I don't know what's going to happen, and suspect nobody else does either. As long as I have enough money to live out the rest of my life in comfort (40kbht/month), nothing else really matters to me.

I used to work for a company that employed a lot of wokes, they couldn't do any of the work required but they looked great on the 'affirmative action' statistics. At one point it was hard to get the work done, as there were too few people employed on their merits. Couldn't even use them to run errands as that would have upset them. They all got a generous salary, but they were hardly workers.

I changed at 42.7 yesterday and was quite happy with that. Looking forward to my 10.1% pension increase now.

I think a lot of them were employed to push the previous owners woke, anti-Trump agenda. Obviously Mr. Musk doesn't want them around any more.

You may live in that reality, but I don't.

He's good at making money, does Twitter really need all that many staff? This IMHO is removing the chaff, and maybe an asset stripping exercise. Or maybe he's just bought it to close it in a revenge scenario for hurting his feelings.

10% won't buy my vote for the Tories ........ I'd need 100% more!

The standard of living for the average UK citizen has declined since the year 2000 IMHO. I was only there until 2009, but since then my pals tell me it's only got worse. Obviously the globalists are only interested in connecting the decline with Brexit, but in reality the pushing for globalism/climate change/green energy/multiculturalism is the reason for the decline of western civilisation.

Wokes are neither workers or owners. As for abusive work conditions, I always took the payoffs to leave, new job next day, and cash in my pocket.

Good way to clear out the wokes.

Brit women aren't a race, I'm not a racist and don't use Thai racial slurs when talking about white folk. Not to mention I don't really care who people are or what people are doing when at an airport.

My plants always flower when big enough under natural light, no matter what the season. No point in posting links, most people on cannabis forums/thread have never grown themselves. As for growing outdoors in Thailand, Dead loss this year, sudden storms, violent winds, cheap Thai seeds = nothing. My seeds from the UK, tent at night, outside in pots during the day are doing fine. Last nights storm almost did for the flowering plants I left outside, pulled them inside looking very sad and droopy, but they seem to have recovered this morning. 50% shade or the leaves curl up ...........

I always shop alone!

Nah, more to do with interest rates. US has higher interest rates so all the big boys moved their money to the US. Obviously that isn't so true with the 3rd world.

I can't say I'm that bothered, my shopping isn't that interesting.

Story suggests he fell off a cliff.

I go to bed early and get up at dawn, best time of the day IMHO.

Weird statement, do you feel all white folk are one people? Can't say I pay much attention to what other people are doing, no matter what their racial background.

Power cuts don't affect my mobile phone. Promptpay is widely used and pays their mobile number (not their cash till). The phone towers have backup power supplies.

And a 10.1% state pension rise announced for April.

"Paul Johnson, director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank, said: "Surging global energy prices have made the UK a poorer country." The biggest downturn I can see coming (for all the west) are the potential grid failures this winter. Too many fossil fuel power stations being turned off! And the 'surging global energy prices' are as the story suggested ........ global! "Energy and food bills have shot up due to the war in Ukraine and pandemic, and are squeezing household budgets." This is an EU wide problem, not just the UK. "This is likely to be a relatively shallow recession for the economy as a whole - but for households, it will mean the wipeout of gains in living standards, a return to 2014." Some of the statements are just odd, IMHO living standards in the UK have been dropping since the year 2000, I certainly wouldn't have picked 2014 as the pinnacle of UK living standards. While the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer. What the world needs is a major redistribution of wealth, not another 'austerity' programme for the poor.

You've misunderstood Darwin. It's the most suitable for the current situation that survive which is entirely different to 'the best'. Currently in the west, it'll be those with the highest reproduction rates that will inherit those countries.

I'd like them to name the countries with 6% lower inflation than the UK. It ain't Europe, the claim 8%+ inflation. It ain't Oz, they've got 10% inflation, same as UK.

I've got the same scale!

Stamp in my passport says I'm not an immigrant.
