Jerry Markham in my book "The History Of Commodity Futures Trading" I emphasized how standardisation of contract terms is absolutely essential.
Some bozo: at last we have created futures markets based on absolutely anything you write on a website, like in the book "Nothing Matters LOL!"

Welcome to Britain, a country so short of dentists that an MP's 87-year-old mum pulled her teeth out with pliers. Also a country with thousands of foreign-qualified dentists who can’t work until they pass an exam so oversubscribed it’s like trying to book Glasto tickets. www.ft.com/content/f4e5...

When you’re troubleshooting quilt stuff, you want sites from before 2004 by a lady named Barb or Carol.
Knitting? Late 40s women who almost certainly are computer scientists or would have been.
Embroidery is 30s women who say fuck a lot.
Sewing is bored fashion school graduates.

The line here that made my ears prick up (and should really spook Labour) is the third one (that we need “fair and managed” migration). That’s not the answer of someone who has come to get his 12 per cent. That’s a much more “no, when I say I want to replace Labour, I’m not coming to play” line.
Zack Polanski, "Labour are a government of cowards because you won't tell people the truth about migration"
"Migration is a positive thing for our country"
"We need migration"
