Holden McGroin 7763 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I fail to see how he released the mini-budget without her approval. And if she hadn't seen it then surely thats just piss poor management. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the fuck is the point in democracy if people aren't provided with the factual information they need and instead are subjected to propaganda from Putin's sock puppets? The fact the actual votes are correctly counted in that context is irrelevant. You know what, that gives the illusion of democracy but instead is the exact opposite. I'd honestly prefer not having democracy under these circumstances. Expand I meant the peddlers of lies should be punished. what alternative to democracy would you like, other than campaigners run campaigns and people vote on which one they are allied to? Nothing is factual (during election campaigns) , everything is opinion. You are allowed to believe in survival of the fittest, you are allowed to believe in collectism , it's a personal thing. But saying people cant vote because they are "stupid" is oppressive and more in line with a totalitarian regime !

From where I sit, they've lost that argument as soon as they start funneling tax payers money to bail out failure - market forces were supposed to put an end to that "big business will fail" - has become "sorry, they are too big to fail". This energy crisis is just another cash grab - why the fuck are we giving taxpayers money directly to energy firms that are setting high prices? At the very least means test it - but the absolute basic economic rules are that you put price where supply and demand meet , to maximise revenue . If people can't pay a high price, then the company has to reduce its margins. Help the absolutely fucked , sure - but directly and transparently .

Despite the best efforts of these fucktards, the country has seen growth every single year up to the pandemic , whilst they used austerity to follow their ideology of cutting public services.

China, Germany and the US are exporters and producers. We are a services economy now (thanks tories) Perpetual growth is impossible in a world with finite resources anyway.
