Re: The Politics Thread

^^ Yup. I can pretty much guarantee that at the same time as my FB gets reposts of something like the "shortlist drama," we're not far off a Hobes post on the topic. As to the tracking from "handy pylons," 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's great win for offshore wind. Provides energy and can be used for covert surveilla...

Re: The Politics Thread

Red 'dead' Ed must have shat himself at his beloved 2tier, Trotsky government buying coking coal to keep those hated steel furnaces going. Damm, his mates in China must have slipped up, still, never mind his other pal Vladimir is still manging to track UK defence force submarines by the trackers pla...

Re: The Politics Thread

When you inflict tariffs on a country, then that country retaliates, I don't quite get why the world acts in shock? The biggest culprits in this are the huge companies in their great haste to export manufacturing to others who enjoy virtual slave labour to provide the goods at buckshee prices. Exam...

Re: The Politics Thread

That was a very convenient bit of teaching, wasn't it? For someone as inquisitive as yourself, mate, I'm surprised you take that at face value. The thing that causes inflation is the price, although they always want to link to cost, because the notion that that profits might have to take a hit beca...

Re: The Politics Thread

I think, as Jimbo says, at the moment it's just a headline. We need to see what happens next. I reckon it will be the awakening of the unions in the labour party which alongside MP's anger over disability cuts, will lead to 2tiers demise. Reckon the Robot will be first to go in damage limitation th...

Re: The Politics Thread

Abolishing NHS England. Feels like the right thing but devil will be in the detail. Actually, it's the myriad of trusts with identical management posts that should go first, IMHO. On the other topic, yeah a million to cover one year and two million families and associated spongers not arriving to f...

Re: The Politics Thread

I disagree there too. Building stuff along with continuing large scale immigration is about the only way they think we can drive growth. It's a big chunk of the problem and they're absolutely no better than the last shower in their approach. If anything, worse. They are trying to close down immigra...

Re: The Politics Thread

Economics are well past a giant reset, they are, a mess. If liked tinfoil I'd suspect that all the wars and distraction around are a way of negating incoming economic pain. Think of it this way, if the world was your laptop, you'd press the reset button. Maybe not a huge surprise, Hobes, but I disa...

Re: The Politics Thread

I'm thinking of applying for a job as an adviser to the speaker of the house. Apparently, the travel perks are stupendous. It's your right to apply mate, although I'm not sure there's currently a vacancy. Wish you luck. You seem to have all the qualities a Speaker might need in their advisory team....
