Everybody knows I am a proud Marxist/ Leninist who spends his time scratching luxury cars and selling The Socialist Worker. Come the revolution my friend, my brothers will be visiting your heavily fortified White Power super ranch. I am sending a crack troop of mixed race Muslims and vicious mulattos to bring an end to your white settler dominance over the poor downtrodden tatty munchers. The final blow will be delivered by a jet black, frothing at the mouth Zulu. The last thing you will see on this earth will be his enormous ,dangling genitalia as he stands over you with his machete.

And I've lost about 6 grand due to plummeting financial markets affecting my stocks and shares ISAS. It's all very well children being blown to bits and the obliteration of the men in beards . It's all very well being worried about a recession leading to a full blown economic depression. It's all very well commentating on Trump letting the cat out of the bag saying he 'wants their oil'. But what about a baldy old coffin dodger like me being inconvenienced and made poorer by this war? Strewth, the inconsiderateness and the Me, Me, Me , mentality of some people beggars belief. One of those silly cows in Government, I don't know their names apart from the dick in charge of them, making changes to cash ISAs that nobody asked for. The best thing for normal working people to save a little and keep it safe with a guaranteed small growth. Reducing the annual limit to try and force people to open stocks and share ISA's. That was clever. Democracy? Socialism? More like having a jack boot on your neck. I get that your post was a bit tongue in cheek but true none the less. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some I would tie up for 3 or even 5 years and get more than 6%. I was happy with that. But since the financial crash cash ISAs barely keep pace with inflation. I prefer stocks and shares ISAs now tbh. Yes they go down in the short term, but the history of the stock market shows they always go up in the long term. I also have low risk ISAs.

eastcoast 4,892 Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 The long term? That term has passed for some of us Steady domino's, after years of working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week (8 hours on weekends), been brought up with the advice of "take it when it's there". No complaints but too old and lazy to gamble. 4 days a week now , no room for error. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lenmcharristar 10,755 Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 Lads the fact we pay tax all our lives on our wages, say you buy a house and then sell it and it takes a year or 2 to get a new place sorted and your money in the bank gets interest gained on it, is it right you have to pay tax on that interest? I mean they have took the tax the whole of your working life paying your mortgage, the biggest mafia in the world right now is the left wing globalists that have hi jacked the western nations, we pay around 75% of our money on taxes that they spunk up the walls, they should be held accountable for waste of our hard earned and resources 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 18,158 Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 Reflecting on the war so far, it feels like this was a gift for Starmer and the Labour Party just when all hope seemed gone. I don’t think the UK has done well in all this but that is due to decades of military decline, but given the cards he was dealt it feels like how he's played this has boosted his standing with the public. And he’ll probably get away with playing his part in furthering the decline. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Always interesting to read two views of a thing, especially when you value a lads input…..I think he has come out looking even more of a gutless, traitorous, prick than he already did if that was at all possible ! But, then again, I’m not over there having these day to day conversations like you mate, and it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest given how little I value the judgment of the vast majority of the British public. Giving any POTUS a f**k you, especially this one, is signing your own death warrant if you are a member of NATO and rely on NATO to protect you….because NATO is dads army without the United States. jmho 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 10,509 Posted April 1 Author Report Share Posted April 1 (edited) NATO's role is defensive. An agreement that if a member country is ATTACKED other member states will comes to its aid. Starmer has done what every other country has done and declined to enter a war of Israel's making. Trump claims to have ended 7 or 8 wars. The number varies according to his short term memory , but he can't end this one without looking weak and incompetent. The UK's spending on defence is second only to that of the USA. It will be going up year by year. Starmer has kept us out of the war and not one British serviceman has died because of that decision. I'm not a fan of Starmer but he's acted correctly here. We never want to be involved again in an American phoney war. We have lost too many British lives for no gain. I am surprised at this clamour for British involvement in an Israeli/ American war. Its not our fight. Let's learn the lessons of the past and keep well out of it. Edited April 1 by jukel123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am surprised at this clamour for British involvement in an Israeli/ American war. Its not our fight. Let's learn the lessons of the past and keep well out of it. I think the falling out between Trump and Starmer stems entirely from Starmers refusal to let US planes fly from UK bases. If Starmer had said, “They are joint bases, of course you can fly YOUR planes from them, but we will NOT be joining in and our planes won’t be flying”, I doubt anyone would have batted an eyelid ! It was obvious that Americas use of the bases would eventually be granted and Starmer saying it’s for DEFENSIVE purposes , not OFFENSIVE, doesn’t resonate with most people, especially the Trump Administration I think it’s a situation that could easily have been avoided, but that’s just my opinion as an interested observer Gheers.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
