Do you think stronger UK Tax Receipts will offset the damage done by Trump’s UK and Global Tariffs? When are they coming in? When will the tariff amnesty end, and trade war hit the expansion/contraction of each individual economy, or the global outlook?

Last night we could not sleep, so we watched The Third Man. If it were a modern film, there would be a death count of over a hundred, but it was old-fashioned and built up to a great film. I woke up early, stayed in bed looking out of my window and the clouds drifted by, making different shapes, and there was a golden glow to some of the clouds, not quite Turner, but still rather relaxing looking at the pixels through the dust and pollution. We pulled on some jeans, put on a jacket, walked down King’s Road to Sloane Square up Sloane Street and down past Harrods, then into Brmpton Cross, Down Sloane Avenue, all in glorious sunshine. My point is that lots of empty retail spaces, which have been empty for years, have been let things may be improving, and I feel manufacturing may have dipped in August because of the School Holidays. Things to watch out for are taxing mansions, which will see a further exodus of the wealthy. We have nothing against raising the retirement age, but the other thing to understand nobody knows how Trump’s tariffs will affect the global economy. We feel everything will work out just fine as long as you carry on and don’t worry, what will happen will happen anyway.
This is a very interesting film on finance and physics.

Movie night, fancy dress, popcorn, hot dogs or beans on toast with Cheddar and Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce, sloppy joes, the movies to choose from: “It’s a Wonderful Life”, it was a disaster of a movie. It was thought of as being communist and anti-capitalist it did not take off until it was syndicated to television. Or you could watch “Citizen Kane” or The Third Man or plan to watch all three over a period of time. Same thing, think of all the things going into making the movies, not just the acting, but cinematography, lighting, sets, script, makeup up wardrobe, locations, sound, directing, extras. etc
How about a bit of Cheese and some Beer or Wine it is summer after all. I like to eat a bit of cheese before bed to make my dreams interesting. For adults only! LOL I like most cheeses and am always on the hunt for something new to taste. One of my all-time favourites is Pecorino with chillis I once spent some time in Barga, Italy and at the end of the road was a Cheese shop that sold Italian Beer as well as man’s best friend cheese! The other place I have fallen in love with was Luca, a walled medieval city, but don’t live my dream, follow your own. Spanish cheese, French cheese, English cheese, Greek, etc, not quite Cracker Jack. Fresh bread, butter, yummy! It is ages since I had a gherkin or some Branston pickle with doorstop cheddar sandwiches or some Swiss or Dutch Cheese, as you can gather, I am rather passionate about cheese. One of my compliments to my lovers is that I love you almost as much as cheese! Honey with Cheese, Apple with Cheese! LOL If you have not destroyed you’re taste buds, try and taste and feel the different textures of bottled and tap water, both still and sparkling. Some are softer than others, and some taste metallic. Beware those trying to destroy your taste buds, nothing sweeter than a kiss from somebody you love, especially if they smoke 100 a day. Just some to compare below
Evian: A well-known medium-mineral still spring water sourced from Évian-les-Bains in the French Alps. 1
Volvic: Another iconic brand, sourced from the volcanic region of Auvergne, known for its unique mineral composition. 1
Perrier: A sparkling mineral water sourced from the Vergèze spring in the Gard region, famous for its carbonation. 1
San Pellegrino: Although originally Italian, it is widely available in France and known for its sparkling quality. 1
Badoit: A lightly sparkling mineral water sourced from Saint-Galmier, known for its fine bubbles and mineral content. 1
These brands represent a mix of still and sparkling options available in France. For more detailed information about their sources and mineral contents, you can refer to the original sources. 2

Homework: Spend some time learning about commercial property, how negotiable it is and if you can have a let-out clause if you go bankrupt how long you can negotiate free rent. Then think about the latest news coming out of the Fed (Federal Reserve Bank of the USA) about interest rates. Trump’s import tariffs have caused some companies to plan on opening factories in the USA, but others, and it’s more likely, will follow suit on Nintendo, which passed the price hikes onto the consumer by raising the price of PlayStation. Can you, under the current economic challenges, write a business plan to start a viable business, get funding, premises, and staff, and be able to keep the lights on? Make a profit and maybe even grow your business as large as Starbucks, although there is nothing wrong with being a mom-and-pop store. Do this, or write a bestseller and turn it into a script and a Broadway show, it would be interesting to see which is easier, or you could just spend the rest of your life surfing the web for your pornographic sexual fantasies or sit being fed mindless TV. It is up to you. Learn about Bankruptcy laws and what you are liable for under each scenario.

A suggestion: if you are alone, take time to think about it or meditate on it; if you are in a group, it’s up for discussion “What’s not to say that the whole Universe is in a quark in a grain of sand on a turtle’s back? How many quarks are in a grain of sand? How many grains of sand are on a beach or on the planet Earth, and what are the total numbers of quarks and parallel universes? I thought of this a few years back and wrote it on my Facebook page.
Worse than the mad martial artists are the mad Buddhist’s who think they are the only person in your lifetime who has taught you about reincarnation and are fanatical about enlightenment if I ran a Dojo, I would make my students spend a year learning knitting and producing jumpers before teaching them defence. I understand how hard it is to have peace in every step. I respect Sensais who are strict about starting fights in and out of the Dojo and their students have great respect for them. I would also sit around with others, knitting, discussing topical things like peace and living in harmony, the economy philosophy, both Western and from the East, & Travel current affairs literature I would expect all my students to attend their garden, not literally, but their minds. Life is about experiences, and it is fun to learn from each other. Maybe even set them a goal of a GCE in maths, English or another language, maybe a PHD in Physics. I would also expect, unless you had a bloody good excuse, to join me after the class, join me in a cup of Green Tea or a Glass of the most precious stuff on the planet, water. I once had tea with a great Sensei. Look into the Spelling mistakes of a grand master and a Sensei of English, Shakespeare how the English word has changed.
One of my biggest disappointments, apart from checking the obituaries and finding I am no closer to the Throne of England, is that Diana had Children I should think by now their wives think the same. Thanks for switching off Grammarly! I think you should also spend some time thinking about running the Government only when you get a leader or a Party that cares about not only their party’s aims but the whole population of the country do you truly get a great leader and a successful Government? I put it to you that when Governments play with the system for policing finance and the people and relaxes governance in finance it is the end of an economic cycle.
I have come to the conclusion that their is much tit for tat.
Is Goldman Sachs financially stable have the employees been doing to much Grade A Drugs as well as soft drugs are they taking their medication have they been laundering money or dealing with countries we have sanctions on did they stay in touch with their Mexican friends from April Fool? These are just some of the questions you should ask before investing with the firm or in their shares or Bonds.
All it takes to change the economy is to buy a pencil with an eraser on the end and a pad and you can change the world you can write a love letter, poetry, a book, a script, a song arrange music, design a building, clothes, a microchip, a new mathimatical equation come up with the cure for something etc you can write down ideas either as a list a small parigrapgh in detail or in bubbles all over the page your resume or a business plan. Also to rescue the global economy you have to stop telling people to hand over their ideas or businesses or charging protection money.
I watched the third man I could not sleep At first I thought it was boring but soon as Harry got into the Ferris Wheel and opend the door and you think he is going to throw his friend out and explains whats the difference to him or a world leader they are jst dots on the ground who really notices if some drop dead I am not parfraising exactly. I came to the conclusion it’s just the same with Doctors and Nurses world leaders, we are just dots I have been told there is a department in the UN that just spends its time thinking about population control because the world’s resources are not infinite COVID was a global agreement to cut the population of the planet. It is one of the cleverest films and one of the most dangerous. I now understand the book Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing.
The system will never change, and if you understand the Buddhist philosophy of Impermance, you would be like a lot of Italian women choosing not to have Children.
Christopher Cleverley Chambers advertised some years back for telepaths and psychics. How many sit in the courtroom manipulating cases, he claimed to have never lost a case, which is misleading.
Israel has copied the Vatican, Nation of Islam, ANC and other countries and put people and children under cover with Buddhist Sects to learn their secrets and win a Holy War!
