I thought the Israeli-Palestinian thing is because they don?t have enough Marmite.


Anyway, what about Australia for that matter?


It seems that it isn?t the heat but the combination of heat and the Euro. As a currency it was obviously designed for use in economies where the people making financial transactions are not suffering from heat induced laziness and half-cut on olive oil.


The refusal to take sensible, honest consideration of climate induced cultural differences when structuring monetary policy is one of the many things that are wrong with the world today.

Anyone remember when shops used to give families tick,letting them have goods to pay back the following week,

When friday came they paid their bill and had nothing left to get any groceries and the shopkeeper gave them more tick,

never ending circle of debt.

This is how the eurzone is operating now,they will never be able to pay the loans back,austerity measures we all ready had those in the fifties.

I cant remember us having a bail out from euro funds, so why have we got austerity measures,and where was how refund Thatcher and Blair was supposed to have sorted out.

Conservatives will not be in goverment again for decades to come, the most heartless and unfeeling cabinet of men since Hitlers third reicht,hitting the old disabled and poor, because their Euro masters have more clout than them.

coalition Libs are just glove puppets.The real people will not vote for them ever again.

No....nor has anyone else



Meanwhile, LOL at scoffing at the impracticality of early sociologists trying to impose a theorretical map on different societies as they are far too complex for such generalisation but supporting the actual implementation of a single currency to complex and differing societies.


Anyone want to ask me what the Irish I work with feel about the hike in interset rates they had yeasterday to cool the German economy?

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
