  1. CONGRATULATION ON A MEANINGFUL DISCUSSION and not 20 minutes on "Was Charles right to get angry with a pen"

  2.  @HamnaTabuu  - Almost entirely down to EU membership IMO - 75% down to EU membership. The country switched to a long term view, an investment in infrastructure and education view of life from the "lets get through the next crisis" view it had had since communism ended. We have brand new battery electric busses here - when the fuel prices skyrocketed they got out the old not yet sold off diesel buses and doubled the amount of public transport and took it as an opportunity to get people out of their cars. They did not put up the fairs - flat rate 70p no matter the length of the ride. This is how they tend to think here since joining the EU. IMO it was not just the economics of the EU that helped, but a new mindset it gave people. They have tried very hard to modernise without westernising.

  3. I HAVE NOT LIVED IN THE UK FOR 14 YEARS And its been total hell for me just watching - God knows what it must have been like living it...
    71
  4. Im a Brit that moved to Bulgaria in 2009. It was honestly pretty backwards. Many dirt roads and horse and carts were a common sight. Now the country is miles ahead of the Uk and the average standard of living is different - but higher. Its hard to compare like for like as the society is so different. But the average person here has a much better life than the average in the UK.

  5. 100% THIS IS WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO if he was a decent human being - he would not be a Tory MP
    54
  6. YOU GUYS CAN ONLY DREAM OF SQUARE ONE square one is a FANTASY paradise compared to where you are right now 50% lower national debt, almost no NHS waiting lists, everything worked, wages going up, Average UK house price £150k, interest rate 0%. YOU WILL NEVER SEE THIS AGAIN IN YOUR LIFE
    51
  7. I ASSURE YOU ITS WAY LESS THAN £10 MILLION they would be ok with racism for £50
    48
  8. THE GREAT TRAGEDY IS the more intelligent you are, the more you understand what is happening, the more you have read history, economics and politics... The closer to tears you are about the state of the UK today. This situation is NOT rescuable, there will be 15 years of unimaginable pain and suffering.

  9.  @jaisriram295  QUOTE "what personal freedom have they taken away" FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT ACROSS THE EU - FREEDOM OF PROTEST They are quite important freedoms people used to have.

  10. Crazies dont go away - you can give them nothing or you can give them everything - they will still keep coming and asking for more - they are crazies

  11. IF YOU VOTED TORY you voted for this - I hope you enjoy it...! IF YOU VOTED BREXIT you voted for this - I hope you enjoy it...!

  12. I was on a long holday in 2010 when they got elected - I never came back. BEST decision I have ever made, and Im not known for my good decisions as a rule.

  13. I listened to a podcast on the history of the British Fascist movement in the 1930's - I was struck by how moderate they were compared with the right wing of the Tory party today

  14. he has to be more radical in office if only because its not possible by the laws of physics to be LESS radical than he is in opposition
    19
  15. Im a Brit living in Bulgaria - the life of the average Bulgarian is significantly better than the life of the average Brit. Its not even close - a 20 year old nurse can afford their own apartment and nights outs
    15
  16. This was my comment: COMPLETELY FLAWED LOGIC you have 8 years of people turning 18 - approximately 1 million per year @ 80%+ remain = 60% of 8 million = 4.8 million at 70% turnout = 3.36 MILLION Extra Eamain voters.
    14
  17. IM AN AUTHOR writing a book called 1930 - its about the UK in 50 years where there is an upper class and a total under class - the divider was "did you own a house in 2022" The upper class no longer have to work, they own all the housing stock and they have decided to live permanently in 1930 with stem trains and compulsory cricket on Sundays. England is a kind of 1930's Disney world pastiche, with the poor people enslaved to 200 year rental contracts they are born into, part of their duties are to perform the roles of blacksmith and milk maid etc for the amusement of the rich property owners.
    13
  18. I DONT LIKE STARMER but he is a strategic genius - HE brought down Bojo over 18 months, HE let Sunak tie himself to the £2,000 whilst having a letter that proved it a LIE Maybe its wishful thinking, but I cant imagine he is going all this very long term strategic planning to get into power - but does NOT actually have a grand plan for when he gets there, We will all find out shortly.
    12
  19. I was on £65k in 2002 But that same job only pays £52k on average now when it would have to be £110 to keep up with inflation. I dont live there any longer thank God. But automation and the lowering of technology costs have made that incredibly technical job more mundane and the industry less profitable. A technology we used to sell for £10k in 1995. £2,500 in 2002 is now £250. This is a national trend in all British jobs.
    12
  20. @renideo - Very true - the only thing I would add as a British person living in Bulgaria, what one considers extreme is incredibly subjective. 25% of people here flat out vote communist. And today I spoke to an OK guy in America who thinks the republican party is slightly right of centre. So where I would differ with your explanation is not so much the political positions the "extremists" take, but the dogmatic way they hold the opinions. I an now - having live in Bulgaria 14 years - a communist. But I am a big supporter of the house of lords cos it works pretty well, I prefer King Charles to President Boris Johnson and the royal family I dont care too much about cos we spend 3 X as much on art galleries. so politically I am extreme left - but I am in no way dogmatic and puritanical about it. New labour were neoliberal shills and the Iraq war I marched against - but I would swap them tomorrow for ANY tory govt. Its the nut jobs on either side that cause the problems. The "I wont vote for Starmer cos he was nasty to Corbyn" types who would literally rather see another 5 years of the tories... And they exist by the thousand.
    11
  21. I live in Bulgaria - not a rich country - but the life of the ordinery person here is IMESURABLY better than that of the average British person - cos EVERYTHGIN WORKS...! NO waiting lists for dentists, doctors, NHS, Free school meals, brant bew electric busses every 7 minutes at 70p for the day I can go on. Its a functioning society that invests in new thngs all the time.
    11
  22.  @Whiskah  I can't begin to imagine how worn down people must be, just relentless sh!t that never ends.
    11
  23. YES...!!! I live in Bulgaria - the quality of life of the average "poor" Bulgarian is a BETTER life than that of the bottom 25% of the UK

  24. This was my comment - it relates to yours: £60 MILLION FOR APPRENTICESHIPS - STOP LIVING IN 1980 The UK needs to invest £4 TRILLION in buildings and infrastructure over the next 10 years £553 BILLION is needed for new schools alone. The UK state has not spent ANYTHING on infrastructure of maintenance since 1975 - 50 YEARS of ZERO investment. Stop talking as if £60 million means anything, or £28 billion for green stuff will make ANY difference - its 2024! ONE SEWER in London cost £5 Billion - you all live in 1980's numbers £1 million is PENNIES today ---!--- None of these commentators can get a grip on the scale of the problem, they all grew up when £60 million was a lot of money and £1 billion an unimaginable amount. So they hear £60 million invested and they give CREDIT, then Sunak might as well throw hot pennies on the floor for us to scrabble for like the rich used to in the 1850's
    10
  25. I'm an author on psychology and the collapse of civilisations. The collapse of the Uk is 13 years of Tory underinvestment in infrastructure, systems, institutions, and Brexit. Exogenous shocks like Covid in Ukraine just exaggerate the situation and hit way harder due to the other issues. The UK will suffer 20 years of decline and stagnation before any serious recovery.
    10
  26. AT THE MOMENT I HATE STARMER but I hate the Tories more - I hope to God he is just doing this so as not to be torn apart by the right wing media and when in power he will be different.

  27. But they think they did - like they thing they fought in the war

  28. Why isn't that person YOU...? Unless decent normal people go into politics, it will never change.

  29.  @alien4422  You're wrong and quoting stereotypes not facts. 69.8% of 18 to 24 year olds voted in the GE in Poland YOU may be from a politically disengaged youth, but Gen Z are not - they vote.

  30. EXACTLY

  31. It was a game of tactical escalations and over reactions. Hamas did a terrible thing knowing Isreal would over react and look bad, lose support. Get the struggle on the front page of every newspaper in the world. Israel over reached, but Israel made a MASSIVE miscalculation - which is driven by what this guys says* - Israel decided to over react SO MUCH it would drag Iran and Lebanon into the war and it could have a regional conflict, America would pay for it and America would fight it. And Iran and America said "Na, were not doing that" [America likes to lose small wars to it irrelevant countries, which provide massive subsidies for the arms industry but fighting Iran would be a nation bankrupting event] * the reason Israel made this gamble is changing demographics in America - 76% of Gen Z and Millenials support Palestine and 4 million Boomers cash their last pension check every year. As this guy said - Iran and Lebanon dont believe in the existence of Israel LONG TERM. Israel exists cos America protects it - in 15 years America will NO LONGER protect it - and now Iran and Lebanon have a slaughter of 2023 to avenge. Israel made the mother of all miscalculations - it won't exist in 20 years unless it can get a UN-mandated and monitored peace very quickly - which it won't cops its run by psychop[aths.

  32. AND literally, no one will feel any benefit of the interest rates coming down. If you got your fixed rate last week - you are on that for another 2 or 5 years. If you get it next month well you are moving off 1% to 5% - just cost ist now 6% does NOT make you happy

  33. COMPLETELY FLAWED LOGIC you have 8 years of people turning 18 - approximately 1 million per year @ 80%+ remain = 60% of 8 million = 4.8 million at 70% turnout = 3.36 MILLION Extra Eamain voters.

  39.  @TinaButcher-r6m In the UK 40,047,930 people have been vaccinated - a 40% death rate would be 16 million

  40. 35ºC IN MY LIVING ROOM here in Bulgaria, 42ºC outside - if you look at a heat map of the earth the jet stream has broken down - that's why you guys in the UK are so cold BUT - if it does not start back up again - you have a -25ºC winter ahead of you...!!!
    5
  41. I EMAILED KIA STARMER THIS MORNING and told him how sh!t he is and how shockingly disappointed I am in everything he has done - I suggest others do the same One letter will make no difference but a flood telling him he is sh!t and he will lead to a Reform victory if he does not radically improve the UK - it might just get through to him.

  42.  @ljt3084 Very true...!!!

  43. Yeah lets have a fascist country

  44. And how are the vast majority of people supposed to do that in collapsing sh!t hole Britain with an average salary of £32k...??? I dont live there any longer but I was on £65k in 2002. But that same job only pays £52k on average now when it would have to be £110 to keep up with inflation.

  47. HERE IN BULGARIA the average wage was 400 leva a month when I arrived in 2009 - its now 2000 leva a month = 24k a year You can buy a small house for modernising for 25k. Small modernised house 50k. Small new apartment 50k. Large new luxury apartment 200k [All in Bg Leva £1= 2.2 leva]

  48.  Average Everyday Non-Sociopath  "Why are you copy/pasting this same comment into every thread?" because I want to and you cant stop me "You're an author of one thing, and one thing only - spam." sadly for you - I don't validate my existence by what irrelevant nothings on the internet think You are claiming to be a non-sociopath - Im not so sure of that.

  51. NO ONE IS VOTING FOR STARMER they are voting to make the pain go away...

  52. NO - the UK is suffering "Tory government" its always like this - thats why I left the day they got elected - cos I knew this was coming.

  55.  @baronvonlimbourgh1716  Yeah - the UK does not invest in infrastructure or R&D.

  57. THIS GUY IS SO BAD you should never NEVER have him on to discuss political generational statistics - PEOPLE ARE BECOMING MORE LEFT WING AS THEY AGE NOW...!!! Not "getting more conservative but a little bit" A BIG SHIFT to the LEFT

  58. Im now anti-monarchy cos I think its cruel and unusual punishment upon the royals...

  59.  @alanhat5252  - Well I have taken this time to learn about the royal family a little more, Im not a Royalist at all. But I like to be educated. The story of the early life of the Queen nearly had me in tears. She wanted to live in the countryside and be a farmer. She hated Buck Palace, which apparently is still very cold and drafty now but was horrible in the 1930's. she had to leave all her friends at 10 and go live there. Apparently her time in the ATS was the happiest of her life, she felt like she was part of something, not alone and isolated... I dont thnk we should have a family we treat as our national private property, we get to comment on their every move and they get no say in any of this. I dont think they are privileged, I think they are cursed.

  60.  @alanhat5252  - Well they ahve left the Houses of Parliament to all but falling down status haven't they...??? Its not like the cost of maintenance is poured down the toilet - it pays crafts person wages

  61. BRITAIN SHOULD HAVE STAYED NEUTRAL IN WW2 is an argument - not one I agree with - but I am NOT keen on this "sacred cow" approach that subjects are off limits to discussion If his argument is so patently WRONG, then explain WHY his argument is wrong - dont lose it that he made the point and offer no rebuke. I can come up with 10 reasons thats a bad idea - if you cant you are either not doing your job OR his point is valid and you are blocking the debate in a Stalinesque manner

  62. LITERALLY NO ONE will feel any benefit of the interest rates coming down. If you got your fixed rate last week - you are on that for another 2 or 5 years. If you get it next month well you are moving off 1% to 5% - just cost its now 6% does NOT make you happy

  65.  @julianshepherd2038  I dont like GG I dont agree with 80% of what he stands for - but he is ASTONISHING at exposing the hypocrisy of the ruling elites and their cosy relationship where they dont ask the tough questions and argue about trivia...!!! He is going to rip new ones all round especially Sir K and Mr S
    3
  66.  @Lee_303  - You are correct, but I'm trying to keep it simple. The UK has not invested enough since WW2 - but the big impact on the current state of play is the last 13 years. I watched a video on the new bike parking at the train station in Amsterdam yesterday - its amazing, the UK just does NOT do that. They built the bike parking UNDER the maria so they could have more water [nice] and more boats [nice] and lots more bike parking - 7,000 spaces in ONE of the three bike parks at this train station. Netherlands 4.3% increase in GDP 2022. UK 0.3% in 2022.

  67.  @ronagoodwell2709  Well their central bank is not artificially pumping the stock market.

  68. IM AN AUTHOR on the collapse of civilisations - the UK has reached "Interconnected cascading system failure" Everything is broken and everything you need to fix it is also broken - its THE END EDIT - Labour cant fix this - its unrecoverable.
    2
  69. I wrote this earlier: THERE ARE NO QUICK SOLUTIONS no amount of Labour is going to fix this - THIS IS COLLAPSE - Technically it is sigmoid collapse and the UK is now in the near vertical "freefall" part of that. You are experiencing cascading systems failure - everything is broken and everything you need to fix it is also broken. This period of collapse usually lasts about 10 years followed by 5 years of stagnation and then recovery starts. You can invest hundreds of billions £ into the infrastructure, education, science but its going to take 15 years just to START having an effect. The UK will also have to rejoin the EU before recovery can happen. I write books on this stuff and this is a severe "fourth turning" collapse. They happen every 80 to 100 years and this is an exceptionally bad one. The UK is going to have to invest £500 billion if not £1 trillion and totally reinvent its political and governing structures. The Britain that emerges from this depression will NOT be even recognisable - this is the collapse of the USSR moment for the UK.
    2
  70. PEOPLE IN THE UK SIMPLY HAVE TO ACCEPT it is collapsing - and no Labour can not save it. It has reached "interconnected cascading systems failure" Thatcher hollowed out the manufacturing + 13 years of austerity and no investment + Brexit = collapse. War in Ukraine and Covis are just the final nails in the already closed coffin. The UK faces 20 YEARS of poverty and stagnation before it even starts to recover. Poland and Slovenia have passed the UK for average standard of living. In the next 5 years, Romanina and Bulgaria will pass the UK You simply CAN NOT inflict this much will full damage to a country and it survive. Scotland will separate and join the EU - which will pump money in to rescue it. Ireland will join wiht NI. Dont know what Wales will do but it will devolve further and England will just become a bottom tier 2nd world country.

  71. THE TOREIS STARTED a culture war skip fire as a distraction - its got out of control and now its burning their house down

  73. THIS IS ALL ARGUING ABOUT THE DECKCHAIRS ON THE TITANIK....!!! Britain ins utterly bankrupt and in freefall collapse and no amount of Labour will fix it. Labour are complicit in not talking about it as they know they will be in power in a few months and THEY will have the problem. The Tories have hollowed out the Uk like the Oligarchs hollowed out the Russian army. To give you an idea - YOU NEED TO SPEND £293 BILLION ON NEW SHCOOLD NOW...!!! And thats jsut schools - you have not built or maintained anything since 1975 --> And you have been living by selling off the things you had - and now you have NOTHING LEFT except the broken sh!t no one wants to buy. This is the UK's 1991 USSR moment. NOTHING Labour can do can save you. The UK is a completely broken basket case in the middle of freefalll collapse and you are arguing about protestors - why? WHY? Cos both parties know there will be food riots in the future - protests on a scale you have never seen - THATS WHY THE PROTEST BANS ARE GOING THROUGH AND WHY LABOUR ARE NOT OPPOSING THEM...!!!

  74.  @realhorrorshow8547 ALLOW ME TO EXPAND Britain is utterly bankrupt and in freefall collapse and no amount of Labour will fix it. Labour are complicit in not talking about it as they know they will be in power in a few months and THEY will have the problem. The Tories have hollowed out the Uk like the Oligarchs hollowed out the Russian army. To give you an idea - YOU NEED TO SPEND £293 BILLION ON NEW SHCOOLD NOW...!!! And thats just schools - you have not built or maintained anything since 1975. The total bill for things that NEED replacing in the next 10 years is over £1.5 Trillion and you are arguing about £28 billion for green stuff as if that wil make any difference to anything. You have been living by selling off the things you had, the companies, the utilities, the council houses, the victorian schools and hospitals, the school playing fields - and now you have NOTHING LEFT except the broken sh!t no one wants to buy and NEEDS maintaining or replacing - 38% of the UK public buildings are PAST their usable live and 3.3% more go past that every year cos you only build 30 year life buildings. 300 Council homes evacuated in Aberdeen - this will be a WEEKLY thing over the next 10 years as unusable buildings start to collapse. This is the UK's 1991 USSR moment. NOTHING Labour can do can save you. The UK is a completely broken basket case in the middle in freefall collapse and you are arguing about protestors - why? WHY? Cos both parties know there will be food riots in the future - protests on a scale you have never seen - THATS WHY THE PROTEST BANS ARE GOING THROUGH AND WHY LABOUR ARE NOT OPPOSING THEM...!!! Labour want the protest bans JUST as much as Sunak cos they are going to be VERY handy when there are 2 million in London demanding food...!!! You have 10 to 15 years of continued collapse and increasing hardship before things start to improve. Im an author on psychology and the collapse of civilisations - this is my job.

  75.  @montvydasklumbys7584  " When the air gets INSIDE the house it warms up " you have never been in a British house have you? Warms up? You are having a laugh.
    2
  76.  @montvydasklumbys7584  - "I had moment, where this winter it was 12 degrees in my flat," this sounds exceptionally British the problem here is Britain built 70% of its housing when it was the richest country on the planet and had unlimited coal to burn and no one knew burning it was a bad idea. The houses were incredibly well built FOR THE TIME. And for the fuel / heating system at the time. Since then the UK has dropped very significantly in wealth. We stopped maintaining the houses, we switched to central heating, we didn't upgrade the housing stock and we are a victim of the quality of the houses we built at the time. In most of the world 150 year old houses have fallen down or rotted away or been eaten by termites. The problem is the walls of the average UK house contain a LOT of water in a kind of hydrostatic balance achieved over the last 70 years or so since the cola fires went out. You mess with that balance and you get all sorts of problems from the plaster falling off inside to the roof beams cracking to the walls cracking. You put new windows in to stop the draft and you get mould. You put a dehumidifier in to stop the mould your roof beams crack... The UK has a problem is has nothing like the money to fix, it cant even pay nurses let alone spend tens of thousands per old property bringing them up to modern speck. It would actually have been better if we built crap houses that fell down after 75 years...

  84. STARMERS LEGACY WILL BE FASCISM he is going to fail completely in rebuilding the UK - he has neither the £££ nor the vision, but he has TOTALLY destroyed the left. So when the electorate is angry and disappointed they can NOT turn to the left, they have only one place to go and that is fascism in the form of Farage

  87.  @alanhat5252  " chosen the name Charles III, it emphasizes the history & is a permanent reminder. Parliamentarians will be forced to say the name "King Charles" repeatedly." YES - I agree - I also think he will be a lot more vocal wiht his opinions on policy than we have been used to...

  88.  @alanhat5252  - Apparantly its so damp they cant dry it our or everything will crack - my sister has the same problem. Her house was built in about 1745 and they desperately want to insulate the walls but they cant alter the hydrostatic balance. You have to dry the thing out over about 20 years, they are thinking of just removing all the plaster off interior walls in one go to get it done. Its not like its a listed building - its a converted cow shed.
    2
  89. THE BRUTAL REALITY IS - BRITAIN IS COLLAPSING and there is nothing anyone can do to stop that now it has gone too far - so they cant face reality, they have to argue about BS To stop the collapse you need to spend £4 TRILLION - not to rebuild, just to stop the collapse. £550 billion on new schools over 10 years. £700 billion on repairing roads. £50 Billion to clear the NHS backlog. Just for starters.

  90. YEP - YOU ARE CORRECT its always the lawyers that start the revolution... YEP - YOU ARE CORRECT it will not go back to "normal" after a Labour win, normal no longer exists for Britain... There will be either whole scale reform of ever part of society, OR there will be revolution.

  91.  @skymanifest8339 NO he was lying - Starmer had blackmailed him and he needed an excuse. If you are worried over MP's safety you call the police or MI5 - you dont alter parliamentary business if you did the IRA would have got a united Ireland in the 80's.

  98. Why should Iran give up its religious leaders just to satisfy you, what's to say you are correct and they are wrong? Vast chunks chunks of the world believe that America and Europe are the ones in the wrong. So it could equally be argued that there won't be peace in the Middle East until the West pulls out and takes it Israeli colonial settler proxy with it. "The Mullahs are a cruel and despicable regime. " Installed by America to protect Anglo American oil interests.

  99.  @ashroskell  What in my reply ever led you to think I took it personally? I was baffled and confused. "“Not really,” what?" Your entire OP, comment, its just a verbose word salad of general observations with no actual insight into anything. You started off by saying "Historically, Labour gave up after Neil Kinnock and started..." implying that the idea is to acquire an understanding of why the left has little direction and changes it frequently and loses it way, I tried to assist with this [pointing out it is a systemic problem]. But having re-read it I now see this was NOT your purpose, your purpose was to demonstrate your depth and breadth of knowledge to the admiring public. I now understand our confusion.

  100. THIS IS COLLAPSE OF THE USSR LEVEL FOR BRITAIN no amount of Labour is going to fix this - THIS IS COLLAPSE - the near vertical "freefall" part of that collapse. You are experiencing cascading systems failure - everything is broken and everything you need to fix it is also broken. This period of collapse usually lasts about 10 years followed by 5 years of stagnation and then recovery starts. You can invest hundreds of billions £ into the infrastructure, education, science but its going to take 15 years just to START having an effect. The UK will also have to rejoin the EU before recovery can happen. I write books on this stuff and this is a severe "fourth turning" collapse. They happen every 80 to 100 years and this is an exceptionally bad one. The UK is going to have to invest £500 billion if not £1 trillion and totally reinvent its political and governing structures. The Britain that emerges from this depression will NOT be even recognisable - this is the collapse of the USSR moment for the UK.

  122.  @jakel8627  No he is not nuts, he is mostly correct. Personally, I think the era of capitalism its self is over globally, but that aside neoliberalism has destroyed the working people of the west. the ONLY hope for saving capitalism is a reimagining of it along the lines of American New Deal only with more regulation and even more investment in especaily green tech. Personally, I think its over for the west. The reporting on the BRICS+ summit was notable by what it didnt say, American hegemony ended 2 at the summit. The world is a new world facing very new challenges. Britain is a flea on the arse of the world, the fastest collapsing country in a declining west.

  148.  @papachis9535  "Interest rates went up from 6% to 16%". on your £20k mortguage...? " The mortgage was crippling and I survived on Pot Noodles". YOU HAD A MORTGAGE - YOU COUL;D AFFORD A HOUSE this is typical boomer thinking, I had it slightly tough so kids to day are axiomatically better off. THEY CANT GET A MORTGUAGE - they dont have the LUXURY of eating pot noodles to pay the mortgage cos a mortgage is completely unaffordable. Your house was what? 2.5 X your salary 3X. Its now 9 to 15 X Im 53, so Im between both of you - I know that you guys had it easer than we did, and the kids today have it MUCH MUCH harder. Now does that mean that everyone had it easy - obviously not. My father was an engineer at a power station and they were going to buy that £2,500 house and then he got injured at work, we moved into a little rented house next to my grandparents so they could help look after the kids and one thing led to another my father's injury stopped him ever getting back to work - 15 years of a legal battle to get compensation - I went to school in black trash bags too poor to afford coats. We never moded out of that rented house and my inheritance will be £0.00p. YES people had hard times. That house, the Mount it was called sold last year for £1.2 million. But for ONE accident my family would have been GIFTED BY FORTUNE £1,997,500 pure profit. YOU as a boomer generation had it the easiest of ANY generation in history - that is an objective fact. BOOMERS DID NOT WORK HARD FOR THEIR WEALTH - THEY WORKED HARD FOR THEIR LIVING - this is not the same thing. "Sometimes you have to walk in a mans shoes to understand his mind and experience." I guarantee you that 95% of Gen Z today would LOVE to walk in your shoes - would yu walk in theirs? Earning £25k and a house costing £300k??? £2,250 a month on rent. 3 yers salary = a DEPOSIT...???

  154.  @skyblazeeterno  Does it LOOK like I missed that..??? America is paying $4 Billion a year to Israel - a war with Iran and Lebanon would cost an estimated $30 Trillion over 10 to 15 years and America would ultimately lose. Iran is like Afghanistan on steroids - its one of the most mountainous countries in the world and it has an active military of over 1 million, and it is the world's largest manufacturer of military drones. America never switched to a peacetime economy after WW2 that's why is always in war - its economy collapses if it stops making bombs. But it likes small wars that drag on forever - they are a $1 trillion subsidy to the US economy every year. A war with Iran is a nation-bankrupting event. America fights wars for economic reasons - spending $1 million on a missile and blowing it up is a GREAT way to boost your economy and it does not contravene international trade laws like the Inflation Reduction Act does - $1.5 trillion subsidy to the green energy sector and the chip manufacturers - you see the EU immediately see that is an illegal subsidy and do their OWN illegal subsidy to maintain competitiveness. THAT is the problem with illegal subsidies - China will do the same and America has lost the benefit, but starting a war / funding a war is exempt from the trade rules. so NO I did not miss that.

War in Ukraine and Covis are just the final nails in the already closed coffin. The UK faces 20 YEARS of poverty and stagnation before it even starts to recover. Poland and Slovenia have passed the UK for average standard of living. In the next 5 years, Romania and Bulgaria will pass the UK You simply CAN NOT inflict this much will full damage to a country and it survive. Scotland will separate and join the EU - which will pump money in to rescue it. Ireland will join wiht NI.

" You’re commenting on the attitudes of voters, as you see them," NO Im not doing this in any way whatsoever, I never mentioned the attitude of voters. Im talking about the positions of the politicians and activists. In fact are you replying to me or have you tagged the wrong person, because this has nothing to do with what I said?
