"It comes four months after Mr Hancock resigned from his cabinet post for breaking social distancing guidelines by kissing a colleague." He was having an affair and everyone in the Tory party knew about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, such is the perversity of Brexit, don’t be surprised to see VAT creep up soon, whilst the government announces that free of Brussels, we can now vary the rate of VAT. Much applause. The Tories have consistently raised VAT from 8% to the current rate of 20%. But they're the party of low taxation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NANOJAMBO Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 10 hours ago, Victorian said: Few would want to turn the clock back to the type of nationalisation of the past but this would be a different, time limited and strategic and targeted version. The Tories themselves are engaged in turning the clock back to an age when their free market economy functioned. It no longer does because the fabric of the economy and the conditions of the past no longer exist. It's a busted ideology. There's a very wide range of sectors and industries that are critical to the inextricable ties of the economy. We should preserve the fabric of the economy to stabilise and recover. This is the debate I had with the missus today. Thatcher closed down steel, shipbuilding, coal mining and watched as car prodution disappeared. - and that was just in Scotland But now those money losing, ineffecient industries are gone there is nothing left to cut. What we're seeing post brexit is lean , agile businesses going to the wall. The current Tories, "***k business Tories" simply don't care. It doesn't affect them (did it ever). They have no vision, it's simply about preserving the status quo , being in power and being part of the brexit cult. This current lot are the worst of the worst.

Jambo-Jimbo Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 17 hours ago, Japan Jambo said: To be fair the credit card is pretty stacked with debt from the pandemic, how would you set about dealing with it if you can't cut costs and increase revenue? They could always just kick the can down the road and let future generations pay for it I suppose, that would that be ok, wouldn't it. Of course not, somebody has to start to pay for furlough and all the other scheme's that helped people during the lockdowns, which also kept businesses afloat so as people had jobs to go back to, surely nobody was naive enough to think it was all for free and wasn't going have to be paid back at some point, there was always likely to have to be tax rises and or service/benefit cuts, to help pay for it all.

It's World wide Just a matter of a couple of weeks ago there was over 70 container ships moored of the coast of California, because America's busiest container port, Los Angeles couldn't cope with them all, even other ports couldn't help as they were also rammed full with container ships. https://news.sky.com/story/california-more-than-70-cargo-ships-queue-outside-los-angeles-and-long-beach-ports-amid-surge-in-us-imports-12414284 The reason was basically a lack of workers at the ports, also a lack of trucks to transport the goods, but even if there were enough trucks there wasn't enough drivers to drive the trucks.

Boab Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 It's OK, guys, the Yanks are having problems as well ! What that has to do with a lying Tory thread, I'm not so sure. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 The problems the Yanks are having is that people coming off Furlough seem to have no interest in going back to their shite jobs with pish pay and awful conditions. This is also the case in Europe and in the UK. But the USA and Europe have far larger populations and will be able to replace the lost workers far more easily than isolated Little Britain. We've seen this already, with the UK government opening visas in a desperate attempt to pull in more labour but hardly any overseas workers taking up the offer, instead preferring to find work where they are. It's debatable whether or not the supply chain crisis in the UK would still have happened purely due to Brexit, or whether Brexit has simply amplified the Covid effect, but the Operation Yellowhammer paper did warn of supply chain problems, and mostly everything else that was in that paper has come true, so take from that what you will.

manaliveits105 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Polexit soon hopefully Bloody Polish Tories !!!! Come on in the waters fine guys Their relationship was plunged into crisis earlier this month when a Polish court ruled some of Poland's laws had primacy of EU ones. "We cannot and we will not allow our common values to be put at risk," said Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission. But Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, also present at the plenary session in Strasbourg, hit back. "Poland will not be intimated," said Morawiecki, vowing to defend his country's sovereign independence against the "creeping expansion" of EU institutions. mon the Poles !

The victim is still appealing to the CPS as to why the case was not pursued. So yes I can understand why certain people, particularly those with things they'd rather keep quiet, would want social media voices shut down. It wasn't social media accounts calling out the lies and shenanigans of those in power that killed Davis Ames, it appears it may well have been home bred Islamic fundamentalism. Any government should be open to transparency and held to account. This particularly nefarious mob will be moving heaven and earth to prevent that from happening.
