  1. But something I consider a truism none the less, but in this scenario I don’t think there is anything chaotic about it, it’s just another clue that there is some kind of agreed agenda…..I don’t believe “clever” people do things by accident.
  2. I could explain but it would be completely pointless, I’ll nip outside and explain it to the dog who frankly will have a better grasp and less predictable responses. Crack on old chap
  3. Fact of the matter is, that old lady don’t matter any more…….nobody outside “the narrative” does.
  4. Best of luck to her mate
  5. Just keep in mind he isn’t trying to make any point, he is just writing stuff to provoke reactions and then you can choose to engage or ignore any of it as you see fit mate.
  6. No, we are talking about a possible war in Europe as per the title of the thread……when that happens and I believe it’s highly likely, then you will be able to trace a direct line from every other thing mentioned on this thread to that conflict.
  7. Here’s some basic reality, as we fund a land grab in Ukraine to the tune of billions a butchers shop that has been going for 30 year in my old town closes its doors for the final time this week, a top lad, always good for a chat, just an ordinary white hard working bloke who sold a good product at good prices……the green grocer who was across the street now power washes block paved drive ways ! Alan & Scot, a disappearing type of Englishmen ! I suppose a mobile phone shop, Turkish barbers or take a way will replace them no doubt assisted by generous grants.
  8. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…..it’s a duck ! We are being abused right, left and centre on a daily basis.
  9. And the culture was still shite…..
  10. The culture of the organisation was different then, nothing to do with money
  11. No, it’s not because……everyone don’t pay exactly the same % Then and only then is it truly fair
  12. I don’t think funding has anything to do with it at all
  13. I used to have a new lad here and there work for me who was a total wanker, you would always hear them talking the same crap “if I had £50 more a day I’d be brilliant”……..and here is the fact, no, they wouldn’t….they would still be a wanker except they would be a more expensive wanker…..which is much the same scenario as we see with the NHS ! The trouble with spending other peoples money is that nobody cares about it, it has no value, you just burn it and get more and that’s the way it go’s
  14. That’s a different thing, you posed the question (sort of) of if taxes were necessary…..and I answered you. Now, if you want to delegate more to the state of course they want paying for that, however, it still don’t add up to the gargantuan amounts they are taking off you with one hand and running up on the debt clock with the other (which you will also be paying for) …..and yes I am a fan of helping those most in need but again, it’s the every tenth beast under the Rod scenario and help as a social act rather than an enforced expropriation of private peoples money (a fraction of which th
  15. So your are not an advocate of fair tax then mate…….and yes, I am upto mischief with my question ! Lol
  16. Hence the engineered break up of the family unit mate, now 2 people are working with salary’s just enough to float (if they make full use of the credit card of course !)….eat some junk and pay “them”, all those “them’s” ! Leave people alone and they would thrive a lot better and be a lot happier…..but there’s no money in leaving them alone
  17. No, they are not ! The only thing we should truly delegate to a government is security (foreign and domestic) and infrastructure……for that we should accept that we willingly contribute. If government just did the things government are meant to do the “tax” rate would be about 3%….true story
  18. Zero !……it don’t cost anything ! You cant tax your way to prosperity You can’t borrow your way into the black You can’t legislate your way to freedom ! There is no cost to improving peoples lives, that’s why they don’t do it.
  19. You can say that again ! Lol
  20. I’ve always believed one of the very best things about football (or any proper sport I suppose) is that it teaches you great life lessons….it really is survival of the fittest both mentally and physically. Im not talking about screaming in young lads faces but a gradual increase of responsibility and accountability, effort = reward, dealing with adversity, being able to take it on the chin when someone calls you out for not doing your job and reacting in a positive way to achieve better outcomes for yourself, pushing yourself when you think you can’t give any more…….all these things will
  21. I promise, I’m not doing it on purpose mate ! Lol
  22. Good to have him back in the top flight, I have a lot of time for him as a player and his whole story as a player mate.
  23. I completely understand the concept mate, but I don’t feel that the man in the street is benefiting from this “healthy” economy.
  24. Completely understood squire and I used to be a massive advocate and believer in the “trickle down” effect…..I’m still an advocate for it in a properly functioning, fair system. However, I don’t believe that is what we have and we haven’t had it for a good while now……what we have is akin to some kind of council estate money lender type thing going on where the borrower is forced to borrow by the system while the same system then never lets him out of the trap…..doomed to be continually poor relatively speaking and kept in servitude to “them” I remember as a young man, there was a cle
