Too many people are no longer working The ‘Telegraph View’ articles must be written by the editor or one of his subordinates yet they appear to be blind to the bleeding obvious. Listening to the Chief Economist at the Bank of England is folly – it is more than pension limitations. The real reason why some people like myself are “economically inactive” is because the Governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, went way over the top with Quantitative Easing (QE), ignoring the warnings about the impact of cheap money on the economy; and Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak threw money around in a profligate way during the pandemic in a manner that would have been expected of an incompetent Labour government. With inflation eroding my savings, why would I want to work and earn more savings – to be eroded by inflation – and pay taxes on it to finance the debt that I did not create or approve? I am not eligible for any of the benefits that my taxes would be funding, so why should I fund them? I will just live off my savings for now and wait for the disastrous Lefties to take over at the next election and totally destroy the economy. Almost weekly, Sir Keir Starmer calls for a General Election but this is disingenuous because only a deranged man would want to run the country just as a recession starts by adding a massive ‘green’ debt pile. Blaming twelve years of the Tories will quickly wear thin as they are reminded of the mess that Gordon Brown left.
Every decade I have been alive (4 of them) "the economy is a mess", "wars across the globe", "dangerous new diseases", "uncontrolled immigration", "we need change", blah, blah ****in blah. Business as usual as far as I can see. Nothing changes.
Threads like these lost their seriousness many versions back. They exist as a source of amusement at lefty ****wittery and hypocrisy, and a monument to the ****witted lefties that have us rent free in their heads. Only the dimwitted lefties haven't worked any of that out yet, and seemingly never will.
Here he is, Mr Staypress ffs Inflation is eroding savings so you decided to spend it all You do know there are alternatives, for example something called investments. You do understand the difference between savings and investments right? Or are you a complete imbecile? By the way, the "benefits that your taxes are funding" are things like education, police, NHS, fire service, armed forces, basic infrastructure such as roads and railways, maintaining natural resources and the environment, investing in scientific/medical research. Unless you plan on living the rest of your life as a hermit in your ma's boxroom like you have the previous 50+ years, you ARE benefiting from them you absolute fcking shambles of a man Shut up and sit down ya daft ****
Sounds like another fully paid up member of the libertarian tufton street mob. Thank fck their warped ideology has been exposed as an absolute failure.
A bit harsh on Kussturd, Quarterbrain, the Easter Bunny and Simple Simon ... but, for once, you do appear to have a valid point
You are spot on, Labour and Tory govs are useless. 2 years time Labour will win and they will screw up, followed by the Torys etc etc

You really are as thick as ****. I have a load of investments but most of them are tanking at the moment as global equity markets are all down this year because the economic malaise is not restricted to this country. Just as well I have little exposure to Europe as it is tanking worse than us, but do not remind Remainers that the United States of France is a total disaster that the Germans are struggling to keep running. A complete imbecile like you would manage to misinterpret the word “benefits” in this context. The education system is a dumbed down, Leftie dominated brainwashing exercise that is no longer fit for purpose, turning out ******s like you. If I recall correctly, some part of my Council Tax bill goes towards the useless Humberside police. On the three occasions I have had dealings with them they have proven to be one hundred per cent incompetent, so next time someone commits an offence I will handle it myself. Why would I want to fund the Soviet Health Service? The quicker it collapses the quicker that a working system will replace it. Stealth taxes on cars and petrol should be paying for the roads but there is no hypothecation in the tax system. Railways should be funded by those that use them with no subsidy from me. Most scientific and medical research is financed by the private sector so medicines become more expensive to recoup costs on failed research.
I see that Brain Dead Bacon has resorted to recycling month old Twatter posts that he originally recycled a month ago. One of the mods should change his account name “fvcking memory span of a goldfish”... It is far too much to expect an imbecile like you to have noticed with an economics knowledge that would fit on a postage stamp. The quickest way to reduce inflation in Britain and Europe would be for the United States to devalue the US dollar, something that the Fed almost certainly knows but dementia-riddled Sleepy Joe is clueless about.
