My fixed rate is coming to an end. It’s gone from 2.14% to 4.69% Thankfully only another £200 a month which isn’t the end of the world but something that everyone could do without.

Aye, like Renton said, that's a nice family meal out, or a treat etc.  

Fucking Tories.  Fucking utter CUNTS

The thing with the trans issue is it’s another thing they’ve tried to weaponise to play to their base. Even in the wake of this, another entirely avoidable and entirely of their own making PR disaster

I'm just going to land this here. Two years ago I was in a desperate place, I reached out and for some reason you were there and really helped me. We don't see eye to eye on everything Rayvin but you

My first wife had her period on our honeymoon.    Not since Pearl Harbor has a Japanese flag seen so much action in Hawaii.

The other thing about the interest rates being ‘normal’ is it being against a backdrop of the highest inflation in a couple of generations. Which, despite the Tories almost unchallenged claims that it is beyond their control and nothing to do with Brexit, is roughly double what comparable economies are experiencing.

Yeah, inflation is not the fault of the government apparently, and yet Sunak has made reducing inflation by 50% on of his pledges, which will happen naturally anyway, but he's happy to take a credit? He can't have it both ways the jug eared gnome cunt. Haven't seen anyone on MSM challenge this like, surprise.

 

Talking of which, the BBC were a fucking disgrace this morning. Upon news the economy had shrunk 0.2% in March, they announced the economy had grown and recession had been avoided (based on the 3 month data most of which wasn't even new showing 0.1% growth). No mention that we are STILL the only economy that are well below pre-covid levels. Fucking shysters.

Inflation is mainly being driven by energy prices (amongst other factors). Its not being caused by increased demand.

Using interest rates to control this kind of inflation isn't going to work.

That's what I've been thinking but what do I know. People need to eat and keep warm, increasing their mortgage isn't going to change this demand.

I was just saying the latest increases are on top of other financial burdens. I wasn’t suggesting it would help much in terms of solving the underlying issues.

I still find it quite staggering that MPs aren’t held to the same basic principles of employment as the rest of of us - if we lie, and are proven to have done so, to our employers, we can expect to have our employment terminated. 
 

I’ve yet to hear why MPs who blatantly lie aren’t summarily peddled.

In the main those that appoint them (the voters) are too stupid.

Not a thought given to what is actually right and just. Only what will give them the best chance of winning the next election.

That's every politician's personal manifesto.

He’s the local mayor. Not that they seem to be any more accountable

While that is canny funny the amount of stick he got for that sums this country up. Certainly large swathes of the media and the dopey cunts that lap up that sort of thing. Cameron got less coverage for sticking his cock in a dead pig’s head

Faced even less for throwing the entire fucking  country in the rubbish bin to keep his anti-europe chums happy.
