Mr E
Watch barrier on netflix - just the vision of our so called democracy - fascist rule - but not for ever.

[mr.elbee] 11/2/2021 17:57

no better,scruff ...probably even worse...with the other lot

face it my friend..this is a dictatorship run by fascists [if you are a lefty] or communists[if you are right wing].

This is world wide ,and there is nothing anyone can do about it...and in these fair islands you can be damn certain there will be zero resistance.

[jl5006] 11/2/2021 17:46

Is Such not dead scruff?

Voters need to give the tories a SEVERE kicking at the local elections (if they allow one). This Coronovirus Act has made em power crazed and arrogant. The electorate need to show em whose really the boss whilst they are still able. Reform UK if available if not Raving Loonies (the ones who admit it)etc

Dont be surprised if Sunak resigns - remember Javid gave it up bcos his backroom boys were taken away.
The treasury - ie the CS is running the country - that was not what democracy is about - small d - denial of what should be.
Voting - for what was ?

And all this energy consumed to generate stupid arbitrary numbers whilst governments look to tax/charge families more for energy used to cook and heat homes. You couldn't make it up. I would charge the professional crypto miners energy fees.


As the price of numptycoin goes up and less get mined liquidity converges towards zero when at some inflection point buys turn into sells and someone like Elon says NewCoinSponsoredbyMoronicBillionaire is the favourite coin to be in. Then watch the rats run.

This is why Bitcoin is not an inflation hedge: it doesn't have the exclusivity in cryptos. Neither does it have the backing of central banks like gold has.

There are currently 18,625,900 bitcoins in existence. This number changes about every 10 minutes when new blocks are mined. Right now, each new block adds 6.25 bitcoins into circulation.

No more bitcoins or mining when it gets to 21 million.

Lef,
Absolutely agree. But what do you expect from an OE!
:)

Farage keeps busy.
I do wish he'd get the acknowledgment he deserves

[lefrene] 11/2/2021 16:01

Gecko, Nigel Farage could have told you that on the day little Cameron was sent away with a flea in his ear. We do at least have Cameron to thank for the referendum, even if he was acting out of pique of the EU. It was Camerons cowardice in not seeing it through, and opening the door to Treason May that was unforgiveable.

It's quite possible the Euro could crumble, and that would likely be a trigger for club-med and Ireland to head for the exit, which would give the UK the opportunity to invite them to join a free trade system. The French and Germans would be left to their own company, and if such a thing happened I feel we should make no effort to rescue the French from the Germans again.

[minerve 2] 11/2/2021 15:23

All these were explained to you knuckle heads.

[poikka] 11/2/2021 15:20

Quite so, Gecko, but it's the timing that's all important - hence the 'give them enough rope' comment.

[poikka] 11/2/2021 15:19

"In his letter yesterday, Mr Sefcovic said: "The protocol is the solution agreed by the UK and the EU to these challenges: it is the only way to protect the Good Friday (Belfast) Agreement, preserving peace and stability and avoiding a hard border on the island of Ireland."

What's the difference between the present situation and a hard border? The only way it could have been made harder would have been to put up a soddin great wall.

It's like the EU saying that the Eiffel Tower is an ice cream, and expecting everyone to believe it.

[geckotheglorious] 11/2/2021 15:09

Uk needs to return fire Poikka.
Fight fire with fire.

[poikka] 11/2/2021 15:05

Re. the Irish border issue.

Firstly, it's got sod all to do with peace, and everything to do with the EU attempting to split the UK and just generally cause the UK problems. Just to confirm that:

"The letter said the European Union was examining more flexibility on steel but that on the issues of pet travel between Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of movements of seed potatoes and other plants, any flexibility would entail the United Kingdom committing to align with EU rules."

Either their bureaucrats haven't been told that we're now outside of the EU, or they believe themselves to be all powerful bullies who can run roughshod over other countries. Would we suggest that the EU would have to commit to aligning with UK rules?

I hope that it's the latter and that our government will give them enough rope in order that they eventually hang themselves - metaphorically speaking I should add.

Xavier Rolet calls London stock trading loss a ‘sideshow’ — the true Brexit barometer is swaps

The interest rate swaps market is a far more important yardstick to measure Brexit's true costs, says the former London Stock Exchange CEO

Noone will eat chicken in a few years. 1 chicken feeds 2 per sitting that's a lot of chicken deaths & suffering. I wonder what extinction rebellion will have to say when we start cloning Woolly Mammoths for a food source...square that circle lol.
