BBC News viewers reached quarterly UK 2012-2019 | Statista
The BBC News TV channel has seen a decline in reach over recent years in the United Kingdom.www.statista.com
Meanwhile, in France, the bloody-mindedness quotient in their culture means that they need a far greater level of repression and chastisement to get them to what most 10 year olds this side of the Channel would work out to be the sensible thing. A fair few of my family still live there and we compare toilet-paper stories on a daily basis; whilst the fun shows no sign of stopping for the moment, the French, in their own hap-hazard recalcitrant way, will end up doing what needs to be done.... but with a bit more drama and gesticulation.I like your optimism
Not optimism but realism and I have absolutely no problem with planning for the worst and hoping for the best - that way there are only pleasant surprises. However, take a look across the channel to see where it's all headed, doesn't look good to me, therefore a healthy dose of pessimism and skepticism is not unusual. 🔥🚒👩🚒🧯 Of course they're well ahead along the curve and the Italians are particularly hard hit because their splendid Mediterranean diet and generally beneficial climate means that their old fuckers are even more elderly than over here....with commensurate death toll and strain on their creaking health service.

It's like herding cats. They only way is to cage them.
Seems a bit far-fetched, but no more absurd than what's going on now...so why not?
The reasons why markets were at such dizzy heights is simply because of the previous banking crises where billions were dished out and QE is with us to this day in many of the G8 countries.
Pretty much all countries are just announcing further 100s of billions of money.
All this cash will have to be spent or stored in some place or other.
Given banks and gilts offering 2% or less, the natural home for cash becomes the stock market with companies paying 3-5% dividends or higher.
House price inflation has gone high enough and there isn't really anything else to store value.
I do see a V type correction and stock market making new highs once all those billions get injected into the global economy.
Just my tuppence.
