If this comes to trial while his daddy is president he will win. After the election he will lose. No better than Thai rich kids acting entitled as they wreak havoc in their politician father's Ferrari. The US has become a Banana Republic under Biden. But Jill loves the big white house and Hunter fears jail for his debauchery so we will see the end game. The downfall of the Biden crime family.

I would disagree. Better to compare with economies of similar size. The closest two EU economies are France and Germany and the UK has been outperforming both of those. Of course, if RN are elected France might be gone in a few years in which case the EU would probably collapse.

Not quite what I meant, but if it makes you feel better I'm happy for you 😊.

You seem angry. Maybe you could channel some of that anger into something positive?

I don't consider using an asset management company a brag. It's like saying I have a bank account or a mobile phone, it's just a statement of fact and I assume most people would have these things. If you think it is something to brag about it says more about you than it does about me.

Yes, that's why I used the word possibly as opposed to "by definition" as you used.

Nothing irrational about having concerns about the strain on housing, education, the NHS, the social welfare system etc. Nothing irrational when they are turning up illegally in dinghy's, undocumented, unskilled, possibly with anti-social intolerant attitudes to women, homosexuals etc. We don't all have a martyr complex that requires constant validation via irresponsible policies that put the indigenous population at risk.

Another one of Biden's screw ups. Followed by more Biden lies. Not wholly unexpected though, given the US tendency to grow bored/give up on military operations when it all gets a bit too difficult.

Yes, because GDP tells the whole story...

Still no details/action against his clients who frequently travelled with him to his Paedo island? And people still believe he killed himself while the CCTV was malfunctioning. No wonder they hate whistleblowers like Assange so much. Bunch of crooks.

He won't rejoin the EU.

You'll excuse me if I don't take investment advice from randoms on expat internet forums. I have some knowledge of the stock market but I would concede I am no expert, which I why I use a renowned asset management company to manage my investments rather than pretending to be an expert by advising others what to invest their money in on t'internet. I wouldn't expect the UK economy to do well under a Labour government though. History shows that.

I agree Reform are the best option right now.

A travel article about tours to locations in Europe 😃. Desperate stuff even by your standards 😄.

Indeed, not so much deteriorating before our very eyes, rather decomposing.

Well gaslighting was only going to take them so far. It was a huge mistake, as well as deeply dishonest.

Could you provide a link to somewhere they promised "warm sunlit uplands" please. Otherwise, stop trolling. It's boring.

I don't believe that was an option on the ballot paper, so it's a bit of a trolly question.

A tipping point for them to admit it, not to see it. The left wing media had been trying to gaslight the public for the last couple of years until it became untenable. Then once one of them admitted it, they all crumbled within 24 hours like a house of cards. As did his cheerleaders on this forum. Folded like a cheap suit. As I said in the other thread, it was an "emperor has no clothes" moment. Now it's too late to rectify it. Prepare for Trump.

Nonsense. As the adults in the room noted at the time, there would be some short term issues to sort out and then it would be business as usual. And look what happened. Just as we said. https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/city-london-remains-top-global-financial-centre-own-survey-2024-01-24/

Possibly. I still find it bizarre that they claim to have not seen his decline before that debate. There was a plethora of very clear signs that many of us were pointing out.

It was a terrible mistake making Sunak PM. If there is one positive I can take from this it's that he will no longer be leading the country. Of course, that is far outweighed by the negative that it will likely be the product of a tool maker, Sir Keir.

Dementia is a degenerative disease. If he is still the candidate in September and is allowed to do another debate by his handlers (both unlikely), you'll be looking back at June with fond memories about how articulate Joe once was.

My asset management team deal with that. As for Thai expats (I don't believe you are one), I'd suggest they transfer any GBP to THB in the next 6 months before Labour wreck the economy, as they always do.

Joe is crying like a baby because he can't eliminate the political opposition via the courts. Given he can barely string a sentence together that was his only chance. Now it's gone. Suck it up Joe, just like you do with your dinner.
