  1. On which schoolyard did you train your rethorical skills?
  2. Ok. According to the tweet posted, the £ fell from 670 to 665, so the Labour is responsible for a fall of around 0.25%! 😁 Having said that, I have no idea wether the Labour will do better than the Tories or not., considering the current economic trend.
  3. The current "fall" is peanuts, compared to the post-referendum fall! https://www.poundsterlinglive.com/exchange-rate-index/#google_vignette
  4. And, of course, a lot of his fans will believe it! 🤣
  5. Data shows exactly the opposite of your claim. The 'left-wing' U.S. has been leading by far for post-Covid recovery, while the right-wing UK has been trailing other G7 countries (except Germany, for readons we know) https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02784/
  6. It's interesting to observe that two vassal states of China, Russia and NK, have forged an alliance which de-facto weakens their dependence on China.
  7. For those who may interested to have a look, here's the main website where so-called science sleuths usually post their critical comments. https://pubpeer.com/
  8. Yes, Russia is already doing business in this way by giving big discounts. I don't see any coherence. If It's in crypto money, they don't need a specific BRICS payment system. It can already be done without it. My comment was about "normal" exporters, ex. a company exporting from SA to Brazil. I doubt they are particularly interested in being paid in real or crypto, rather than being paid in USD.
  9. Right. Russia and China are keen about it. Now will "normal" exporters accept to be paid in Rubles and plenty of other currencies? That's another story. And anyway, as I said, there's no prospect of BRICS becoming a trade zone.
  10. Have other Thai politicians, elected or unelected, been any different?
  11. BRICS is mainly a forum, like G7. It's not a trade zone.
  12. Since the Tai Bak massacre, Thailand has been mainly governed by Shin's enemies, and the Judiciary has always been controlled by the yellow-green network.
  13. You obviously have no idea of this country! Algerian people are actually quite friendly and welcoming. They are also rather modern. Nothing to compare with Afghanistan, which is close to the Middle Ages on several aspects.
  14. https://www.foxnews.com/media/dr-oz-on-hydroxychloroquine-the-u-s-government-respects-that-reality Anyway that's not the point. Do you have evidence of the left saying shut up to critics published on the PubPeer website (It's the main one), or is it just your usual baseless rant?
  15. Your comment was a generalization. Do you have evidence of the left saying shut up to critics published on the PubPeer website (It's the main one), or is it just your usual baseless rant? Note: if you want, I can show evidence that Didier Raoult, widely praised by RW conspiracy nutters, tried to silence critics on PubPeer.
  16. Who on the left said shut up (literally or figuratively?) to the Science sleuths mentioned in the OP?
  17. The Science sleuths in this article have nothing to do with the usual Science conspiracy nutters on YT and social networks.
  18. U.S. treasury securities are considered as quite safe. Nothing to compare with the bad subprimes debt. The main risk is the $ exchange rate. There is no particular reason why the U.S. economy would be more at risk than the U.K economy. It's likely the opposite case. And if there's a crisis in the U.S., it will propagate to U.K. anyway.
  19. The use of the word "country" in the OP can be misleading. In some countries It's mainly the State buying U.S. debt (ex. China), in countries such as UK it's mainly private investors (banks, edge funds, companies, etc...)
  20. For the reason you just evoked. Some UK investors see it as a safer investment. In particular, the share of UK debt holders increased after the Brexit referendum.
  21. Because Republicans are desperate to substantiate the big lie, in the absence of any proof. So they do 'as if' there were a good reason! 😃
  22. Trump talked about bringing "papers that you would not believe", then goes word salad, then Rogan asked "are you goingbto present ever.." before being interrupted by more word salad. So what Trump asked to present?
