You may a...Sorry but you're missing the point. You may as well argue with the Pope about the virgin birth, citing it's scientific impossibility. The Pope doesn't care about that, it's a faith and symbolism thing; and so it is with Corbyn's labour party: its purpose is not to solve any economic problems or make anyone richer or better; its purpose is simply to get them into power and pursue class warfare against the "Tories", which in turn is simply code for anyone who disagrees with them, especially if they're better off.<br /><br />Economic technicalities, or even plain simple arithmetic, simply don't enter into it.Peter MacFarlanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554166005487231094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495971764170848323.post-33335117465156963942018-02-13T11:57:55.776+00:002018-02-13T11:57:55.776+00:00Yet another classic example of the confusion betwe...Yet another classic example of the confusion between asset value and cash flow.<br />As any trainee accountant knows, it's cash flow that bankrupts business not sales or profit.

His reputation has been greatly traduced and he died before he could defend himself. Basically, he bought large properties where the leasehold had only a short time to run and hey could be picked up cheaply and he let to recent immigrants especially from the West Indies, whose exuberant life style made them often unwelcome tenants. But the stories of hounding out tenants with dogs etc. were not him but Michael X who took over his empire. Rachman was not a bad landlord. miker22https://www.blogger.com/profile/10938730639767634584noreply@blogger.com
