I have never met Charlie Dewhirst but he looks like a nincompoop; a shoo-in to be one of the dimmest members of the Drones Club. However, he has three things going for him …
1. He is a Conservative nincompoop.
2. He has the guts to put his address on the ballot paper, unlike all the other candidates any or all of whom may be nincompoops too.
3. If elected, he will sit on the back benches doing his party’s bidding and, probably, be a good constituency MP, if he has a secretary who can read and write.
As you can see I haven’t made my mind up but you can see which way I’m leaning. One thing I’m increasingly sure of is that which ever party wins this General Election the price of shares with earnings in the UK will take a dip. I continue to favour emerging markets and the Far East. McInroy & Wood’s latest Emeging Markets Fund report encourages me in this belief:
A long-term perspective is essential. For what it is worth, the IMF has raised growth forecasts for emerging economies as a group to almost 5% in 2018. This represents a pace more than double that forecast for developed nations.
Put this down to just having a root canal done by a dentist who specializes in kids and who reminded me of Gussie Fink-Nottle . So under the influence of whatever to dumbing my jaw and grey matter as well I can safely say De Whirst is not de best. I shall proceed to lash myself with a wet noodle and enjoy a stiff scotch and drambuie towards nightly news hour.
Is Corbyn really doing so well? NYTimes seems to think so ditto the Nation. Think you are spot on about Far East…Japan for one being on the right curve.
