I wouldn't chuck it all the boomer's way. Of course the younger lot will have accrued less wealth in their pensions/property. And the Silent Generation are either in care or bossing Jimmy around.
In 30 years, we'll be the bad guys.
Theresa May's Conservatives
Jeremy Corbyn's Labour
Tim Farron's Liberal Democrats
Paul Nuttall's UKIP
2 people's Greens
Nicholas Durgeon's Scottish Nationalists
Satan's Sinn Fein
Dr Ian Paisley's DUP
Some other bunch of nonces
I'm foreign, but I wish I were an Englishman

The press in this country needs to be razed to the ground.
Corbyn is long gone and he's still living in their heads.
I'm firmly in the anti-Corbyn camp, but is it really a story that someone organising a strike is left wing?
The Times is a shockingly pro-government rag at the moment to an almost chilling degree.
They're far better at holding random members of the public to account than they are anyone who actually wields any power in the country.
The world is confusing enough at the moment, can you two not start agreeing on politics to make matters worse?
I think me and Boydy would be pretty good at running a brutal dictatorship. I'll get the trains running on time, he can order the murders.
Yevrah can be in charge of commissioning giant statues.
I'd be useless, so just give me Minister of Health
Lewis will be the chief of secret police, with his massive files on everyone. phonics can design the website.
No way we can get him out of the hospitality industry at this point.
'Hangover effect' remains after mini-budget chaos but mortgage shock is over, BoE governor says
Yeah, it absolutely will take some convincing given my mortgage is still likely to go up by about £150 when I remortgage this summer."It is going to take some time to convince people that we are back to where we were before," he said.
I fucking hate this cunt. Hope he gets strung up from a lamppost when the revolution comes.
Is he yet to answer why the interest rates were kept at 0.25% for more than a decade after the last financial crisis, robbing us of the ability to slash rates now, when we usually would? I'm all for dragging Liz Truss, she's a horrible, useless cunt, but the BofE have had more than a hand in this shambles.
I don't really understand it, but the idea of the BoE coining £3.8bn off that whole Truss crisis business strikes me as odd. Have they just robbed that straight from the pension funds who were forced into the buying scheme or what? How does a financial disaster end up with a £3.8bn profit?
This is really testing my memory of something I learned a long, long time ago, but - Essentially, the BofE create the money for loans / bail outs out of thin air. When the money is repaid, it is "deleted", dissolved, errr uncreated(?). Whatever the word is. But the interest paid on the loan remains. It's possibly something to do with that. Who knows. The whole thing is bollocks anyway.
It's almost like 'The Market' is completely fake and nothing matters outside of not pissing off the wrong people.
That's the crux of it.Originally Posted by phonics
Spikey's talking about how they'd normally be cutting interest rates now up above but they've raised them and will do so again in the near future.
Took me a year to get this annoyed about job rejections.
I was working for a NASDAQ company where it was openly discussed how to defraud the market to hit profit objectives while you would still be living at your Mums in Hull for another 4 years you absolute loser. I was sitting in all hands meetings where we were taught how to legally price fix products while you were writing history nerd shit where the only people who bought a copy was a blood relative of yours. Congratulations on being yet another in a long line of anti-government Conservatives whos entire livelihood relies on it that thinks they know more than everyone else. Pathetic.
Was that between failing a major interview on ethics and agonising over a hundred grand a year because Boeing are bad? Weird that you never did anything.
TTH-ers on the ropes today.
1) I failed the interview on ethics over 10 years ago because mine were stronger than the test wants. Devestating own
2) What agonising did you see? I said I'd take it. I know the worlds a load of shit and I just go along with it. Meanwhile you spend a decade in your mums attic until you got into the real world and convince yourself that you're the smartest one in the room because you're the only one in it.
I'll be honest. I'm lost for a response here. What a weird seethe.
I thought that phonics' job was to draw logos.
It's amazing the places it gets you into.
Someone cleans NASA's toilets.
That's my understanding of it too.
Because we've got ourselves into quite a unique (for the West, anyway) situation with both high inflation and a recession. They've decided tackling inflation is more important.
If it helps my brother in law works at Boeing and I can confirm he's a penis.
Yeah and tackling inflation over preventing recession benefits the rich more than the poor (or less the poor and more labour - in the class sense, not the useless political party sense). Tackling inflation, and probably causing a recession in the process, will keep wages down. Who pays wages? Inflation is still unpleasant for everyone sure but it'll normally be followed by pay rises and organised labour flexing its muscle. Who hates that? Inflation also diminishes the value of debt. To whom is debt owed?
I completely agree with you.
I'm here for the chimp out.
Not sure about the debt bit, inflating debt away is way better for 'the rich' as they tend to own the assets inflating in value and have more access to debt as well. Doubt they worry much about the value of their debt dropping.
Not the UK, but the VN President just "resigned" following Covid PPE and repatriation flights scandal in which a number of his inner cycle were implicated and recently sacked.

Did you manage to find a market for that?
Sounds not too bad, some of us are looking at a £450-£500 increase on a fixed rate, slightly less on tracker.
Unfortunately not
How are they so fucking stupid? Literally filming yourself breaking the law and posting it online.
If any public figure who wasn't a politician did that you'd have Tories bealing for them to be banned from driving FOREVER, with their hands cut off to make sure they can't hold a steering wheel just to be sure.
I see Zahawi is in trouble for tax dodging as well.
Operation "just shut up and keep your nose clean" is going well.
It's a nonsense but I did greatly enjoy a gammon on the radio this morning defending him with a "what if he came under attack and his exit from the vehicle was impeded by wearing a seatbelt?"
Edit: Rishi, Nadim is a dirty dirty fuck you could spot from the state of his oily over-shaved skin and noncey glasses long before he made it into major power.
He should pay it publicly with the change he has lying around and then keep doing it. No surrender.
Like a naff Quadrophenia.
He's "agreed" to pay some back to keep out of hot water.
I wish I was so rich that I could tell HMRC whether or not I fancied paying tax this month.
The dirty little midget has gone and crowbarred the member of parliament for Islington North into his final response to Starmer on holocaust memorial day/week/month/year/millenium.
Nothing changes.
I'm liking the idea the BBC director and Zahawi scandals and their unveiling possibly being part of a running battle between Rish and Boris. Probably nonsense but it feeds the hunger for drama.
Holocaust Memorial Lifetime. I have a small - but not disrespectfully so - memorial in my flat.
It's a shame for him, but Rishi is clearly a massive wet blanket. The next election cannot come quickly enough.
A shame? He's a soppy little nerd and it was, at best, a bit weird that he wanted the job at all.
Not to mention a proper manlet. In fact, a lot of world leaders are manlets. I wonder why.
