Rishi Sunak

Oh dear, his PR team have used a Gary Glitter track on his latest promotional video. Glitter will probably sue for reputational damage.


Awks that.
Reminds me of a potential David Walliams book/film about a kid who becomes Prime Minister...
The noncey soundtrack just adds to the bewilderment.
 
I agree with you here. It’s easy to bash governments in hindsight - Brown gets a lot of unfair criticism about flogging our gold reserves at all time lows - in hindsight it weren’t the best decision but at the time it was a perfectly reasonable decision.

Like you I’ll take losing £5bn in fraud over millions losing jobs and homes. Some folk have already been sent to prison. It’s the fraudsters that need to sleep at night and should be the ones we are slagging off. At the end of the day so long as we learn from our mistakes and leave a pandemic play book for our great great grandkids when they get their pandemic it will all have been worth it.

just a gentle reminder that Heath sold off double the amount of gold than Brown did ….. and at a much lower price.
 
I don't confess to having a great understanding of politics in the USA, but I've seen some documentaries from respected British journalists covering the mid term elections, and I've found their reports quite shocking.

So many people were being interviwed at rallies and conventions thinking a civil war was about to break out, with accustations of fake news and fixed elections being promoted by the speakers on stage fuelling the fire, it didn't promote a country at ease with itself.

On this side of the pond, it came across as a confused mess with frightening consequences. I don't know how representative those reports were but is that take on the situation, that civil war could break out, a real concern for you?


Have a listen to MSNBC [it’s a left wing political channel ) tonight … from about 10.00 pm onwards ….

if you can’t download the app try it through ‘’Tune - in’’

What you know so far is fairly correct.

Classic whataboutery. However as you raised it just a gentle reminder…inflation and end of the gold standard. With inflation heath sold gold around $100 an oz higher and at prices that were pretty solid as gold price was pegged to currencies (the gold standard).
