Winston Churchill « The Economic Voice

He then went on to become Secretary of State for Land and Air in 1919. Churchill later lost his seat in 1922. In 1923 he was once again back inside the Conservative party and filled the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer. He wasn’t happy as chancellor and soon took some of the blame for Britain’s economic problems in 1929. Churchill was to retake his former post in the war cabinet, 1st Lord of Admiralty in 1939. Then as Neville Chamberlain fell in April 1940, Churchill did much the opposite and stood, as Prime Minister. He bought the ‘no surrender’ attitude into the war, upon his [more...]

Mr Johnson made his comments after voters failed to give any party an overall majority following the closest General Election for years.

Classic Film and TV Cafe: James Cagney Leads a Footlight Parade

One of the brilliant ideas Chester has is that mousy, bespectacled secretary Bea (Ruby Keeler) take off her glasses and become the star of the show. He also thinks that Scotty Blair (Dick Powell) has a nice singing voice; even if he had been forced upon him by Mrs. Gould (the outrageously funny Ruth Donnelly). Coincidentally, just like in 42nd Street, Powell and Keeler are romantically paired in this film. If working under such tight time constraints and fearing that someone will leak his ideas to his competitor aren’t enough, Chester must also try to meet Mrs. Gould’s “decency” [more...]

Teachers, on average, contribute about 7.3 percent of their salaries into the pension fund. In other words, much of the money in the funds comes from the school employees. Public sector pension funds were designed to be funded by both the beneficiaries (like the educators who pay 7.3 percent of their salaries) and also by the employers.
