Labour Leadership watch

Yes sadly they didn't have the right adaptations to evolve. There may be a few left it captivity. Did Harold Wilson's Gannex have a mate do you know?

That's true TerriBull.I believe the Gannex was hunted to extinction by the 1980's, very sad.

No Harold Wilson's mac's certainly wasn't equine, not even derived from a mammal roses, A Gannex, some sort of bird I'd say.

Possibly the Windsors would think donkeys a bit common, but Michael Foot wearing it would have given it a certain gravitas I think.

Ahem! Going back to serious issues, lest we be thought frivolous........
It would take a lot of reading and an economist's brain to know if PQE is really a good idea.I suspect maybe not, or it would have been done sooner.

thatbags this is another explanation of QE

Did the social democrats want to be electrified though?

They may think mere donkeys a bit common though? were Harold Wilson's macs donkey related too?

This is an excellent article about how Corbyn has electrified the social democrats for the good of the Labour Party, so long as the others do not carry on with the name calling and in-fighting.
A long read.

The QM probably liked Michael Foot's coat because she probably recognised it as a donkey jacket, donkey being closely aligned to a horse, which of course the Windsors all love.

Yes, the Royals are so good at that aren't they? they say things like " have you come far?" i wonder if anyone ever says " Yes, Australia!"

There are lots of other links to PQE on the same thread, bags. That's just the latest. Murphy originally called it Green Quantitative Easing.

She always seemed to know the right thing to say. He was probably feeling awkward in his hybrid coat/jacket and she put him at his ease...

Wasn't that kind of the QM to say nice things about Michael Foot's coat?

Thanks for the link dj.

" During the Remembrance ceremony, the Queen Mother, is said to have complimented Mr Foot on the garment, telling him that it was “a smart, sensible coat for a day like this ”

Of course that's good enough for us! But was it a duffle/donkey or hybrid coat? We need to know...

Well I read an article in the Financial Times about Mr Corbyn's PQE ideas. I am a tiny bit wiser on the topic. A very tiny bit. The FT writer does not think it's a good idea. If anyone wants a link to the article, just ask (possibly by PM cos I'm off to look at other threads the noo).

It's just like normal quantatitive easing, thatbags, but it only applies to 'the people' (and presumably not to dogs, cats, horses, politicians, bankers etc).

Similar to The People's Pension, The People's Princess, The People's Assembly.
A new way of expressing 'The Plebs' I presume

Instead of QE, which is printing money just to go into the economy, PQE is an idea to use it to build houses, schools etc, but the thing is, with normal QE you try and recover the money back at a later date, whereas if you have used it to build, well, buildings, you can't, the money is spent, never to go back again.

Now I am wondering If I am wrong entirely, um, could it be Pragmatic Quality Evaluation, oo-er.Or even, Popular Queenly Eggs?

X posts.

Did someone ask about threads meandering away from the OP

Have we got to 1,000 yet?

Still no-one has answered my queries.

Oh, thanks, folks. Now I'll go and fond out what people's quantitative easing is...

Although I like Ana's list!

I may have missed the post where it was explained (well, written out in full), in which case I apologise for being a bother but it is a long thread and I genuinely would like to know what it stands for as used in this thread.

Take your pick, thatbags

During the Remembrance ceremony, the Queen Mother, is said to have complimented Mr Foot on the garment, telling him that it was “a smart, sensible coat for a day like this”

If it was good enough for the QM it should be good enough for the rest of us.
