  1. The not looking after the aged and infirm very well party.
  2. Well the crazy low interest rates helped to keep inflation down for years, but in the background the debt in all classes kept rising relentlessly and I think it is debt that has to burst the big bubble eventually. But that can keeps rolling down the road.
  3. The so-called rescue, at least since 2008, has been enabled by endless money printing.
  4. Good to see a happy story for a change. Thanks.
  5. Idiotic ignorance of Covid cost and effect yet again.
  6. Biden Boom?? US 90%?? Full of it as ever. US Debt-to-GDP is 123% in 2024. https://www.ceicdata.com/en/indicator/united-states/government-debt--of-nominal-gdp
  7. I just completed this quiz. My Score 40/100 My Time 118 seconds  
  8. Both hopeless "leaders" that are neither smart nor funny. A right pair of McNuggets.
  9. Look like the latest news wasn't convincing enough either.
  10. Better not let her see your posts! 🤣
  11. That should be a new topic methinks. The debauchery section?
  12. Beeb has little to say so far - how outrageous!
  13. Oh wait what? Stable no. Prosperous yes, for themselves maybe but nobody else. Islam invaded the Caucasus (Persia) via Muslim expansion into the Caucasus in the 7th century and the Umayyad conquest of Iberia after that meant that much of the Iberian Peninsula was occupied until the 15th century. The Ottoman Empire also conquered and occupied the Balkans and remnants of the Byzantine Empire. After stalling at the Gates of Vienna in 1529, the Ottoman Empire then declined, until it was defeated and eventually collapsed, relatively recently. in 1922. All of these invasions and occupations featured multiple battles, deaths, significant slavery and instability.
  14. Not much point - Beeb has little to say so far and Syria is all front page: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5ydr228jyko
  15. Spring? Fair weather bs. Give them one weekend mid January and see how they like that.
  16. Given the cumulative effect of decades of defence spending cuts and the resulting relatively small size of the UK armed forces today, then 6 months sounds rather generous. I don't see any way that the UK could engage in any "large" scale conflict alone.
  17. Well she weren't standing up in t'other photo.
  18. Paraffin heaters? House? You were lucky!
  19. Empty benches, did the Honorable Member just let one go?
  20. He should buy the Labour Party - seems easy enough to do in bits, these days - then flog it off to history.
  21. Its back-peddling, groveling and a national embarrassment.
  22. Most of that has been the reward from recent socialist regimes in many western "developed" economies.
