    Viktor Moving on

    Just feels they’re trying to bully sporting into accepting arsenals offer. We’ve been on the other end of this so no sympathy for sporting, just want highest fee for our slice though

    Oasis Reunion

    Whatever was played but yeah, it’s crazy the amount of tracks they’ve got in their locker. I’d personally chuck shakermaker, Columbia, d’yer wanna be a spaceman, don’t go away and cum on and feel the noize in the mix as well. would’ve loved I am the walrus can’t complain with what they went...

    Oasis Reunion

    I was saying wouldn’t have looked out of place. I understand it comes down to personal preference though. I’m not a massive fan of wonderwall, more because it’s been played to death over the years, but they’re never not going to play it.

    Oasis Reunion

    They’ve always done a low tempo Noel bit and they still slipped in slide away and rock n roll star later on. agree tempo does drop off, it’s all the classics though. You don’t start low tempo when people have been waiting 15 years for a reunion so the second half was always likely to be a bit...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Then surely people should want to maximise tax revenue in order to invest in public services, level the playing field and help those that need it most ? 🤷‍♂️

    Oasis Reunion

    Nah, it was pretty much all the well known bangers which was the right call for a reunion tour. There’s maybe a couple I’d have changed but just personal preference. Crazy when you look at the monster set list and there’s still another half a dozen that wouldn’t have looked out of place on there

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Seen these type of figures being used before but they don’t tell the whole story. There’s 600k liquid millionaires in the UK and if so around 4% would have left in two years. Another way to look at it, its assumed that 10% of non doms left last year, with a far higher percentage leaving this...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I know Dave laughed at my post but i try to be factual, there was 20m claimants of various welfare benefits in 2024 (presume some people claiming multiple benefits so it will be a fair few less than 20m individuals). Plus child benefit (7m families) and pensioners (13m) There’s obviously...

    Hopefully because he’s honest. People in this country, especially some on the left. need to get it into their heads that there’s plenty of people who aren’t nice and honest and are happy to abuse the system. I’ve posted about this recently when I highlighted the spike in PIP/DLA claims, as well...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    hmmm, I’m not sure we’ve had a recent history when most developed nations were operating at 100%+ debt to gdp, with aging populations, ballooning public sector spending and after trillions already having been printed for years on end. maybe all will be fine, maybe AI/tech will collectively drag...

    Haha, maybe not just yet Dave. Hopefully you won’t need their services for a while (if at all) on that score anyway

    The health service can’t continue to operate as it is. It’s a shambles and totally inefficient. We’re pouring more and more in and not getting the return I read the other day that by 2036 the NHS is forecast to employ 1 in 11 people. How does that even work ?!! 🤷‍♂️. Only way out I can see is...

    Don’t disagree with a fair bit of that. I was trying to explain what the left and right argue and why both seem to appear to ignore the impact of bond market/cost of borrowing

    I agree with view on trumps bill and can understand why musk is fucked off The uk is a strange one and agree, the issue we’ve got is people don’t want to pay more tax. There is also a massive reliance on hand outs though and we don’t seem to spend the money well. The numbers are frightening...

    There is morally but not in the eyes of the bond market/lenders. What they’re interested in is whether countries can pay the money they’ve borrowed back and if they can at current value of the pound/dollar or whether that currency value will be debased/inflated away in future….in which case they...

    taxation will almost certainly have to increase but it will almost certainly be all of us paying it. Defence is a drop in the ocean compared to NHS and welfare

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    wasting your time, some just don’t get the correlation between an unstable government that is showing no ability to control spending and bond prices/borrowing costs going up Not only does Reeves have an additional hole to fill from the welfare climbdown, unless things settle down, she (or her...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Write off which peoples debts though ? The government basically took control of certain banks to make sure they/banking system could continue to function. This wasn’t a normal recession with some companies going bust, this was banks loose lending and lack of liquidity in the system when under...

    Can we stop with this soft right nonsense which is what I see on social media with nothing to back it up…other than the fact that they cack handily tried to tweak winter fuel allowance to stop those who don’t need it getting it and stem the flood of money that’s going into welfare by a tiny...

    Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you, SBD and wingy are saying (or you’re misunderstanding what happened) but RBS and Northern Rock were effectively nationalised and Lloyds were strong armed into taking on HBoS and government took 40% share. They were all provided with significant liquidity to...
