"OUR MONEY"
"OUR PEOPLE"

Please define both. Is there a snapshot in time?

How does allowing a national asset to be sold off to Arabs on the cheap to be used as a decade long cash cow differ from writing a cheque to improve transport infrastructure in Budapest?

Can't see a banking crisis coming tbh. Government backed loans and stress tests have avoided that possibility. That said I expect the next results and the following to be bad, not crisis bad, but bad.

Third world country?

Another good one from the wee tit.

As usual Alp misses the point and gets all uppity and way off the message. I neither have the time nor the inclination to get into a long drawn out discussion on the matter. Plain and simple "OUR MONEY" "OUR PEOPLE". Now go and get a life because you're wasting mine.

BB pls get away
we have had enough - and we will save a fortune

#603. Then please explain how budget and trade deficits are financed?

Understanding trade deficits for Martians:
A trade deficit occurs when there is a negative net amount or negative balance in an international transaction account. The balance of payments (international transaction accounts) records all economic transactions between residents and non-residents where a change in ownership occurs.

So the mask magic to get msn s(mentally sub normals - there appear to millions of them) out of their homes means that a sane person who does not wish to follow this intrusive and mad guidance - masks aid nothing in this instance - just read -
Are we to be barred from shops and s markets when their staff dont have to.
PHE is the absolute pits and why
BJ - close PHE now!
Put Vallance on gardening leave and Witless on litter picking.
Enough is indeed enough

At least the 350 billion is OUR money spent in OUR country and not given away to "who knows what" sponging little tin pot country...

[maxk] 20/7/2020 19:22

Hold on Alp.


Do you mean to suggest that had we stayed, the €U would have picked up the bill?

[minerve 2] 20/7/2020 19:13

Bravo Ms May. Integrity over spin, good to see.

Lloyds report half year earnings on 30th July. Judging by the movement of the share price the results will be disappointing.

"costing 80bn Euros"

........borrow around £350bn instead.

Cut off your nose to spite your face?

Why dodge an EU bullet when you can make your own and fire up a Gatling gun?

Only a Scot would spot the difference between Stirling and Sterling.

Er, no. Any educated person would. Some wouldn't feel it was worth mentioning, though.

Crikey Labours Jonathan Ashworth's low rent isn't he? I though he was shadow minister for double glazing but apparently not...its HEALTH! What could possibly be the worst possible constituency for a labour shadow health minister to represent? You've guessed it Leicester Sth! Fkin unbelievable!! Wheres captain Hindsight when u need him?

Thanks Bob for correcting my spelling mistake
Only a Scot would spot the difference between Stirling and Sterling.
The greatest moment in Scottish history occurred there, followed closely by the invention of the Haggis.
Can't think of anything else significant apart from the Bay City Rollers.

Gecko refers to me as a China-phile.
A great new word, I like it.
It is all moving so fast, I diagnose Gecko as a China-phobe.

Might be their age LB?

[mr.elbee] 20/7/2020 16:30

contaminated batches anyone?

First off..UNTIL the wonderful NHS workers take this stuff............ 100% of them...........

no way hose.

[only 40-50% of workers in the NHS take the current flu jab. I wonder why]

[maxk] 20/7/2020 15:16

Bend over...

[geckotheglorious] 20/7/2020 14:52

Careful
Post 310574

They aren't protesters though.
What the Chinese are engaging in is ethnic cleansing and genocide.

"We have many personal freedoms in the uk. and we take them for granted.
But when I see protesters for Black Lives Matter, Climate change protestors, Me too,Statues removed, property damage I wonder if we are not authoritarian enough"


Agree. I'd have all those movements shut down,their leaders imprisoned.
Statues being defaced, criminal damage, rioting, innocent people being attacked.
No excuses. They need to be stamped ojn hard.



"Are you happy with all of these organised protestors Gekko?"

No.




"and how would you handle the Hong Kong protests?"

Hong Kong protesters want freedom. All the above you list want socialism/communism.




"There is a big difference between anarchy and peaceful protest"

Anyone disputing such?



"Does anyone remember the miners strikes and Arthur Scargill's flying pickets?"

Yes they were suitably crushed.


"Me, recently accused of being a left winger, was on the side of the Government"
Well congrats...but as I said, most Anti American China-philes tend to be Lefties.
