Donald Trumps Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 You could certainly sell shares, keeping a golden one or two But now probably isn't the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piebaps Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 You're more likely to find a buyer for the Steamy than the calf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manxberry Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 There's no point selling the Calf, even if it was an option - the civil service would burn through the money in days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stinking enigma Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Lease it to russia or china 5 billion a year or bargain price to uk 2.5 billion a year for "wildlife upkeep". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolley Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 1 hour ago, LightBulb said: Haven`t we just taken £100M out of the pension fund, that was already in the red shit ? The NI fund is not in the red or the brown. It is worth about £750-850m depending how the investments are doing. It forms the bulk of reasonably liquid reserves. It has been further protected by the increase in the pension age currently happening, so fewer new claimants for several years while death continues at a regular pace. Pensioners will die of coronavirus too, further insulating the fund. It is proposed to fund the 3 month emergency measures for those stood down from work with £100m from the fund, so about an eighth of it. However, this is an open question. It could require more. On the other hand, everyone I have heard of making a claim appears to be getting knocked back, so perhaps it won't cost so much after all. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
