Of whom? This is the same tactic that climate change deniers use by citing extreme predictions made by the unqualified. Give it up. -

Republicans announce investigation into Joe Biden !

As noted above, Bobulinski previously claimed he had evidence to prove that Joe Biden was involved. Investigative reports from Rupert Murdoch's Wall St. Journal examined his evidence and found absolutely nothing that would incriminate Joe Biden. -

Did you actually read the articles? Apparently, you believe it's a crime to have your family name be Biden. I got some disappointing news for you: it isn't. -

I'm not saying it's false but I couldn't find that info. So just share with me the link to that datum. I'd like to see what industries are represented. -

UK faces biggest fall in living standards on record
placeholder replied to Scott's topic in World News
Certainly better for you. I was perfectly civil when you supplied irrelevant information, until you came up with this: "You could try a search yourself you know!" -
Actually, your assumptions don't make sense. For years, Putin was amassing cash and materiel to carry out his invasion of Ukraine. Despite which, his forces were stopped when Ukraine was still at a huge materiel disadvantage. Now that things are being equalized, we see big Russian retreats everywhere. Once anti-missile systems are in place, any edge Russia has will be gone.

I guess I find it strange that you accuse me of behaving badly when it was you who wrote this: "You could try a search yourself you know!" Is this your idea of politesse? As for the gilts issue, I recall it differently, if hazily. And can you give me a point- by-point recap of the other times I haven't been able to back up what I've alleged with searches. I think that's untrue. -

Tony Bobulinski claimed he had evidence on his mobile phones that would conclusively establish that Joe Biden was corrupt. Investigative reporters from Rupert Murdoch's Wall St. Journal examined the contents of the phones. They found nothing to suggest that Biden was guilty of anything.

I think it's clear that James and Hunter Biden are sleazy. But being sleazy isn't a crime. And as noted in the same article: "There’s no evidence that Joe Biden used his power inappropriately or took action to benefit his relatives with respect to these ventures. Interviews, court records, government filings and news reports, however, reveal that some members of the Biden family have consistently mixed business and politics over nearly half a century, moving from one business to the next as Joe’s stature in Washington grew. None of the ventures appear to have been runaway successes, and Biden’s relatives have not been accused of criminal wrongdoing in their dealings." https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/08/02/joe-biden-investigation-hunter-brother-hedge-fund-money-2020-campaign-227407/ -

I just found it strange that you assumed I didn't do a search. And why should I invest the time to do anything more than a casual search? There are many important shows on the BBC iplayer that need me to watch them. -

I did try a search myself. And I had no more success in finding anything about UK wages in the Depression than apparently did you. -

The thing is, if banks have serious enough suspicions about a money transfer, they can actually refuse to perform it. -

Large overseas wire transactions are routinely flagged by banks. Any amount $10,000 and over has to be reported to the Federal govt. It's not at all clear whether these transfers being flagged are significant. Even if the allegations against Hunter and James Biden prove to be true, to date no one has found a nickel of illicitly earned money by Biden. -

I don't think that's a likely prospect. He may end up being worth only 50 -100 billion if twitter disappears and his 56 billion baht salary evaporates. Still, I am concerned for him. -

But what it doesn't have is UK wage information. Governments or monetary agencies have to decide to compile statistics. Maybe they just didn't bother to do it back then.
