‘If’ and ‘I think’.

They make even more money when they are ‘given the nod’.

Well, perhaps not surprisingly, your wild assumption doesn’t answer my question,

All 12 in the ‘real crime’ section.

The last time the pound tanker like this it ended the retirement/life in Thailand dreams of many British expats. Tanking the pound has real negative consequences for people living in Thailand on income from the UK and of course for the millions in the UK already struggling with the cost of living crisis. A tanking pound absolutely does make a difference.

What was it a week ago?

If you’ve not already done it, you’re too late already. But some where quick to the ‘party’ (Pun intended). The UK Government’s mini budget of last week has tanked the pound; just what the nation needs in a cost of living crisis. But it’s not bad news for everyone, by example, there are others, Crispin Odey ( he who made a vast fortune betting against Sterling during Brexit) is again raking it in. One could be forgiven for thinking there’s method in this madness, where the UK Government enacts policies that depreciate Sterling while significant donors to the Tory Party take in fortunes with by timely shorting the very same currency. People living in Thailand on income from the UK are now getting a shade under ฿39/£1. https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/odeys-hedge-fund-soars-145-bets-against-uk-bonds-sources-2022-09-22/

I don’t like Cheney, but she’s the only Republican left with balls.

I’m calling this rightwing, MAGA attempt to denigrate President Biden for what it is, ‘Projection’. Give me a shout when Biden comes down the steps of Air-force 1, then wanders off aimlessly until his staff bring him back. Let me know if you catch Biden saluting North Korean Generals, or praising despots. I certainly want to know if Biden is carted off to hospital in the middle of the night for a cognition test, or if members of his administration seriously start discussing enacting the 25th Amendment. And I’ll definitely be interested if Biden starts claiming he can execute Presidential authority simply by thinking about it. I do however draw the line at being presented with credible photographic evidence suggestive of Biden wearing adult diapers, that would put me off my morning Covfefe.

And what exactly is the problem with that?

Rightwing hate is an international brand - who knew?!

I watched AG James’ announcement from start to finish. She didn’t look or sound like someone ‘oozing desperation’.

The interest rates are set to control inflation. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has just released tens of billions of pounds back into the economy which will increase inflation, so yes, you’re probably right, interest rates will rise again. I also expect the tug of war between the Government and the BoE to end badly. Look out for the rightwing press softening up the public with attacks on the BoE and its Governor. Truss has promised growth of 2.5 %, in the face of a recession, low productivity and rocketing national debt. The economics are against her, so she’s going to abandon economics and go with recklessness instead. She needs to take control of the BoE in order to give full vent to her idiocy. All the while millions in Britain can’t afford to eat regular meals.

The US has in the past tried isolationism, how did that work out? What kind of world does Putin have in mind? How about Kim, what do you think he wants? Or the Chinese, what are their ambitions? And since you dragged Israel into this (I wonder why), should the Israeli’s sit on their hands while history repeats itself.

Out of curiosity. Where do you get your news?

I only recall one poster openly supporting Truss during the selection process, he’s definitely not on the left of the political spectrum and oddly very quiet these days. Trying to blame people on the political left for this policies of this extreme rightwing PM is scurrilous. She’s a Tory, she was selected by members of the Tory Party, her policies are all Tory party policies. The mess she’s making is on her, her party and those who voted for this failing government.

His corruption, ineptitude and of course constant lies. He was ousted by his own Party, nobody made them do it.

Repeating your nonsense doesn’t make it true. Truss and her policies are all the choice of the Tories who selected her. Nobody outside the Tory Party had any day in the matter.

Nonsense. My comments were consistent. Nobody but Tory Party members got a vote, both candidates where poor, but Truss was/is particularly poor, she’s a gift to the opposition. Observing that Truss’ policy statements in the run up to the final ‘Tory Party vote’ would cause havoc in the economy and make life worse for people already suffering is not by any stretch wishing those problems on the wider British public. This is a Tory MP selected by Tory Party members, she and her policies are all 100% Tory, nothing whatsoever to do with those who pointed out her obvious flaws.

A very practical and sensible idea. I wonder who might object to it?!

Because you don’t know Trump’s hand picked corrupt Bill Barr is no longer US AG?

KK didn’t raise UK interest rates, that was the Bank of England. KK has enacted a budget that hands £tens of billions of tax cuts to the wealthy. The predicted outcome is increased inflation and higher national debt. Pennies for the poor, Ritchie’s for the already wealthy.

Perhaps that speech could be printed on large notice boards to use as protection for American and its allies to ward off the bombs, bullets and missiles of tyrants who are repeatedly stating their military intentions.

No he wasn’t. He was handed an emboldened N. Korea with a leader that had been provided positive propaganda material while continuing with it’s military and nuclear ambitions.
