About this listen

In this week's Podcast Douglas reviews the GDP data just released, comments on the implications of the apparent imminent demise of NATO and the wishes of President Trump to 'appease' Putin, not a word to be used lightly. He reviews how Europe might seek to pay for rearmament by printing more funny money and the continuing failure of the public sector and in particular the NHS to show productivity gains, or in the case of the NHS return to pre Covid levels of productivity

Returning to implications of Covid Neil looks at the attempts being made by local authorities and local MP's in Kent to see the return of Eurostar services to Ebbsfleet and Ashford that were stopped when Covid struck, With our local travel infrastructure principally foreign owned our leverage seems limited, and looking back into the origins of this project discovers we are still waiting for part 2 of the scheme launched by Mrs Thatcher and The Treaty of Canterbury.

Neil gives a shout out for a new pub reopening on Romney Marsh and this week our Kent wine of the week is The Bacchus from one (if not the) of the oldest vineyards in Kent, Biddenden
