Off Topic Politics Thread

Since I posted about this, someone put an “idiots guide” up, which has helped me to understand it a bit more. Maybe some will lose out but as the explanation shows, in this example, the share prices were pushed up by the “masses” buying them, then pushed up again when the hedge fund had to cover their short positions, which hopefully helped most of the masses come out of it ok.
Now, if only something like this would happen to Rees Mogg.

 

Have they ever been seen in the same room at the same time?

 

An interesting piece about how bi-lateral agreements between countries could benefit our workers.

Utter bastards! They just don’t care do they? They are totally unaccountable to us, the electorate, can basically do what they want with OUR money (raised through taxation) and, if they’re challenged, they can use bully boy tactics to try and scare off any questioning.
It’s official - the U.K. government are now in full fascist dictatorial mode!!

 

And, sadly, quite a few private and company pensions are tied into these hedge funds, whether you like it or not

 

That's ****ing outrageous from the EU.

Brexit: EU introduces controls on vaccines to NI - BBC News

 

I can see why they have done it, but its does seem to be an overreaction to the vaccine shortfall, which could completely destabilise the Trade Deal.

 

They've also breached the terms of the Brexit deal.

 

I know, that’s what I meant.

 

Oops, didn't read it properly. Anyway, I think there's going to be some kind of reaction from the UK. NI are livid and will put Boris under pressure to act and he's not the EU's biggest fan.

 

I was an ardent remainer but this is a really terrible look from the EU.

 

How ironic that it is actually the EU that instigates the Hard border in NI. Who’d have thought!

 

At least we can now ditch the nonsense border of the Irish Sea as the EU have made the first (poor) move

 

What worries me most is the effect on the Good Friday Agreement, which obviously depends on there being no hard border.

 

They clearly don’t give a f**k, always find about someone when the chips are down

 

Btw I’m invested in NI as my wife’s family are from South Tyrone and side to the Provo’s

 

They wouldn’t be the first

 

Undoubtedly a colossal toss up from the EU here, they have already started backtracking.

In the wider Brexit context its still something like 119-1 to the EU mind. Totally unsurprisingly for the first actual real Brexiteer 'victory' of the whole last 4 years, it is still something that manages to be bad for the UK.

 

This is a joke right?

 

I wonder if it could be argued that battering a fox and tweeting about it could be bully boy tactics?
