Q: Drupal Views outputting wronf date - Dec 31, 1969 Issue: Drupal Views module only displays Wed Dec 31, 1969 for date fields
I have created a CCK content field type called  field_gse_event_start_time.  I also have several views displays that use this field - a calendar view, a table view, and a block view for the home page. I also have a themed node template for the event content type that this field belongs to.
The start time field requires a 'to' date as well as a from date.  I have tried to change the type of the field_gse_event_start_time to date, datetime, and datestamp.  In all cases the node display of the fields is correct, but any view displays Wed Dec 31, 1969.
I am sure this is due to some casting error or null, which adjusts to this pre-epoc value.
I just don't even know where to begin or how to fix.
Some config
Drupal core 6.26
ctools-6.x-1.8.tar
date-6.x-2.9.tar
views-6.x-2.16.tar

A: You probably know that the 1969 date is returned by date() when you pass it an invalid epoch time and you have a negative timezone offset. So, date() will default the invalid epoch to 1, and the timezone offset makes it pre-epoch.
Why this is happening in your Drupal view is probably because of a views field handler expecting the wrong format. What field type are you using for field_gse_event_start_time?

Procter & Gamble, the world's biggest advertiser, announced its earnings last week, surprising some with growing sales and profits by cutting $140,000,000 in the most recent quarter in digital ad spending. Advertising Age reported that Chief Financial Officer Jon Moeller noted Chief Brand Officer Marc Pritchard's broader efforts to eliminate "a significant amount of waste" in the digital media supply chain. Bottom line: Sales were up, while digital ad-spend was down.
Some have concluded that the cutbacks started when P&G pulled ads from YouTube, because they were appearing on content P&G found objectionable. But when spending is cut at a $560,000,000 annual spend-rate, it's coming from more than one place. With sales growing 1% or greater, and spending down so much, I suspect that cuts came from spending that could not be properly verified…ads that were paid for in the past but never delivered or never seen.
Fraud is a rampant part of digital advertising today. Why? Like Jesse James said when asked why he robbed banks, "That's where the money is." Many fraudsters, mobsters, and political hacksters have figured out they can stay one-step ahead of the honest digital verification processes. They can deliver fake news that attracts real dollars, or simply fake ad impressions that earn real money.
Can digital verification processes catch up? I doubt it. The incentive to cheat is great. Finding a way to capture just a small portion of the hundreds of billions spent on online advertising makes for handsome illicit profits. Mayhem artists will work hard to invent work-arounds for every new digital verification process.
For a politically motivated cheater, or a geopolitically motivated foreign government disrupter, it's a win-win situation to create fraudulent-scare-content and earn money delivering it. Will they stop if the industry makes it harder? Not likely. For a simply money-oriented fraudster, well it's a big tent, room for them, too.
In today's world, advertising rates available to be earned by legitimate publishers are depressed by the volume of low-rent or outright fraudulent content that attracts advertising, too.
The time has come for the legitimate digital press and advertisers who want to maximize their ROI on advertising to organize the 21st century's digital version of the Alliance for Audited Media. In 1914, AAM predecessor, the Audit Bureau of Circulations, was formed to fight the rampant cheating in circulation claims among newspapers and magazines. Many cities had 3, 4 or 5 and more newspapers competing for circulation and advertising with widely varying degrees honesty. The ABC helped advertisers know where they could spend their money well. Some media properties prospered, others went by the wayside.
You may be thinking the industry has already addressed this problem. Au contraire. The Internet Advertising Bureau is not run for the benefit of legitimate publishers, nor for the benefit of advertisers. The IAB is controlled by the companies who pay the most dues, not the companies that invest in content, nor the advertisers, the tech companies who, like Google and Facebook ride on the backs of content. I'll address this in more detail in a coming post.

Abu Dhabi has been selected to host the 2019 United Nations Industrial Development Organisation's (UNIDO) General Conference, its top policymaking body that convenes every two years.
The emirate was chosen following a vote by the 53 member states of the Industrial Development Bank at their 46th annual meeting in Vienna. This is the first time UNIDO's General Conference will be held in the Middle East. The organisation has held the conference outside its headquarters in Vienna only three times in its history: in Bangkok 1987; Cameroon in 1993; and Lima in 2013.
The General Conference is set to be held at the end of 2019 and will be preceded by UNIDO's Least Developed Countries Ministerial Conference. UNIDO and the UAE serve as co-chairs for the Global Manufacturing and Industrialisation Summit.
UNIDO is the specialised agency of the United Nations that promotes industrial development for poverty reduction, inclusive globalisation and environmental sustainability. As of May 17, 2018, UNIDO had 168 Member States, including Brazil, Germany, Russia and Japan.
"Clearly, spreading global prosperity is deeply instilled into our belief system, and unlocking the potential of the manufacturing sector will support our efforts; it has always been a key contributor to social and economic welfare, and is instrumental to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development," said Suhail Al Mazrouei, UAE Minister of Energy & Industry.


Abstract: New biological discoveries and engineering technologies hold great promise in overcoming medical challenges, and when integrated, they shift the treatment paradigm towards better outcomes. Successful translation of biology into therapy requires a deep understanding of the physiological microenvironment at the diseased site, especially for disease-specific drug delivery systems. Tissue compositions alter significantly under pathological conditions compared with normal tissue at the genetic, molecular and cellular levels. These pathophysiological changes have been used as biomarkers for disease diagnosis; at the same time, they can be employed as instructive cues to anchor drug delivery systems. In this seminar, I will first present drug delivery systems that specifically target bone through chemical modification with bisphosphonates (a group of molecules that have high affinity to bone) and physical encapsulation with nanoparticles. Next, I will describe a novel approach using an inflammation-targeting hydrogel for local drug delivery in inflammatory bowel disease, a set of chronic inflammatory disorders in the gastrointestinal tract. The in vivo validation of these engineered drug delivery systems in multiple animal models will also be discussed. Finally, I will describe future prospects of targeted drug delivery in the treatment of gastrointestinal and skeletal diseases.

1) Ban Jelačić Square (must see)
Ban Jelačić Square is the central square of Zagreb, named so after ban (governor) Josip Jelačić. The square has existed since the 17th century. Initially it was called Harmica. It features buildings belonging to different architectural styles, such as classicism, secession, and modernism. The oldest standing building is situated at 18 Ban Jelačić Square. In the middle of the square stands a statue of Josip Jelačić on a horse, created by Austrian sculptor Anton Dominik Fernkorn. The statue was originally installed on October 19, 1866, by Austrian authorities, despite protests from Zagreb councilmen. Nearby, in the eastern part of the square, is the Manduševac fountain.
Why You Should Visit: This is literally the center of Zagreb which makes it a convenient meeting place for both locals and tourists. There are many shops and restaurants in the nearby streets and the public transport runs through the square. Most other attractions can be reached on foot from this location.

2) Zagreb Cathedral (must see)
Zagreb Cathedral is the most important and famous religious edifice in the city. Its construction was started in the 11th century, but was not finished because of wars and other reasons. Its present neo-Gothic facade appeared in the 18th century. Wood was largely used in the cathedral's construction and the scent of old wood is felt inside even today. Part of the interior are the stained-glass windows depicting biblical events. Also, there are a Baroque altar and several paintings and sculptures featuring the Assumption of Virgin Mary.
Why You Should Visit: One of the city's main landmarks; an impressive building located in Zagreb's city center.

3) Dolac open-air market
A great variety of fresh produce, such as fruits and vegetables, as well as dried foods are available at the open-air market on Dolac Street. The market is open every day (weekdays 7 to 3 and weekends until 2) and boasts some of the lowest prices in town.

4) Tkalčićeva Street (must see)
Tkalčićeva Ulica is one of the oldest streets in upper Zagreb. The street is renowned for its traditional architecture and the nightlife spots located thereon. Also adding to the street's popularity are the many restaurants, shops, art galleries, and café-bars.
Why You Should Visit: Packed with bars and restaurants! This is the place to go if you're looking to taste various types of Croatian beer or have a traditional Croatian meal.

5) Kamenita Vrata (must see)
Kamenita Vrata or The Stone Gate is one of the most important historical sights situated in Upper Town, part of the old city walls. It is believed that Kamenita Vrata was built in the 13th century.
During its long history, Zagreb underwent many reconstructions and was devastated more than once. In May 1731 a fire destroyed much of the old city, burning all the houses to the ground. At that time the Gates displayed a painting of the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus, which was miraculously undamaged by the flames. To commemorate the event, grateful citizens built a chapel within the arch of the old Stone Gate. The chapel, which still houses the painting of Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus, has since become Zagreb's most popular shrine and is regularly visited by local people who come to light a candle and thank Virgin Mary for protecting them.
Why You Should Visit: Kamenita Vrata is one of the most important historical sights in Zagreb and a definite must-see for everyone.

6) St. Mark's Church (must see)
St. Mark's Church is a parish church in old Zagreb. The Romanesque window on its south facade, much as the semicircular ground-plan of St. Mary's chapel, suggest that the church must have been built as early as the 13th century. In the second half of the 14th century it was radically reconstructed and turned into a late Gothic-style church of the three-nave type. The Gothic composition of the portal consists of fifteen effigies placed in eleven shallow niches. On top are the statues of Joseph and Mary with the infant Jesus, and below them one can see St. Mark and the Lion; the Twelve Apostles are placed on both sides of the portal (four wooden statues replaced the original ones which had been destroyed). In its artistic composition and the number of statues, this portal is the richest and the most valuable Gothic portal in South Eastern Europe.
Why You Should Visit: This iconic little church is one of Zagreb's most popular and endearing symbols! The tiled roof sparkles and shines in the sunlight.

7) Croatian Museum of Naive Art (must see)
The Croatian Museum of Naïve Art is a fine art museum dedicated to the work of naïve artists of the 20th century. The museum holdings consist of over 1,850 works of art: paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints, mainly by Croatians but also by other well-known international artists in the genre.
The Museum organises special themed exhibits focusing on individual artists, or to highlight specific aspects of naive art.
From time to time, the museum organizes topics and retrospective exhibitions by naïve artists, expert meetings and educational workshops and playrooms.
The museum is located on the first floor of the 18th-century Raffay Palace, 350 square meters in size.
Opening hours: Monday – Saturday: 10 am - 6 pm; Sunday: 10 am - 1 pm

8) St Catherine's Church
The Church of St Catherine is the first Baroque church in Zagreb, located in the square of the same name. Before the St. Catherine's was built, a 14th-century Dominican church occupied the area. When the Jesuits arrived in Zagreb in the early 17th century, they thought the original church too rundown and inadequate, and worked to build a new church. Construction began in 1620 and was completed in 1632. A monastery was built adjacent to the church, but now the spot is home to the Klovićevi dvori art gallery. St. Catherine's church was victim to fire twice in history: once in 1645 and again in 1674, devastating the interior. The church was refurnished with help from wealthy Croatian nobles, and in return, they were allowed to display their family coat-of-arms or have the honour to be buried or entombed in the church. Inside the church there are some Baroque-style sculptures and paintings. The building has sustained damage throughout centuries, caused primarily by earthquakes; its exterior has largely remained intact, though. Near the church is located a gymnasium and a monastery that has now been transformed into a museum.

9) Lotršcak Tower (must see)
The Lotrščak Tower is a fortified tower located in Zagreb, in an old part of town called Gradec or Gornji grad (Upper Town). Dating back to the 13th century, it was built to guard the southern gate of the Gradec town wall. The name is derived from Latin campana latrunculorum ('thieves' bell'), referring to a bell hung in the tower in 1646 to signal the closing of the town gates. The Grič cannon (Grički top) is one of Zagreb's landmarks. In the 19th century, a fourth floor and windows were added to the tower and a cannon was placed on the top. Since January 1st, 1877, the cannon is fired from the tower on Grič to mark midday, thus having functioned as a sign for the bell-ringers of the city's churches to do their job.
Why You Should Visit: Not only does the tower have an interesting history behind it; you can also experience the majestic view of Zagreb from one of the town's highest points.
Tips: Try to get there just before noon and cover your ears when the cannon goes off at precisely 12:00 each day.

10) Ilica Street
Ilica street is one of the longest streets in Zagreb and considered to be the most expensive residential street in the city. The street is 5.66 km long, making it the third longest street in the city.
The busy street is home to many shops and cultural sites and spans through most of the northwestern part of the city, from the Ban Jelačić Square in the city centre to the Vrapče district. The name was first recorded in 1431, while the street itself retained its present shape at the end of the 18th century. During a part of its historical timeline, the street appeared under the name Lončarska ves.

11) Croatian National Theater (must see)
The Croatian National Theater in Zagreb was established in 1840. The theater moved into its current location in 1895; the unveiling ceremony was attended by Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph I. The building itself was the project of famed Viennese architects Ferdinand Fellner and Herman Helmer, whose firm had built several theaters in Vienna. Celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of the building were held on October 14, 1995. At the theater's entrance, you can see the famed wall fountain "The Source of Life", designed by Croatian artist and sculptor Ivan Meštrović in 1905
Why You Should Visit: It is a gorgeous building in a park-like setting, surrounded by other beautiful buildings. If you are lucky, you may catch a performance and get a chance to see its equally gorgeous interiors, too.

12) Marshal Tito Square
Marshal Tito Square is one of the biggest squares in Zagreb. The square is located in Lower Town, with the Croatian National Theatre building at its centre. It is sometimes billed as the "most beautiful square in Zagreb".
The present-day square was formed in the period between 1856 (when the former hospital was built on its northern side) and 1964 (when the Ferimport building was erected on the western side). However, the majority of buildings overlooking the square were built in the late 19th century in the historicist style of architecture.
Marshal Tito square was the first in line of three squares which form the west wing of the so-called Lenuci's horseshoe a U-shaped belt of squares and parks.
The east wing of the belt is formed by the King Tomislav, Strossmayer and Zrinski squares, and the west wing by the Marulić, Mažuranić and Marshal Tito squares, with the Botanical Garden connecting the two. The square is home to several cultural and educational institutions and several landmark sculptures.
13) Ethnographic Museum (must see)
The Ethnographic Museum in Zagreb was founded in 1919 by Salamon Berger and it lives up to its name as it relates the ethnographic history of Croatia presented in costumes, local ornaments, musical and other instruments specific of this country. In a way, the museum acts as a keeper of national traditions, as well as educates foreigners about Croatian culture. It holds vast collections of photos, documents, and books related to the subject.

14) Mimara Museum (must see)
The Mimara Museum is an art museum housing the collection by Wiltrud and Ante Topić Mimara. Its full official name is the "Art Collection of Ante and Wiltrud Topić Mimara".
Of the total of 3,700 varied works of art, more than 1,500 exhibits constitute permanent holdings, dating from the prehistoric period up to the 20th century. Some of the most famous exhibits include works by Lorenzetti, Raffaello, Giorgione and others. The museum was opened in 1987. The building itself originates from the 19th century, overseen by a Zagreb architect Kuno Waidmann, and it served as a gymnasium.

15) Botanical Garden (must see)
The Botanical Garden is one of the best areas in Zagreb to unwind in. Founded in 1889 by Antun Heinz, Professor of the University of Zagreb, it is part of the Faculty of Science. It is home to over 10,000 plant species from around the world, including 1,800 exotics. It has large ponds for aquatic plants. Visitors to the garden feel recharged with energy when breathing in the fresh air and walking in the beautiful natural surrounding. As well as the lush greenery, the place features quite a bit of fauna, like ducks, pigeons, and turtles. For those tired of walking, there are plenty of benches to sit on and relax.
Why You Should Visit: Admission is free and there are fun things designed for kids. So if you want to rewind or entertain your little ones, this is a good place to visit.

So … um … yeah, what is "I Love My Muff" then? Well, the kit I have (there are two, a blue and the green, and it's the green I'll be talking about today) contains a wash, a spray, a moisturiser, and some wipes, all said to be scented with vanilla, grapefruit and ylang ylang, said to be perfect for the "muff on the go".
I'm not sure I have a muff that's going places, to be honest. I don't really give the ladygarden that much thought. I keep it clean, obviously, and I trim the … er … lawn once in a while, but I've never really considered giving it it's own four-step beauty regime before. Can you imagine targeting a product like this at men? Four products in one box specifically for their dangly bits? You could call it B'lox Pour Homme, and then charge them £38 for the privilege of not having cheesy testes. But, if you do do it, I want commission, mmkay?
Now, I'm actually doing the product a disservice here, they're nice products, very nice in fact. They're vegan and cruelty-free. They smell nice, but they're not overly perfumed, they're about keeping your "sensitive parts" clean and fresh, so they are not the labial equivalent of Mr Sheen. Using them is not at all like blasting your shanana with a bit of Pledge and and a baby wipe, they are very, very, gentle, and it is, in fact, an actual pleasure to use them. It turns what is normally just a routine clean into a bit of a ritual. My second major gripe (I'll get around to the main one in a second) is with the packaging, as all the instructions say to "lovingly apply to your sensitive parts", which sets my teeth on edge a bit. If you're going to use "Muff" in the product name, why go all coy on the products themselves? Stop fannying about, and call a muff a Muff, please. This is a personal thing though, it's just that the wording is a bit hippyish, and nothing annoys me much more than … hippies.
My major, major gripe is the price. THIRTY EIGHT of your English pounds. That's a hell of a lot of dosh to keep your vajayjay clean. The individual products are between £18-22 each, and again, I think that's on the pricey side. All in all, it's a good product, but, even with my love of expensive fripperies, I can't – quite – justify the price. I do love the wipes though, they're aces, and if they weren't the best part of a pound each then I'd have a supply on me at all times.
The Fine Print: Not a PR sample, but it was a gift from someone associated with the company.
*Not quite the truth, Get Lippie knows precisely why, but this is a family blog, and we're not at liberty to discuss the matter any further. AT ALL.
"Cheesy testes"?! I was mos-def not prepared for that. It's worth noting that I have a bag of Cheesy Puffs next to me that are going straight in the bin.
I really like the idea of products that are aimed at keeping our muff clean and fresh, but that is hugely expensive and I'm not sure I value the area enough to invest….
I totally had a thing for Bruce Dickinson. He has aged very well indeed…..
Hahaha, brilliant post, that's a lot of money though, eek!
hahaha loved this post!! a lot money though, don't think I'll be buying it any time soon.
Random fact…Bruce Dickinson was awarded an honorary doctorate at my graduation last summer, we were all a bit star struck for about a month afterwards.
This post made me chuckle but £38 is pretty outrageous. Shall bear in mind the non-hippie speak for a vaguely muff-related post I have in, err, the pipeline.
This is the funniest post I've read in months. Thanks for the gigglefest. My stomach is now killing me. Fantastic review.


While CBD is safe to use, it can potentially mess with other medications you may be taking. This quick guide should be all you need to safely use CBD even if you have other medications you need to take.
One kind of drug you should pay special attention to is a blood thinner like warfarin. Taking CBD with warfarin can make it stay in your system for too long without being broken down.
CBD drug interactions aren't always bad. They can actually be a good thing! CBD can make other drugs more effective, so much so that you can reduce the dosage of those other drugs and thus have less negative side effects to deal with.
Have you ever been told not to take your medication with grapefruit? This is because compounds in grapefruits can interfere with the metabolism of many medications. CBD does the same thing, but as I said above, the effect is even stronger with CBD. Do the grapefruit test with your doctor or pharmacist.
They will know exactly what you are talking about. If they say yes, you should avoid grapefruits with your medication, you now know you need to be careful about mixing CBD with those same meds as well. Talk to your doctor about CBD and tell them about it if they say you should avoid grapefruits with your medication. Alternatively, you can just directly tell your doctor you want to use CBD.
We always recommend you do this anyway, even if your doctor doesn't work directly with cannabis If your doctor is aware of your CBD usage, he or she may decide to monitor your blood work more closely or tell you to avoid taking CBD at the exact same time as your other medications.

On Friday, November 24, the Dutch national team will play Croatia in a World Cup qualifier. National team player Nicolas de Jong will not be participating as head coach Toon van Helfteren did not select him for the upcoming games. De Jong has not been playing for The Netherlands since June (2017), when he left the team a few days before some crucial World Cup games as he chose to concentrate on finding a new club. De Jong did not sign a new contract for his French team Chalon-Reims and had not been able to find a new club at that time. As he had a responsibility to his family to earn a living, he preferred to start looking for a new job immediately above playing for the national team.
De Jong and head coach Van Helfteren recently spoke to each other when the coach went to Spain to see De Jong and Henk Norel, when they played against each other. De Jong scored 8 points for his team Tecnyconta Zaragoza in that game, Norel had 10 for Deltaco GCB.
Did you have a good talk with Van Helfteren?
I don't know if it is a good conversation when someone told you, you are out of the team. It wasn't my choice. I was available and wanted to be there. Coach went to Spain and told me that I am not selected.
You didn't play for the national team in June when you preferred to look for a new job. Was it a difficult decision to leave the team?
It was a very hard choice. My agent advised me to go to France and I could not stay for the official games. But I am glad we achieved it anyway without me. I was supposed to sign a new contract quickly and maybe go back to Holland but it took too much time and I was too late. But of course, I watched all the games on television.
Did you speak with Van Helfteren in June about your decision?
Yes, he understood my position and let me go.
24 Seconds with Charlotte van Kleef
You left your team in France after a very good year and went to Spain, a big step.
Yes, it was my best year in France and since I just turned 29 I felt it was the right time to discover something else. I can return to the French pro A to finish my career, but I am really excited about the opportunity to play for Zaragoza. I spoke to Henk (Norel) as he played five seasons in Zaragoza. He is famous over there and he told me nothing but good things about my new club. I hope to play my best season so far in Zaragoza.
You signed for one year, what are your future plans?
For now, I'm really focused on my season with Zaragoza. The future will be in 8 months!

Gore lashes out at media consolidation
By JILL LAWLESS, Associated Press WriterMon Aug 28, 7:03 AM ET
Former Vice President Al Gore said Sunday ever-tighter political and economic control of the media is a major threat to democracy.
Gore said the goal behind his year-old "interactive" television channel Current TV was to encourage the kind of democratic dialogue that thrives online but is increasingly rare on TV.
"Democracy is under attack," Gore told an audience at the Edinburgh International Television Festival. "Democracy as a system for self-governance is facing more serious challenges now than it has faced for a long time.
"Democracy is a conversation, and the most important role of the media is to facilitate that conversation of democracy. Now the conversation is more controlled, it is more centralized."
He said that in many countries, media control was being consolidated in the hands of a few businesspeople or politicians.
Gore said in Italy much of the media is owned by former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. In Russia, President Vladimir Putin has stifled dissent on television, and in South Africa, Gore said, dissent "is disappearing, and free expression is under attack."
In the United States "the only thing that matters in American politics now is having enough money to put 30-second commercials on the air often enough to convince the voters to elect you or re-elect you," he said. "The person who has the most money to run the most ads usually wins."
Gore lost the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush in disputed circumstances. Current TV was launched last year amid much skepticism, but anticipated the tide of user-generated content now sweeping the media world.
His long-standing warnings about the threat from global warming have reached a mass audience thanks to "An Inconvenient Truth," a slick, stark movie that has become one of the most successful documentaries in U.S. history.
Gore's renewed popularity, and his high-profile book and movie tours across the United States, have spurred speculation of a White House run in 2008. He denied it again Sunday.
"I don't have any plans to be a candidate, I don't expect to be a candidate," he said. "I really do not expect ever to be a candidate again."
Gore said there was a link between control of the media and a lack of political action to control climate change.
"Questions of fact that are threatening to wealth and power become questions of power," he said. "And so the scientific evidence on global warming — an inconvenient truth for the largest polluters — becomes a question of power, and so they try to censor the information."

European Funds Comment: The UK Election Result
The UK election results are in: Boris Johnson will remain as British Prime Minister and lead a Conservative government with a healthy majority. That should enable him to deliver on his pledge to "Get Brexit Done" – the slogan that dominated the Conservatives' election campaign, despite being widely regarded as somewhat misleading. It will also clear the path for the new government to honour the other promises the Conservatives have made over the last six weeks or so, so it is a good time to remind ourselves what those were.
Uncertainty over Brexit is far from over, of course. It is now almost certain that the UK will leave the European Union in January, on the basis of the Withdrawal Agreement negotiated in October. However, that will only fire the starting gun on the second stage of the Brexit negotiations, and the time available to do a deal appears to be short: Mr Johnson pledged during the campaign not to extend the transitional period that is due to end on 31 December 2020. So, there is much more of Brexit still to come, including from those who will continue to argue that the UK's direction of travel is misguided and should be altered. (For more detail on what the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement will mean for European private equity firms, you can read our recent European Funds Comment here.)
But, Brexit aside, what will a Johnson-led government mean for the UK private equity industry, and the business community at large?
The Conservative party manifesto – like Labour's, but at a much lower level – promised increases to public spending: "approximately £80 billion in additional capital spending over the next four years" (a consequence of a change to fiscal rules announced early in the election campaign), and fairly hefty increases in day-to-day spending (much of which was already planned before the election). However, despite these spending commitments, tax policy does not look set for dramatic change: the manifesto pledged no increases to VAT, income tax or national insurance (and, in fact, increases to the NI threshold are planned, delivering an effective tax cut). Corporation tax rate cuts will be cancelled, but an imminent rise (from the current headline level of 19%) is not likely. And the Conservative manifesto did not indicate that capital gains tax rates would rise – although "entrepreneurs relief" will be "reviewed", an announcement that has sparked some concern among venture capitalists and owners of high growth businesses.
All of this led the respected Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) to conclude that "it is highly likely that the Conservatives would end up spending more than their manifesto implies and thus taxing or borrowing more."
Some specific Conservative policies may yet affect strategy at portfolio companies. For example, a plastic packaging tax of £200 per ton – to apply to plastic packaging where the recycled content is less than 30% – should give added impetus to an important shift that is already well underway. A small increase to research and development (R&D) tax relief, and a commitment to "the fastest ever increase in domestic public R&D spending" might also have an impact. A new points-based immigration system is likely to apply to EU and non-EU nationals, and that may well make it harder to recruit unskilled workers from abroad, as well as adding to the bureaucracy in recruiting those with specialist skills. Existing proposals to reinforce the UK government's powers to scrutinise and intervene in takeovers for national security reasons will probably also go ahead.
Furthermore, in common with all political parties, the Conservatives pledged to crack down on tax avoidance and evasion. Quite what that means remains to be seen, although the government has committed to a new anti-tax avoidance and evasion law and seems determined to press ahead with its Digital Services Tax – due to be implemented in April next year – despite likely opposition from the United States.
Proposals to change corporate governance rules are mostly in line with those already in train, in contrast to the more radical suggestions made in the Labour and Liberal Democrat manifestos. Important changes to those rules for private companies are already coming into force in 2020 as a result of legislation passed in 2018, and the UK industry association – the BVCA – has been in active discussion with the government over several others.
The Conservative party's manifesto may prove to be an unreliable guide to the next five years. On the one hand, it suggests minimal change: the IFS concluded, in its pre-election analysis, that the Conservatives appear to believe that "most aspects of public policy are just fine as they are." But, of course, if the UK does leave the EU next year, a lot will change, and UK-based businesses will have more than enough disruption to contend with. There may also be substantial rule changes that were omitted from the manifesto: it is noteworthy, for example, that the Conservatives did not spend much time during the campaign talking about changes to regulation and tax that could improve competitiveness for a post-Brexit Britain. Policies along these lines may yet emerge in the coming months, as well as strains on the public finances that may need to be plugged. And the debate over Scottish independence will now begin again in earnest.
So much will change over the next few years. For the time being, though, significant tax and (further) corporate governance changes do not seem to be high on Mr Johnson's agenda.

When it comes to all-out cornering performance, one rule applies: wider is really, truly better: and also looks better! H&R TRAK+ wheel spacers for the Subaru let you balance the handling and performance of your car. Most manufactures leave 20 to 30mm of extra space between the tire and the fender to suit arcane regulations or to leave space for flapping tire chains. These light-alloy spacers push your existing wheels or even your aftermarket alloys out to fill the wheel wells properly, giving you better cornering, better aerodynamics and even better looks.
NOTE 1: Two spacers are included with each order.
