"we've been in a dictatorship in the UK for a while, thing is , not many people have seen it"

Do you know what a dictatorship is?
Even during the lockdown, people were allowed out for essentials or for exercise.

Countries around the world had strict lockdown, curfews but nothing like that here..
In a curfew, you could be shot... In India if you ventured out during the curfew, you would be shot.. Even then, it is not a dictatorship...

People here have had freedom to move, speak etc.. During conflicts in middle east, people were stuck indoors for weeks/months for fear of being shot or killed..

The fact you are able to say whatever you wish on social media clearly shows the UK is not a dictatorship...
The fact you have full access to the internet clearly shows UK are not in a dictatorship..

Richard Mortimer27 Jul 2020 8:15AMThey have had 4 years to prepare for thisDonald Tidy27 Jul 2020 8:21AM@Richard Mortimer Not true. For 90% of that time those in government told us we were going to get a great deal. Said it was 'a million to one against a deal'.How is business supposed to prepare for a one in a million chance of no deal?John Condon27 Jul 2020 8:40AM@Donald Tidy @Richard MortimerNobody believed that at the time.And certainly nobody believes it now.Brits have consistently underestimated the malign intent of the EU. Simply perusing through Yanis Varoufakis' book "The adults in the room" shows that the EU did not choose the best way to get their money back - they chose the best way to punish Greece even if that choice reduced significantly the speed of repayment and the total amount repaid.We still think the EU will be reasonable - we are wrong. We must be taught a lesson like the Greeks - even if that damages the EU and its citizens.Charles Lee27 Jul 2020 8:47AM@Donald Tidy @Richard Mortimer This assumed that the EU were sane enough to want to preserve their £91 billion annual trade surplus with Britain.Who'd have thought they were more interested in punishing Britain for its outrageous cheek in wanting to leve their clutches?Who'd have thought they didn't care about the economic damsge to their people

GtG - gosh, we agree on something!

They need to speak to someone who has been brought up under the USSR.

[geckotheglorious] 27/7/2020 11:36

Oh good grief, Mr Elbee thinks similar.

Looks nincompoops if you haven't lived in an actual dictatorship you have no comprehension what one is..


and the UK most certainly isn't a dictatorship.

Hilarious.

You two kids really are laughable.

[geckotheglorious] 27/7/2020 11:35

UK a dictatorship?
Hahahaha you conspiratorial twit.

cheshire - Lol, they may be getting us worked up on the sprats (literally) while they are eyeing up the 'opportunities' in other areas. ;)

[cheshire pete] 27/7/2020 11:29

Ssssssssshhhhh......don't tell 'em Alphorn. For all we know our competitors may not be smart and clued up enough to work it out for themselves lol.

M2's post should IMO be extended to cover a basic SWOT or better, a SWOTI analysis.

The media is picking off relative emotional peanuts without getting to grips with the situation. It does not help anybody and certainly does not educate anybody. On here the emotional peanuts go off the scale.

So what are the UK's:
S strengths
W weaknesses
O opportunities
T threats
I issues

Some thoughts over lunch.

[alphorn] 27/7/2020 11:07

G2 - the foreign aid budget is relatively small beer in the total context of things. Not to say that it should not be reviewed but don't get side-tracked and have it on centre stage.

I am with M2 in his post today - better to invest money in your winners - rather than save what are pennies.

[freddie01] 27/7/2020 11:01

I'm guessing Fresdie is a loser reading all of the drivel above.

Not really I find all these rants amusing.






GeckotheGlorious thinking he can put the record straight on the forum.

Grown men arguing every single day.Take a look closer to home and chill out.

Let's not go overboard, old chap!

Boris is delivering a real Brexit, and when he says no deal is better than a bad deal, he means it. He is cracking down on the scandal of foreign aid. He is bringing the overmighty, politicized judiciary to heel.

These things are not nothing.

we've been in a dictatorship in the UK for a while, thing is , not many people have seen it, they have sneaked this in on us slowly, all becoming a bit too obvious now, people are starting to see it, trouble is , it is way too late,

5xy - BRWM has some 33% in gold mining stocks, and a tasty yield.

[alphorn] 27/7/2020 10:51

max #170. Lovely!

[cheshire pete] 27/7/2020 10:50

5xy: at the right time gold can be very lucrative. Companies that already have proven gold deposits generally do better than explorers in my experience. Problem is it only happens infrequently, and as Mike Moonshine says typically in times of high inflation.

Don't tell Gordon Brown though lol.

[mr.elbee] 27/7/2020 10:49
