(Along with tax funded handouts, travel concessions etc which they will receive net). If you're 'poor' what else are you paying money on that will have you competing with the Abramovichs of this world ? If you're motoring, smoking, drinking, holidaying etc you're not poor. I did ask the other socialist clown to define rich so it would be easier to nail down exact figures but he was already floundering with other issues so I didn't press it! Though he'll be along in a minute with something else that's nothing to do with his original gripe Tory c u next Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though of course the whole ethos of socialism is its easier to whinge about others peoples success than get off your fat arse and join them! My work is done here - you can't fix stupid ! And I still hold that the rich should pay more, you think they shouldn’t, we disagree. Your position seems to be that as long as the poor have a crust of bread they should be happy, again, we disagree. It’s your inability to formulate a coherent response that has you resorting to name-calling, not my stupidity. I make pretty good dough, I just care more about the poor than you do.

Heard the US Sec State talking tonight about how the US will do all it can to help the UK with the hard Brexit transition... Including a quick free trade agreement... Which will be everything in favour of the US particularly anything related to pharmaceuticals But no different than the stance taken by the EU in their negotiations.

RickG16 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 When will they sort out this sorry mess. Whichever way you voted in Brexit, I'm sure most people can see that a compromise of some sorts needs to be reached for the good of everybody... The problem is, politicians and many of the general public is so far up their own backside with their political beliefs that they can't see a compromise has to be reached. This is is the problem in a badly run democracy. We need some strong leadership that isn't going to please everybody but will get the UK out of this hole. I'm sure a certain other female PM of yesteryear wouldn't have been afraid to make some unpopular decisions to get us out of this mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, whatever happens, the rate should go back up, right now we are at the peak of uncertainty, all markets hate uncertainty which is why we are seeing these shambolic rates. The UK government needs a complete update and to get rid of some of the dead wood - this has proved that they are about as much use as an inflatable dartboard.
