IBM runs the congestion charge right? , who bets they will outsource millions of people in India and change their IPs so they look like Londoners comments to be super duper pro congestion charge?...



Consultations are just going through the motions anyway , the decision has already been made as has Manchester's decision.

Hi

Not sure it is IBM.

However the scheme is already in place, put in by the previous and now rejected mayor. This consultation is from the new mayor who doesn't suffer from the anti motorist tendencies of the previous one.

All the best

So Londoners will be allowed to vote in two ways :

YES and YES

Capita runs (or at least ran the scheme at the start), although not sure what links the board members have to IBM.

You know, the same Capita that lent millions to New Labour, then ended up with loads of Government IT contracts in it's back pocket!

Yet more examples of blinkered thinking from the conspiracy nuts.

Boris has made it quite clear he doesn't agree with the CC, and that he will get rid of it if Londoners vote in favour of doing so.

There isn't a company/organisation/family/religion in the world that you can't trace back to some form of wrongdoing at some point in the past. Talking about Nazi death camps (funny how conspiracy nuts seem to be obsessed with Hitler) is hardly conducive to a sensible discussion on a traffic charge in Kensington!?

It's very difficult to only use the services and products of companies that are and have always been ethical. If we did insist on that, none of us could have bank accounts or shop in supermarkets. We certainly wouldn't be driving German, Japanese, Italian, UK, US, French, etc cars or bikes.

Besides, the UK had concentration camps, too, but chose to call them internment camps. Apart from those they set up in South Africa during the Boer Wars.

I have worked for two companies where you couldnt get a japanese company car due to directors having relatives who died in japanese pow camps.

Funds? performance?

There is a story about a Chimpanzee in 2004 , she selected when to buy stocks and shares for a period of 6 months by using a large dart board to select which to buy and which to sell , she was the 60th best performing investor...


Also there is an element of right place at the right time...

In that if I had enough money I would have shorted half of it on a currency that is pegged to the USD. In little under 6 weeks I would have made 25% , hence if I had 2 million I would now have 2.5 million.

The £ is sliding and the government exactly like 1967 (Harold Wilson) and 1993 with the ERM crash, the UK government doesn't have the guts or the money to defend the £.

I know for a fact the UK government will not defend the £ , it is bankrupt (paying using printed £ makes it worse!)...

There are only 2 methods of defending the £ , hike interest rates to about 5.5% as a short term measure....

Or to stop anybody drawing anymoney other than a subsistance amount from UK banks. Argentina tried this and it caused a revolution.

Since the UK government can't hike interest rates due to too much house hold debt (people are going bust @ 5%) , and since it can't stop people drawing money it can do nothing.
