Mini-Budget. Major Catastrophe.
How much have Truss and Kwarteng cost the country so far?kamikwasi.tax
We’re fucked mate. We’ve fucking completely blown it.We really are led by donkeys.
I’m forever the optimist but agree with you wholeheartedly. And not just for now, but the foreseeable future as well.We’re fucked mate. We’ve fucking completely blown it.
It does feel like kids in other countries will be answering history questions like "was the UKs demise in the first half of the 21st century the inevitable final decline of a once mighty empire or an act of national self-sabotage unprecedented in a major developed nation? (5 marks)".We’re fucked mate. We’ve fucking completely blown it.
It’s actually a very interesting question. In summary, I would say that in actual terms, globally, the former (as western hegemony will undoubtedly continue to diminish) but relative to those countries who ‘remain’ in the EU, undoubtedly the latter. It is certainly unprecedented in its scale and likely long-term impact, unless you include Russia as a major developed nation, as their fall could be even greater.It does feel like kids in other countries will be answering history questions like "was the UKs demise in the first half of the 21st century the inevitable final decline of a once mighty empire or an act of national self-sabotage unprecedented in a major developed nation?

A quite unbelievable reckless act of national self-harm that will make us discernibly poorer (by a number of metrics) as a country and will see the Union fracture. We have unilaterally unleashed forces that we simply cannot contain.
No turning back now. Our fate as a greatly diminished nation is sealed.

What bearing do the prevailing rates of inflation in European countries have on a decision that will define our nation for at least a generation? It’s a complete non-sequitur.Inflation in the UK - 9.9%, in the EU:
Germany - 10%
Belgium - 11%
Croatia - 12%
Romania - 15%
Holland - 17%
Czech Republic - 17%
Bulgaria - 17%
Lithuania - 22%
Macron -a lame duck
Swedish government- gone
Italian government- gone
It’s Brexit what done it ;)

No, i am across a bitIsn’t your MP Caroline Lucas?
She was asked when trying to get the job whether there would be austerity , she said a point blank no , lying bitchSo the way to solve our decent into 3rd world standards is to carry on regardless.
don't worry pensioners are already litter picking to take up the slack and police are too busy in special measures so the publics lack of toilets mean you won't get done for pissing in streets or robbing books because the libraries are gone.
