I love a bit of gold in the morning It's like it's rigged. I dont Sunak would become king, unless the bankers really are deciding who is PM

There is absolutely no coherent tax policy at all in the U.K. so you end up with nonsense like the Chancellor freezing personal allowances, raising NIC and then talking about cutting Basic Rate Tax by a 1p. They need to make much more significant changes to tax and benefits than this sort of tinkering. At the very least benefit rises should be set at the middle of some basic range that can never increase by a greater percentage than average wages.

It’s certainly possible. But printing bad, is trickling out. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/mervyn-king-needless-money-printing-fuelled-inflation One of the major problems, Lord King said, was that the Bank went too hard and too fast with its money printing. ‘Governments stepped in and put in a lot of money for furlough schemes or raising unemployment benefits. That was very sensible,’ he said. ‘The problem was that central banks also printed a great deal of money and that wasn't needed… it put a lot of money into the system. We know the state has the ability to move most of the country in any direction it wants, when it wants. It’s going to become a race between policy change, led by those that do understand and those that don’t or have an interest in the current system. Once it’s policy that increasing velocity is the last they should do, it stops. I don’t know who wins or if they move quickly enough. But I’m fairly optimistic. I think Putin has given them something else to worry about and they’re fundamentally weak people.. They’ll blink, if there is enough resistance to proposed tax thefts.

Has anyone in power thought about raising IRs 10% ? That might fix something.

My only worry is that with the new Boris pics today he will be out shortly and we will get someone even worse such as Rishi or Jeremy Cunt taking us full WEF then be forced to choose between them and Keir fucking Starmer at the next elections Our only real hope is if the sheeple reject all this and we get something genuinely different but populist leaders always tend to be wring uns in the end too
