Sometimes you find social media is a good thing, now you don’t have to believe the s hite MPs tell you because there are far brainier people in normal life let them know they are talking s hit. Also honestly does anyone on here think these people in their positions are intelligent enough to run a country ( yes, a country ) they couldn’t run the smallest business if you gave it to them, that’s MPs from any party, all gormless bastards.
I Googled 'British woman totally out of her depth' and, amazingly, Truss wasn't at the top of the list ... .... https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.s...r-falling-off-cruise-ship-in-croatia-11476770
You're absolutely right that it would help calm the situation, it would also build trust in politics and educate the public all at the same time. It would be an entirely different conversation if they could put economic experts out there to explain how the decisions help the economy (with financial models), studies they've used or real life examples in other countries. The fact that they wouldn't even allow the OBR give them a forecast though, suggests that little thought went into it beyond ideology.
A man is driving along the road when he realises that he's lost, so he stops to ask a passer by. "Excuse me, could you help me please? I have a meeting at 2pm, I'm running 30 mins late and I have no idea where I am." "Of course" said the stranger. "You are in a car, on the A43 heading north, approximately 7miles and 400 yards from the city centre, 40º longitude and 58º latitude." "You work for the government, don't you?" asked the driver. "Yes. How did you guess?" "Quite simple: everything that you just said is technically correct, but practically useless. I'm still lost, I'm still going to be late, and I have no idea what to do with your information." "You are a politician, aren't you?" asks the man on the street. "Yes. How did you guess?" replies the driver. "Quite simple. You have no idea where you're going, you've made a promise that you can't keep and you expect someone else to solve your problem. In fact, you are in exactly the same situation that you were before you stopped to ask me, yet somehow it's now my fault!"
I'm sick of hearing 'we're listening to people and changing our policies if they moan' ... ... run the f**CK*Ng country ffs, this is the tail wagging the dog
It does seem the Conservative party members have chosen the wrong dynamic duo, the MPs would rather have had Penny Mordant as PM and Sunak as chancellor .
The Yanks manipulated the market. It was always going to be a short term gain while other currencies tanked against it. The rate will keep going up, now.
By the definition of what was said on here on the 23rd, the mini budget is now a roaring success with just a minor tweak
What they should do is listen to people before they make policies, not after. The Tory MP's immediately and openly said they were against it, how hard is it to listen to them before making unpopular decisions. And if they get it wrong they should take it on the chin, not lay the blame on the public by insinuating they've moaned about a perfectly good policy that has now had to be dropped. They're supposed to lead, not follow voxpops.
Bankers in this country will have shorted it massively as well and will get a nice fat reward in the shape of an uncapped bonus at the end of it all.
