Leave him alone he's just having some me time with his copy of the Express.

To be fair the madagascan currency the Ariary performed worse than the £ yesterday, but it was the only one out of over 180 currencies.

So when Labour are in power and world events cause economic disaster and hardship, it's not Labours fault. But when the Tories are in power, and with COVID we have the worst economic shock since WW2, immediately followed by a war in Europe causing a 10X increase in gas prices, the lefties on here say the Tories are to blame for our predicament. Right.

Yeah, right.

The first UK budget conceived on Ketamine and, strangely, it's not going well.

Even the yanks are worried by the proposals but chippy says it's all OK.
Mmmm who to believe...

To be fair the demand for lemurs has slumped this year.

You do realise that criticism of this government and lamenting the gradual erosion of most people's living standards isn't an outright "leftie" position?

A lot of people are struggling to make ends meet despite being in full time work in supposedly one of the richest economies in the world. Some people are trying to buy their first home and guarantee themselves shelter so they aren't at the behest of landlords for the rest of their lives. Some of us have health concerns and can't get a GP appointment. Some of us are seeing relatives in chronic pain having their operations bumped down the list a for a third time. Some of us are worried about going cold this winter. Some of of us would simply like to be able to book an intercity train without it being a massive ordeal.

People are trying to simply live their lives and have seen their living standards or any prospect of long term financial security go rapidly backwards under Tory government whilst the rich get richer. The transference of wealth from the poor to the rich under Tory rule has been staggering and unashamed. These aren't small annoyances.

Clearly you're ok and don't give a fuck about anyone else. But a lot of us are understandably struggling with the current state of affairs and it has nothing to do with their ideological position. A lot of people don't have the luxury of taking an ideological position on these things any more. Clearly you do though given all evidence points to the fact that the country has gone backwards under Tory rule and yet you're still falling over yourself to defend them. If you want to believe that they've somehow done a good job then that's up to you, but maybe take a day off from the sneering at people who are rightfully pissed off and worried about where we're headed.

Top post mate, well put

'Britain faces a simple and inescapable choice - stability and strong government with me, or chaos with Ed Miliband' David Cameron. - 7 May 2015


To be honest ... Id settle for the chaos of Miliband right now.

Presumably intentional? Did Kwarteng say that on Friday? Or even yesterday when the pound plummeted? "The pound tanking is part of the plan."

What he says and what he does may be 2 different things a lower value pound will certainly help paying the extra debt back.

Johnson, Sunak, Patel, Javed and Hancock come back please all is forgiven. They were business meetings not parties, that Tory mp never sexually assaulted anyone.
