More doom and gloom predictions on the UK, later to be proven incorrect and "revised" no doubt. Fact is, the UK economy is doing fine. The IMF or this think tank that I have never heard of can come up with as many "wills", "mights", "coulds", "predicts", "shoulds", "warns" as they like. Facts are facts. Project Fear never happened, they can try and talk the UK into armageddon but it simply isn't happening. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12114497/Wrong-IMF-finally-admits-Britain-WONT-recession-year.html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2023/03/10/economy-grows-budget-boost-jeremy-hunt/?WT.mc_id=tmgoff_psc_ppc_puzzles_pmax_2023&gclid=Cj0KCQjwz8emBhDrARIsANNJjS6bTf0RSLvm9cSUXLhkF754V9eCyU_GIdKElrxn21LZmPDWRZGSlpAaAg2bEALw_wcB Will they ever learn?

Blah blah blah. Divert as much as you like. I'm still waiting for those "thousands of insults". "Where is the server" doesn't count.

Read my previous post. Try to understand it this time.

It's behind a paywall.

Weak. "Cancel order" is a suggestion, not an insult. "Nothing is being done" is a statement, not an insult. "Where is the server?" is a question, not an insult. Fake news (a statement) repeated 1000 times does not constitute 1000 insults. You're really scraping the bottom of the barrel with one link behind a paywall and another one repeating "fake news" hundreds of times.

It's behind a paywall.

I can only lead a horse to water...

Let's wait and see. I mean after months of deliberation Starmer has finally worked out what a woman is so with his new found insight let's give him another decade and he might come up with some sensible ideas for the economy. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12341781/Keir-Starmer-finally-accepts-woman-adult-female-Labour-leader-confirms-party-U-turn-gender-self-identification-admits-policy-not-right-way-forward.html

A cop out. The equivalent of "google it". I thought links were required for statements of fact. Thousands? lol.

I said it was alleged. I then provided proof of the allegation. The fact you do not think Rogan is credible is neither here nor there regarding the accuracy of my statement. Don't like Rogan? OK, here's another one for you. A senator. https://www.hawley.senate.gov/following-pelosi-trades-hawley-calls-hearing-banning-insider-trading-congress Here's a definition of alleged as well, since you don't seem to fully understand it.

I have acknowledged that it is alleged. I will wait for the result of the trial before I conclude he is guilty. As you should.

OK here is one. Joe Rogan. https://nypost.com/2022/04/11/joe-rogan-slams-nancy-pelosi-pols-for-insider-trading/

I often criticize him. I have also stated he is an idiot. Even on this thread I have stated he is as bad as Pelosi, who I clearly dislike. The fact that you use such statements to conclude I am a huge fan of Trump is an issue for you to resolve, not me ????.

Why are you asking me? I stated it was alleged. Then I linked to an article where it was alleged. You appear to have more time than me so feel free to investigate if you need more detail.

Please provide links to prove thousands of examples of Trump. Thanks in advance.

Strawman. I am not a Trump supporter. I have even stated on this very thread that I think he and Pelosi are as bad as each other. Try arguing against my actual position, rather than one you have created on my behalf to discredit me. I know it's your go to tactic, but we can all improve even in our advanced years ????.

Yes, as bad as each other. Pelosi isn't exactly the height of maturity. Like a toddler ripping up another kids drawing in art class ????.

As bad as each other, like 2 kids squabbling in the playground. US politics really is in a sad state.

Yes, disclaimers like that are often used for legal reasons.

Yes, the EU's insistence on making trade between EU countries and the UK as problematic as possible certainly harms both sides. However, I was answering a poster who was asking how it harmed the EU side. Hence that is the part of the article that I quoted. I do hope that has cleared up your confusion on the matter.

Indeed, Pelosi's alleged insider trading will hopefully be proven beyond a doubt.

Schadenfreude. Such an ugly thing. Pelosi truly exudes spite and vitriol from every pore. So much so that it is etched across her face for all to see. You'd think the uncanny over-performance of her investments and the vast wealth she accrued during her time as House speaker would have made her happy but maybe it's the knowledge of what she had to do to acquire it that makes her so unhappy? A truly vile individual.

While the background of this alliance is disgraceful, mired in backstabbing and completely undemocratic, my pragmatic side can't help but feel in reality this won't be so bad. 1. Prayut/Prawit finally gone (or at least put on the back row). 2. Pheu Thai in government (my second choice behind MFP). 3. Weed to stay legal. Not perfect by any means, but a long way from catastrophic.

By making it as complicated as possible for those member states to do business with Britain. The EU was slow to realize/admit that this causes problems in BOTH directions. One of many reasons the German economy fell into recession as the UK was such a huge market for them. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/may/25/germany-economy-falls-into-recession-high-prices-take-toll https://www.ft.com/content/913c7e84-fd2d-4cb5-be0c-8cd865f37462 Still, much like the Thai government the EU technocrats care not for the well being of it's members, only that they retain their vice like control at the top, and their noses in the corrupt trough. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63941509
