Imho mate, if you are sitting on vast reserves of oil and gas in a world that absolutely relies on oil and gas then it don’t matter, they ain’t running out of money and they ain’t running out of resources any time soon…..they will never live to see it end so they don’t give a toss. I watched a documentary once about Elton John (bare with me ! Lol) and the interviewer said “What if it all ended tomorrow and you were skint again?” And his reply rather fits this situation, what he said was “It’s a stupid question, I’m made, I’m too big, it’s simply never going to end” Same for Russia an

The historical strength of Russia is that when things get bad, it can retreat into itself……I don’t think many people understand just how vast Russia is, it can easily support itself. In the 2nd world war when Germany threatened its manufacturing base, it just put all the factories on a train and moved them back behind the urals !……no other country in the world could do that. Turning off the gas means absolutely f**k all to Russia…..they have been burning off like $8 million dollars worth a day while all this has been going on ! Couldn’t give a shit ! Lol

Well, I think he should have won X Factor and I’m gutted to hear that doing the club circuit didn’t work out for him so he is now fighting in UKraine

Not really a fan of that, you don’t hurt small people…..least I never have. Some big insurance company or bank in the city who are doing 5 large on lunch, yep, stick it to them no problem at all but small people, nah, not for me mate. Its a short term game anyway, you only get to do it once or twice….people ain’t stupid, they soon get an idea when they are being f****d. If she has contacts in the horse world Id be doing her a decent job at the right money, people will always tell a couple of more people about you and you keep earning but f**k someone and they will tell every c**

32 big horses like that will be costing a cold fortune to keep and feed, I bet that woman is only making a wage and it’s probably less than you mate, a lot less.

Just don’t sell your houses to them, I didn’t…..told the estate agent not to send any round because I would just tell them to go away. He looked a bit shocked and he did send one round but I just said “No, go away” Spade sat outside for an hour and a half while I got bombarded with calls from the agent telling me he was a cash buyer and all that old bollocks, I just said “Look, I told you not to send any round” and eventually the African and the agent got the message.

I’m English, round here, I am the nigger ! Lol

You’d have it if you didn’t have to shovel 2 large to the council every year though wouldn’t you. Plus, every f****r sues everyone else here so insurance and liability on your small holding is a must.

@NEWKID see what your new found veganism has started !

Financially yes mate…..those numbers have been done and that case is proven. For stuff you use like the leisure centre, national trust property’s, Astro turf, state of the art school buildings, road tax, MOT for the car……no, not at all…..that’s all shit, non existent or expensive and complicated. There’s loads you’d love (taking out the obvious goal) but there’s loads you would detest as well mate. For an example, it costs €200 plus a shit load of f***ing about to clear and register my van here, same job in the uk ? £50 Van MOT class 7, €120 here…..£57 in the UK
-
I take my own bins down the tip in my van, costs between €5 and €7 a week based on weight. If you separate and recycle everything you can put as much as you like in a council waste station for €3:50
-
The fire gets paid by house insurance mate, if you need them you claim, ambulance by medical and the bins by yourself…..it’s better, you only weigh in for what you use. Health care is means tested so if you are below a certain income it’s free. I have to say it’s much better than shovelling £1600 or £1800 a year for services you don’t get or don’t use.
-
I understand the past perfectly thank you, where do you want to start ? 1642 or prior to that ? As I said, that shit has been done to death. If this is the way it will go then there’s f**k all worth talking about.
-
We are having a decent conversation, the only time it’s gos boss eyed is when people trot out what you have typed there. Nobody here is talking about all that shit, we are having a genuine chat about how it could or may or may not work
-
Now that’s a decent post mate, I was thinking much the same earlier thinking about this conversation. Theres a lot both could learn and adopt from each other and I totally agree, the north would be the powerhouse of a United ireland…..it would show how to get things done.
-
You can see how it could be a big problem though mate can’t you ? I think stuff many would find attractive is that they still have married couple tax relief, mortgage tax relief and all sorts of other things that got done away with years ago in the uk. Yes you have to have medical insurance but that is means tested so there is free healthcare if you earn under a certain amount, but medical costs are tax deductible as well and so are prescriptions. The great thing is no council tax to speak of, well, mine is €90 a year but you have to pay for fire brigade out of home insuran

The most painful thing about those two is listening to them !

More like the bogs on Wandsworth Common ! Lol

Was just listening to someone on the news talk radio, apparently the economic argument don’t stand up. People would be better off in the republic financially and there is t as much poverty in the republic as the uk which would bare out what I have seen too. The financial question mark is “could the republic afford it?”……but your ordinary person would be better off. Thats all stuff I didn’t know. It really will come down to hearts and minds mate I reckon.

Despite how shocked I was to see all the empty shops in Belfast and it looking a little sorry for itself in the city centre (which is the same story of lots of British high streets) it has about as much in common with Dublin as I do Diane Abbott !
-
It’s Christian conservative from what I can see, “far right” is just the same boring old scare words when someone who threatens this f***ing abortion of a political system comes along.
-
I disagree, it’s win/win….she can say it and if the EU block her then she can paint them as the bad guy and it’s wonderful PR for people who want to see nation states back.
-
As I know I don’t need to tell you, the less you tax anybody the more incentive there is for them to do well. I have never agreed with penalising success.
-
I agree mate, memories are short and most can only think in terms of a two party system. I suppose it’s all numbers?….I don’t know what percentage of the population earn over £150 grand but if it’s minuscule compared to people under that figure then the tax give back was for the many and not the few. Maybe the gaff can afford to knock 5% off those higher earners because their ain’t many of them but can’t afford to knock the same off for those under 150 because they are just too many people and the loss is too massive ?
