I see you are not disputing my argument that climate change will increase migration.

It’s a forecast, with no reference to where you dragged it out of. Oh and I see your Greta fixation got the better of you.

Ah, so you don’t understand how climate change might impact the supply of food for populations of any size.

Oh look another one of those accusation confession things.

It’s not simply a matter of mortgage defaults, while inevitably bringing with them misery, a bigger threat to the economy is contraction in business investment, undermining growth and adding to the already high SME failures. Non of which will help the underlying causes of UK inflation, supply side deficiencies. It will also worsen the UK economy’s already poor productivity. What a mess.

Well of course, a heavily armed mercenary army leaving its barracks and heading to within 200Km of Moscow is the ‘media blowing it out of all proportion’.

I suggest the usual suspects quell their rage against migrants and save some of their rage energy for the future. Climate change is going to drive a lot more human migration, don’t burn yourself out too early, you’ve got a lot more migration to be outraged over on the way.

The political impacts of rising interest rates are becoming clear: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jun/24/mortgage-rise-impact-will-dwarf-energy-bills-crisis-for-uk-homeowners

Roll on the elections.

Another ‘no smoke without fire’ argument.

Putin’s live broadcast statement in response was telling. The themes and rhetoric could very easily have been mistaken as having been scripted by a well known fascist.

Perhaps the Government should make an announcement that anyone driven into trouble with their mortgage or facing rent hikes as a result of the interest rate increases should take it on the chin as it’s all their own fault. I can see it winning votes.

You’ve just presented the ‘There’s no smoke without fire’ argument that would undoubtedly cause some to pay up.

Andrew Anglin, he of founding ‘The Daily Stormer’ fame is one. You’ll find more if you search ‘white supremicist, Asian women’ It’s a thing.

“The sub was built to withstand such pressure” Evidently not.

A meaningless statistic to people who’ve only had a mortgage in the past 10 - 15 years, and cold comfort to those already facing significantly higher mortgage payments, now or in the coming months. Added to which there are very many people renting in the private sector who are now facing higher rents because their landlord based their buy to rent business on low interest rates and is now passing the mortgage repayment rise to the tenants. All this with elections looming.

When non white English national football team players suffer online racial abuse after missing penalties l, is that an example of failure to integrate or assimilate?

There are too many examples of white supremacists married to or in relationships with Asian women for ‘aren’t most of us in mixed race marriages’ to be regarded as proof positive of being racist.

GOP policies on abortion weld in votes tgey slready have amongst rightwing religious extremists, but drives voted to Democrats amongst moderate swing voters. So do please keep talking about restricting the rights of half the nation to hold dominion over their own bodies, you know it makes sense.

Perhaps the GOP wish to expunge the fact that they twice had the opportunity to hold Trump to account but turned it down. Lay with a dog, get up with flees.

Perhaps it’s because racism is alive and well in the UK, not something that ‘has been dealt with’. Though I suspect on this forum the ability of members to observe and remember each others posting history might play a role in determining the views of those making posts on matters in which racism maybe present. Threads discussing immigrants, asylum seekers, ethic and religious groups are examples, posters who have comments removed that are overtly racist are a clue.

I should have bought a lottery ticket.

No need for an apology but much appreciates anyway. The reason the company were allowed to dodge certifications is because they are not compulsory. The CEO’s attitude to standards, safety and regulation is a matter of public and court record. Having himself died in the sub he won’t be putting anyone else at risk with his recklessness. RIP his victims.

Special treatment for the wealthy?! Like defunding the IRS so they can’t collect taxes from the wealthy?

That’s not a proof, it’s an allegation.
