JudyJudyJudy Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 You know how bad things have got.... A guy was interviewed on tv news just now talking about a " moderate" Liz Truss. Apparently he is hoping she will be very much like Thatcher who was " very pragmatic" . ( i know what he was meaning but still wishing for a moderate Thatcher type.

Hopefully this will get the feckless, layabout, sicknotes back into the habit of earning their own crust and paying their own way. Driving down wages by flooding the labour market with eager employees will also help tackle inflationary pressures, and provide employers with extra cash to re-invest in the business, CEO's can look forward to a well-earned bonus, and provide shareholders with a welcome dividend boost just when the cost of living crisis is biting.

Indeed, the carriers were designed and built by the ACA (Aircraft carrier Alliance) whose main players are BAE, Thales, Babcock, GE Propulsion & of course the MOD (there were various sub contracts to other UK yards from this group). If I was to hazard a guess GE will be putting in extra hours at the moment. Worth noting that no project of this size is carried out by individual organisations nowadays nearly always a consortium.

Fuel, food and other prices generally have also gone up significantly since then. That backs up what the "dinner lady" said about what she experienced before the summer holidays and what she expects to happen come October. The story does stack up, unlike your pathetic post.
