    That's what I meant by those in public services mate. I had high hopes for Mark Rowley coming in and really sorting things out with the Met, but he's been hamstrung with the red tape and can't even get shot of his own bad apples

    And all of this rubbish IS a disease, just like the climate change and Net Zero lies we're all being fed, and it all needs to be reversed and some common sense and British values applied to it.

    Whilst I believe racism is abhorrent, and things needed to change from when we were growing up, I believe it’s gone way too far the other way, I have to say most of your post I’m in complete agreement with. I just think it’s about each of us being a bit more mindful and considerate than we used to be. Forcing people to comply, or at least pretend to does more harm than good.
    As for adverts don’t get me started on their so called diversity make up. It drives me nuts.

    That’s an ironic response coming from you, a previous reply of yours to one of my previous posts reads, and I quote. “

    “I am not even going to read beyond this asyou have been on the same vibe since forever.. you dont seem to be able to see through the smoke to see the real picture“

    that’s a weak excuse if ever I heard one, mine about it being a football forum and too much going on football wise was accurate, I had 15 flags at one point in relation to Sott, i really didn’t want to waste my time explaining, when as your previous reply indicates your mind is closed, you’ve made your decision and aren’t open to opposing views.

    The replies I put up were the conclusions of investigations by the way, not just my views, but obviously you know better than a panel of experts that, after reviewing all the facts have drawn their own conclusion. I don’t know why we even bother setting up review bodies, maybe we should just save time. Give them your details and let you decide as plainly you know better than anyone else <laugh><laugh><laugh>

    Going back to the original question, for me it's booze and women.

    my mind is never closed... you made a statement! I gave an answer that followed the events from 2010 to 2018 [ you say austerity was 10 years? thats wrong it was closer to 8 ]
    My Q was asking you to explain how it is expected to spend a further £500bn when we already owe £550bn, I set out reasoning of how and why not. Simply asked for you to explain your belief!

    note
    spend of £550bn = approx £8, 333 for every man woman and child in the UK [ debt passed on ] add the next lot of £500bn and it would be close to £16,000 per every man woman and child. and that would only be for 2 of many things the .gov would have to deal with ..like the annual budget. ........... TO PAY ALL EXISTING bills ... police nurses public servants etc etc etc

    Austerity started 2010, it went well beyond 2018, I know maths isn’t your strong point, but that’s pretty basic stuff <laugh><laugh>

    There's a distinction between buying them to eat and what we do to them!

    Don’t you have to pay the farmer for the “use” of his sheep?

    They're not locked up 24/7 you know. What the farmers eye doesn't see... something something something.

    coalition started [ basically after summer recession ] with first year in parliament! which was after May 2010 first major budgets and revised manifesto's started in 2011 they continued until, with belt tightened, until 2018 /2019 [ July] thats when Boris was stating the uk was now able to do lots of things as we were now in the black and called a GE for Dec 2019 = landslide.


    SO whilst the year 2010 was only a part of! and bearing in mind AUSTERITY DIDNT START ON DAY 1 of the Tory win and we were told worst over in mid latter part of 2018 I would rest my case. Math's is not one of my strong points but back in the days of GCE .. I did get 3rd highest pass rating of the 10 I took I got through on 7 and 3 were better than Maths ... 1 was science another divinity! or whatever they called it back then
