    Still, the government has the confidence of the market’s https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/topics/cx250jmk4e7t/pound-sterling-gbp That’s huge. Pretty much every commodity in the world is traded in USD so the chances of inflation rising again has just gone up.

    This is a budget that is designed to keep us plebs paying our energy bills. Unless you’re wealthy.

    Got a feeling that’s going to backfire. The union’s have a pretty strong mandate before calling a strike and when members are voting in very sizeable majorities to strike of the back of that mandate it seems almost inevitable that token offers are going to be rejected in any ballot. Could...

    He purged anyone capable because anyone capable were too capable to tow his line of BS. To surround himself with a weak cabinet ended up his only choice. He had Desmond Swayne in his final cabinet FFS, that’s how bad it was.

    Interesting. As one pundit has put it with the shit Boris has put in there all of a sudden this looks a far more palatable idea than it did 4 years ago. Although I think it was already quite a popular suggestion.

    Any heating experts?

    Probably the last radiator on the system, might be worth turning some of the other valves back a little bit more. I crank them back until they’re almost turned off, you’ll know if you’ve gone too far because it will start cooling down so just open it a smidge more.

    Any heating experts?

    Have you got enough pressure in the system? If there’s not enough pressure water might not be reaching it. Or you’ve got some radiator valves open more than they need to be causing an imbalance in the system starving the one radiator not getting warm of hot water. If I was you I’d open all the...

    This is a bit worrying

    It’s not just Pakistani Muslims it’s Muslims in general. About a sixth of the population of India are Muslim and they are being increasingly marginalised in India too. Especially under Modi who is a Hindu nationalist. It’s not just Muslims who are being marginalised under Modi, Christians...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Just checked. Apparently in a speech Friedrich Merz leader of Germany's Christian Democratic Union party accidentally referred to the start of Russias latest invasion as September the 24th not February the 24th. Conspiracy theorists jumped on his fraudulent slip and added a conspiracy to it that...

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    “That German politician” is my favourite line. So concerned by his theory/revelation he doesn’t even recall the name of “that German politician”.

    Biggest mistake the unionist ever made was backing brexit. Regardless of how the population dynamics was changing EU membership largely negated the the need or desire for a united Ireland. It’s not just catholics that want a united Ireland now, growing numbers of Protestants do. Especially...

    In the grand scheme of things? I guess it depends on how you measure it, 7k of jobs or by the amount of revenue generated by 7k of jobs in the sector with unfettered access to the EU market.

    When this guy is saying it won’t work by any measurement it’s probably worth ditching the idea and move onto a tangible problem that will help the majority of people not a minority https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/sep/21/fracking-wont-work-uk-founder-chris-cornelius-cuadrilla For...

    It’s been done because 7000 banking jobs migrated to the EU as a direct result of Brexit. They’re trying to woo them back but as an industry expert pointed out the other day they didn’t leave because of bonuses they left because of access to market. They may get some individuals to return but...
