200000 catching up on New Lie

I am concerned about Vetran's mental health.

I thing he would do better watching Gladiators instead of listening to the news all the time.

I’m not, it’s just who he is.

For those who aren't enamoured with Farage & Co, it's probably just as well a GE is 4 years away.

Surely "things can only get better" by then?

Better for whom? Islington and the unions perhaps, probably not the rest of us...

[WTFH]

Are all these people signing up to Reform Ltd becoming shareholders? Are they hoping to get a cut of the man of the people's grift?

4 years for the economy to improve (on its own because I doubt it would be any thanks to Labour).
4 years for inflation, and the cost of living crises, to be a distant memory.
4 years for the Tories to make a miraculous comeback.

Otherwise, it's Prime Minister Farage...

No it won't , without a major change in approach. Perhaps starting with a Chancellor that understands macroeconomics

I'm guessing you weren't around in the 70s.

Or come to some sort of agreement with Farage? Don't care what Farage or Badenoch say now, if there are three main parties, a sharing agreement of some kind would be a necessity.

Otherwise, it's Prime Minister Farage...

Possibly. More likely he would be Chancellor.

Dunno why CUK is lot less busy than used to be, sure it's not just V. Maybe we are all getting fed up with the world in general. When assisted suicide bcomes law I expect 40% of the population will apply.

Slightly more seriously, apart from the actual legal contracting & technical help, we do need less politics and more bollux of the amusing sort. Bit of porn would be nice too.

Yes I was, and I hope we're not facing a repeat of that period.

The economy is cyclical and may improve, irrespective of anything the Government does or doesn't do. Think back to the late 90s/early 2000s (under New Labour).

Everyone is now inside and doesn't need valuable, well presented and factually correct information anymore.
