Beware the Ides of March

Its not been a good March as the UK experiences weather that is more at home in Siberia and comes to its fourth standstill in as many months

Cyprus, long been compared to the EU's Casino is deciding whether to cash in all their chips and call it a day or decide to tax its bank accounts which, lets face it, are mostly owned by Russians and Germans.

After Greece, Ireland, Spain and Portugal Cyprus sits in the unenviable position of being the first to leave the EU (or get kicked out)

On another note I received a letter at the weekend from Nigel Falange, UKIP's comedy politician who is getting more votes from Daily Mail readers telling me that the UK is just about to be invaded by 500 million Bulgarians with the resultant collapse of the NHS and welfare state.

And Boy George, who had his day on TV, unleashed his Domesday budget which gives more tax breaks to the rich from second homes to reductions in corporation tax and raising the tax threshold and chastising the poor even more.

And today I learn about the untimely death of Beresovsky, and when Oligarchs bemoan life and all its ills we know we are in trouble.

Maybe its me, maybe I seek out the gloom but since Mrs FT left I have a sharper eye on the negative.
