'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

South Africa was always about colonial guilt. If it was really about human rights, the protestors would have been raging outside the Liberian embassy or those others ranked even worse by Amnesty and the UN etc.

I'm good with Africa just being for Africans as long as Europe can be just for Europeans.

Make it so.

'Rishi's recession'.

Out of the 5 Sunak pledges only reducing inflation remains, and most people think it would come down faster without him.

The tories and labour, wealthy bankers' parties Mk1 and Mk 2, pursue the same failed economic model.

Recession ? the huge elephant in the room that the Government tagged as a Cost of Living Crisis.
As long as you don't talk about it, it never happened,...

I agree there is nothing to choose between the two main parties now.

Labour will win and spend the next term moaning about the economic situation they inherited just as Conservatives did 14 years ago.

Reeves is constantly back pedalling and trotting out the Lablour is going to be fiscally responsible line.

I suspect when the election is close there will be some across the board tax cuts, if inflation continues down there will be room for some interest rate cuts.

All quite depressing really.

Apart from the US most major economies are in the same state but even if we are doing better than Germany it's no reason for celebration, just means Germans will buy less UK goods.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.
