As hard as it is to believe, that is the actual position of the so-called law and order party.

Jeez, seem to remember that we privatised the water companies so that they could raise funds to invest in infrastructure. Since then there have been zero reservoirs built and our pipes have fallen into disrepair.

Seem to remember the same sort of optimism for Beto O'Rourke in 2022. Really hope the outcome is different this time.

Much of U2's music is political especially their early stuff. Going to their concert & not expecting Bono to amplify their message is misunderstanding the band.

Good way to kill your own beef industry. If infected Argentinian ground beef can be sold alongside home-produced produce or in restaurants then the demand for ALL ground beef will be reduced as customers avoid it for fear of disease/illness.

If you don't understand how these companies are using long cycles for their GPU deprecation (I.e 5 or 6 years rather than normal 2 or 3 years ) to artificially reduce their costs & yet are still burning through cash with no sign of future profits then it is you who are under-informed.

Many people are invested via S&P tracker funds rather than in individual stock to nominally diversify their portfolio. They probably don't realise that about 34% of their fund is now invested in just 7 tightly coupled stocks. All good when AI bubble inflates but disaster when it pops.

Andy Bowes @andyjbowes.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

This bubble is going to have a much bigger pop than the Dot Com bubble as so much of the S&P value is now concentrated in just a handful of companies who have used circular finance to boost each other's 'value'.

They can also dramatically reduce the maximum stake that these informed customers can make to reduce their exposure but use the information that one of these "in the know" gamblers wanted to bet on an outcome to reduce the odds of this outcome. This means that they will also pay out less to others.

It's just like the MAGA faithful in US who voted to remove their own access to SNAP benefits & health care because they thought that Trump was only going to do it to 'other' people. We all are finding out that democracy doesn't function when the populace is deliberately misled & misinformed.

The fact that the Remain campaign was defacto led by the Tory PM & Chancellor meant that the whole vote turned into a vote of confidence in the current government; not helped by the leader of the opposition avoiding commitment on the issue.

We had probably the best deal of any EU country with loads of opt-outs & exceptions. Nothing the EU could have offered would have been good enough to persuade the Little Englanders who voted Leave.

They are happy being angry. Their racism has given them a hobby and a chance to congregate with like-minded morons. Being given the excuse to blame minorities for all their problems absolves them of the need to think critically.

So, there is a precedent for vetoing an MP's resignation Viscount Chelsea (Henry Cadogan) applied for the Chiltern Hundreds in 1842 The Chancellor (Goulburn) refused because, get this, Cadogan wanted to resign to obstruct an investigation for bribery h/t @fascinatorfun.bsky.social and @gazhay.com

Screenshot from the linked article, with the following text highlighted

"The noble Lord had stated, that it was unusual to refuse the Chiltern Hundreds, except on account of mental incapacity, or where proceedings were pending for the expulsion of the applicants from their seats. In this case, however, the House had decided that compromises had been entered into, which had the effect of obstructing the investigation of bribery; "

So it's got nothing to do with inflation hitting the disposable income of the average household then. Eating out & weekends away are always the first expenditures to be cut when people lose confidence in the economy.

IMO, Labour need to change the Chancellor & the economic priorities of the government much more than changing the PM. Zero point voting Labour if they are just going to continue the Tory austerity program.

Vranyo (pronounced vrahn-yoh) is a Russian cultural concept describing an institutionalized or habitual lie where both the person telling the lie and the person hearing it know it is untrue, but both maintain the pretense that it is true.

You appear to be confusing Inglourious Basterds with a documentary. The resistance fighters of WWII were typically local people rather than soldiers and certainly not US soldiers. The UK's Commando & SAS are widely recognised as the blueprint for modern special services.
