  1. @Tyrone Ngubu Imagine being so thick you haven't noticed the catalogue of problems and debt it's left us with...

  2. @Tyrone Ngubu We have two trillion national debt, that is a debt your great-grandchildren will be paying off, assuming you're not as sterile as your mind...

  3. @Tyrone Ngubu lol so you're self-confessed ignorant who is unaware what he pays for?

  4.  @jhfdhgvnbjm75  My comment is fact, only 40% of our natural gas come from the mere 20 billion barrels of oil and natural gas left in the North Sea (less than 5 years worth). Much of the gas coming from Europe comes in tankers as well as pipelines. Brexit has cost us trillions in losses and more than our 47 years of membership fees to the EU. It has also cost us to lose our triple a-credit rating twice and more than £490 billion in foreign investment and sterling. We have over 100,000 staff shortages in the NHS and a lack of HGV drivers causing food, energy and fuel price rises and shortages. We have a national debt of over £2 trillion and a debt to GDP ratio of over 100%. We are the world's largest enabler of corporate tax evasion through the crown and overseas territories and that was the predominant reason for Brexit...

  5. @Tyrone Ngubu You pay inflation on everything you buy based on our fiscal situation, national debt and our debt to GDP ratio. Stop being thick...

  6. @Tyrone Ngubu Everyone in Britain is subject to inflation and various forms of taxation. Seriously just stop...

  8.  @bruhbruh2290  Surprising then that the Tories are offering to reduce post-Brexit immigration rules to attract the non-existent EU HGV drivers to make up for the shortfall in Britain? Shades of grey, HGV drivers may well be in short supply, but the problem in the UK is greatly increased by Brexit regulations and extra red tape for HGV drivers, who don't want all the extra hassle for min wage. PS I've already discussed this several times and I'm bored of Brexiteers who can't find any faults with Brexit, even when they are in all the newspapers. Food shortages, basic material shortages, petrol shortages, increase in Gas/Energy prices of 560% compared to an average of 400% in the EU.

  9. I'm going to guess in November of the year 2022 and because they can't afford to live on poverty wages... Answers on a postcard!

  10. That man is about as much use as a rubber beak to a woodpecker. Any similarity between Boris and a human is purely coincidental. He has diarrhoea of the mouth and constipation of the brain. Doesn’t know the meaning of the word decency but then again he doesn’t know the meaning of most words. If idiots could fly, Tory HQ would be a bloody airport.

  13. Tories have wallowed for decades, they just let the frontman take the fall and recycle them back into rotation a few years later. It was only a few years ago Priti Patel had secret meetings with Israel and Netanyahu and was forced to step back, now she's back to gaslighting the nation as if nothing happened...

  14. Good old-fashioned bullies who are too blind to see past their daily lives to protect their grandchildren. Standing up to eco-protestors who are going up against the powerful corporations on the planet... I know whose side I'm on and it isn't the corporations who shorten our lives.

  19. She's definitely a few planks short of a wooden bridge. Diarrhoea of the mouth; constipation of the ideas. She certainly shouldn't let her mind wander — it’s far too little to be let out alone.

  20.  @sylvanuschristopher4959  My comment is born out of a dislike of privileged people 'living it up' when most hard-working Brits are suffering from poverty. I have nothing against Harry and Meghan personally, just the class and entitlement they enjoy. Simple logistics would suggest the only reason people go without in such a rich country as Britain, is because of inequity that is caused by elitist tax dodgers and their privileged lifestyles. For instance around £100 billion of taxpayer money is given away to corporations in subsidies and corporate welfare annually, while those corporations cost us between £40-120 billion via corporate tax losses (the tax gap)...

  21. Sadly 7-32,000 have lost their lives in the Ukraine war, which is less than a quarter of the excess deaths recorded in the NHS during Tory austerity...

  22.  @mccari09  Firstly the Afghans coming here are allies - interpreters, specialists who worked with British troops on the ground. Secondly, 70,000 is also just under the amount of Afghan non-combatant civilians who died in the Afghan war the west started to loot the $1 trillion in lithium and gold, the opium farms and secure the petrodollar.

  23.  @mccari09  'To Loot' was the phrase I used not the past tense. Also, look for the United States Geological Survey and the words Afghanistan and $1 trillion. Predominantly Gold and Lithium.

  25. Neoliberalism is re-emerging globally as a fledgeling fascist Phoenix, rising from the ashes of the 1940s and feeding on the diseased rancid teat of capitalism and just like in the 40s is feeding the fire of global conflict... Never forget eh?

  27.  Cardinal Sin  I'm not allowed as I'm not a country (at least last time I looked). But if I was a bank under Fractional Reserve Banking I'd only need 10% of the assets I loan out to people as collateral. Unfortunately, I'm not a bank either...

  28.  Cardinal Sin  Follows the Fed model these days, but the BoE was nationalised in 1946 by the Attlee government, Pity it wasn't still nationalised.
    1
  29.  Cardinal Sin  Yes the Fed Model. Since the loss of the gold standard money isn't backed by a physical resource. Since fractional reserve banking, up to 90% of the money is fractionally created and only exists on computers. Global debt is 3x global GDP its a farce :)

  34. Less than 700 hundred desperate migrants fleeing war and persecution shouldn't be sensationalized to appeal to the xenophobes... Record high for 2022? seriously? no wonder the Tories are still in power with headlines like these to whip up support for their failed agenda... Under the Tories, immigration has increased dramatically, almost as if they're doing this on purpose!!!

  35. What's the problem? who hasn't infiltrated a political party, started a war based on lies and taken money from S.Arabia to cover up their genocide in Yemen? I think it's fair to say we all have at one time or another...

  37.  @surquhart64  I'm not a fan of "divine right to rule" or kleptocratic politicians. Neither am I a fan of wealthy benefactors with hidden motivations. Corruption seems just as rife in Jamaica as it is here in Britain. My apologies but I'm not all that familiar with Jamaican politics, however becoming independent is something I would also consider for Wales, Scotland and a United Ireland. Having a Royal Family is like owning a really expensive breed of dog that only eats gold, can't do any tricks, has an expensive medical condition due to inbreeding, barks and growls at you when you approach and then shits all over your house... and lives for centuries...

  38. Democracy = corporations lobbying MPs to turn a blind eye to the extinction of the species, those who have no voice in the system that failed them who decide to take action get arrested. Absolute farce...

  39.  @summerbankboy  Low wages, 1/3rd of the workforce in working poverty, NHS crippled by cuts, outsourcing, overpriced contracts and privatization. Energy cartels, banking monopolies and the largest enabler of corporate tax fraud globally. Laughing stock on the world stage and the pound has recently sunk to 1.23 US dollars making imports 8-9% more expensive...

  40.  @summerbankboy  As per usual the rags to riches story. Even if it's true it's an exception to the rule. Statistics clearly prove my points, your anecdotal story is expected and irrelevant... Thatcher used a Pinochet inspired attack on the unions, and workers' rights to pave the way for privatisation. Zero hour contracts, minimum wage, working poverty and food banks are our rewards... Statistically speaking!
    1
  41.  @summerbankboy  Thatcher ruined the steel and coal mining industry. Your personal anecdote doesn't not trump statistics. In the 70s one wage could feed and house a family, you had free university, a fully funded NHS, decent pensions, job security, and no privatisation. Now we have privatization, low wages, working poverty and food banks. Corbyn's manifesto won on individual policies in blind polls, he lost because he was character assassinated by the right-wing media...

  42.  @lemdixon01  Labour has historically represented the people, but that ended when Blair won and dropped clause 4. Since the 80s Labour leaders have been promoted by lobbyists to provide a safe alternative for corporations no matter who won. With one notable exception. Global billionaires are not communists or philanthropists, the people making the decisions are and always have been right-wing billionaires... If they were true left-wing or actual philanthropists they wouldn't still be billionaires...

  48.  @avenue8822  So your primary concern is race, yet if I called you a race ist you cry foul... My point is simply that whatever they say it is, it is just as likely to be a false flag masquerading as that...

  50. A president who is a corporate stooge and friend to the status-quo is a perfect target for the far right. The far-right will offer change and people may very well take that offer as opposed to the status quo. It's sad that there are no decent options for people to choose from in a system so corrupt. Here we go again just like in 1914...
