesticide which can harm bees has been approved for use in 2022. Emergency use of a product containing the chemical thiamethoxam has been authorised in England because of a virus which affects sugar beets. The decision came despite expert advisers finding pollution from the pesticide would damage river life, and requirements for use had not been met. But Environment Secretary George Eustice said product use would be "limited and controlled".

It is ahead of Japan and Canada. This is a remarkable outcome when you think that the OECD forecast a year ago that Britain would limp into 2022 with output still 6.4pc below its pre-Covid peak, an economic basket case languishing along with Argentina at the bottom of the developed world's league table. The International Monetary Fund also predicted that the UK would be left behind in perma-slump through 2021 and into 2022. The global institutions got it seriously wrong." [Link] Economists - invented to make astrologers look good. The IMF report today that the GDP forecast for the UK for 2022 has been from reduced from 5% to 4.7% No country is in anything like the position that the Telegraph said the UK was in.

Talking of money, does anyone know if we ever got back the money deposited with the European Central Bank as part of our EU membership?...... was a tidy sum so could well come in handy in these hard times A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers

From Bloomberg today: Vote of confidence. "About 87% of global financial firms expect to invest in the U.K. next year, an EY poll found. That's the highest since EY started tracking sentiment toward the country in 2016, the year of the Brexit vote, and compares with 50% in early 2021 and a low of 11% in 2019." But, but, but.......we were told that the City would become a desert with all the financial companies deserting the UK after Brexit. Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry.

Whether leave or remain people should always hope that we can carve out a path and do well as a nation. It's a sad state of affairs when people hope that everything goes to sh!t just so that their preferred option is the one we go with.
