The outcome of COVID + WAR + BREXIT is already impacting the UK economy. That is the present any it will continue into the future. The impacts of COVID and the WAR will diminish over time, the impacts of BREXIT will continue. The UK is in recession, the only nation in the G7 with an economy that has not recovered to pre-pandemic levels, the only nation to choose to have trade barriers against itself.

I don’t know any ‘Remainer’ who is claiming that all the UK’s problems are due to Brexit, I certainly never haven’t ( refer my post above in which I clearly state ‘VOVID + WAR + BREXIT’). I do however note you yourself frequently omit Brexit as a cause of economic problems in the UK.

No you don’t, you need only look at the economic data. The UK is in recession, the only nation in the G7 with an economy that has not recovered to pre-pandemic levels.

Did you miss math class when you were in school? COVID + WAR + BREXIT = Outcome A COVID + WAR + 0 = Outcome B Now rattle the old grey cells and see if you can spot which outcome will be more severe?

The subject of the thread is a Tory Peer receiving offshore payments of £29,000,000 derived from a contract awarded her under the Tory Government’s VIP scheme. Nothing at all to do with any other political party. Your ‘whataboutary’ is noted.

This is the worse than it seems. Not only has this Tory Peer pocketed £29,000,000 in profits paid offshore, but the profits arise from the delivery of PPE that was not fit for purpose, the actual bill to tax payers was hundreds of millions of pounds, with nothing useful obtained in return. And it gets worse. These hundreds of millions wasted on PPE supplied by a chum of Gove on Government orders was marked down as ‘NHS Budget’. Tory sleaze, lies and the Tory Chumocracy in full flow, while medical staff were getting sick and dying through a lack of suitable PPE.

The weapon of choice in mass shootings is? Let’s start there and skip the diversionary ‘all guns’ nonsense.

You don’t seem to understand the difference between accidental deaths and murder. Or perhaps you do but simply don’t care.

The reason I respond by pointing out your gross unsubstantiated pejorative generalized views of the UK’s poor (those you refer to as the lower classes’) is because your comments are indeed, gross, unsubstantiated, pejorative, generalizations. But you are correct, there is lots of information available from reliable sources online. I suggest you take a look at the following: https://www.jrf.org.uk/report/uk-poverty-2022 https://www.jrf.org.uk/our-work/this-is-poverty Make an effort to understand the issues rather than trotting out the pre-canned views you’ve been fed.

What’s missing is your evidence that the reason why people can’t afford to pay their bills or eat regular meals is they are spending their money as you claim or not working overtime/second jobs. You’ve simply made a gross and baseless generalization and followed that with reference to ‘lower classes’. Meanwhile you insist I don’t know you, which is correct, I don’t. I therefore do not make gross generalizations about English Teachers in Thailand and apply those to you. If I did you’d be perfectly entitled to be offended and/or call me out for making baseless generalizations.

The 111 service is there to do what it says on the tin, reduce visits to hospital A&E. People are going directly to A&E because they can’t get a GP appointment. Government’s target for GP appointments is 2 weeks, it was 2 days when they came into office. Access to GPs has collapsed after 12 years of Tory mismanagement and voters have taken note.

“ The same people you talk about probably spend a few hundred pounds a month on cigarettes, dope, booze, and take aways. Not to mention, their annual holiday to Spain for the whole family for two weeks that costs a few grand,” All baseless assumptions you need to dream up in order to make the rest of your views on the matter fit.

The lying lips you need to concern yourself with are those of Braverman and the other members of the Government who have once again failed to deliver on an election promise.

Trump has already claimed he doesn’t know Fuentes or anything about him.

Oddly none of the Government’s usual defenders are to be found in this thread.

Just link the source. Its easy.

He also said: "But we must adjust to a different reality and are therefore exiting the UK market from a value-added perspective. This is a difficult decision, but I believe it is the right one. We are committed to our main stakeholders and maintain our commitment to run a profitable business within the European value-added seafood industry." So all the COVID/Ukrainian war issues seem not to impact business in Europe but are an insurance in the UK. There is an irony in ‘Kippers’ voting for the route of the British fishing industry.

No ’sunny uplands’ for the UK’s fishing industry I see: "We came out of the EU we had three vessels operating in the distant waters and by the end of this year will we now be down to one," https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-humber-63676965 https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/news/grimsby-news/landmark-grimsby-seafood-factory-closing-7838339

What woke nonsense? And how does it relate to the strikes that are the subject of this thread?

Incorrect, the options you outline are all results of the collapse of as needed patient appointments with GPS. All cost considerably more to run than a GP appointment and the outcome is the patient will eventually be referred back to their GP we’re they should have been in the first place.

That’s back when the wait time for a GP appointment was 2 days or less, it’s now 2 weeks or more and getting worse.

The article discusses the ‘best countries to retire in’, not the best countries to retire too.

Why does anyone ever expect anything different, Tories are going to Tory. It was sleaze that brought the last Tory run in Government to an end, and here they are at it again.

I can think of no better way to convince people they want something than to have someone they already distrust tell them they can’t have it.

Some friendly advice, and it’s free. Don’t send him any of your money.
