Is there any need for this, really?

Just today government borrowing went up just because the growth forecast was a little worse then expected. If the government is suddenly on the hook for tens of billions in water infrastructure investment at the same time they are seen as anti-business and willing to rug-pull private investment, you bet foreign governments will sell their investments in the UK.

We don't need 'foreign investment', it's nothing but a euphemism for allowing foreigners to own our shit. Doesn't matter if it's government debt or houses, it causes inflation and it's just selling our futures.

Fuck foreign investment, might as well just print it ourselves or just take it from those that already have far too much.

Enough of letting finance spivs dictate how shit goes in my opinion.

If we let them win, we lose, if we fight them they will mess with 'the market' and generate as much FUD as they can but it's the only weapon they have and we need to take it off them, one way or another.

Step 5, Watch the collapse of virtually all private pensions in the UK as their value drops due to heavy investment in various water companies.

Overstated I would say, pensions are heavily diversified.

Step 6, Watch the gilt markets collapse as the UK government is seen as reckless and anti business as it removes assets from private investors.

If the government continues paying interest on the bonds, why would the markets collapse?

I'm in favour of this, however it's only a fraction of what needs to be done to overhaul our voting system. We need to get rid of FPTP and reform the lords.

How could I forget, Prince Andrews brother was also best mates with Jimmy Saville.

Just saying.

Join, just so they can ban you for bullshit.

Maybe should have also noted that Princess Di was 16 and Charlie was 28 when he met her.

Insanity that she got 3 years for this, that guy who caused the 7 police car pile up got 14 months yesterday. Sentencing in this country is a joke, besides the fact that drugs should be legal.

How many thousands of pills would have been on site at that festival anyway.

No it's not though because they don't own the crown estates, the public own that and give them a portion of the earnings.

Everything they have comes from us, they didn't earn any of it, it's all just stolen wealth and unitaxed inheritance.

Oh really?

Well I cancelled mine, dunno what the rest of you are playing at!

I had an argument with some pillock on facebook who was saying 'it was hot once in 76', I had to tell him his memory if obviously fucked because 1. data says so and 2. the changes since I was a kid in the 80's are massive and noticeable to anybody.

When I was a kid, you were lucky if you got a few days over 20 degrees over summer, if you had a week over 20 it was considered a heatwave of costa del sol proportions. For the last decade or so I've noticed spring starts a lot earlier now and summers go on a lot longer, even in winter I've seen cold like I've never seen on a few occasions (last few have been weirdly warm though).

Last year it was 38 degrees where I live in fuckin Newcastle for over a week, opening the door was like stepping off the plane in Florida. How fucking stupid do you have to be to be my age or older and not accept this reality staring us all in the fucking face?
