It will also be interesting to see how many voices are still calling out for all the "there should be this...there should be that..." services to be put in place, whether it increased benefits, increased pay for for care workers, etc when the actual costs of all of this "should be..." are revealed. If in the next election a party says 10% increase in income tax for everyone to pay for all these things that you want, how many will put their X in the box?

NatureBoy Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 I'll be actively looking for a new girlfriend the other side of this, without to much baggage that can put up with/share my strange rural ways! Recently single (again) and being home alone for the foreseeable future no fun.😉. . . . Plus side is, i haven't got no one else to worry about or provide for! Cooking for one is carp tho and the bed is to big and cold. NB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It costs next to nothing to have a little spare food in the house. we had a power cut here for a few hour a few weeks ago I ended up supplying half the street with candles, torches and hot water for a cup of tea. We now had a glimpse of what can happen with globalisation, yes you can get what you need from anywhere around the world right up to the point the country selling it need it as well! That is not to say we should shut our selves off That`s the big issue,we need to get away from globalisation asap.I know we have to rely on other countries for much of our needs but we have to stop exploiting other peoples workers to achieve cheaper products for ourselves.....

That would be good, but everyone is too used to clicking the mouse and what they want arriving, far too dependent on things being made abroad these days.

12gauge82 Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 I'd love one of the rabid remainers to explain to me at this point how globalization has been a great thing for the nation. I seriously hope this wakes a few people up to the faults with the way this and most of the western world is now run, it rewards the greedy corporations at the expense of the working masses.

Apart from the must have staple "The Fray Bentos stake and kidney pie". I like cooking. Bit of a prepper like a lot of rural folk. Turned the 40 odd pigeons i shot last weekend in to mince. Most versatile easy thing in the coming weeks. Freezers full of wild food/game and have always loved the barter system when i comes to food and drink. Surprising what a few pigeons pheasant and an odd rabbit can get ya. Ant been shopping for over 2 weeks. Tho out of fruit and getting low on veg cereal and the dreaded TP. . . . Electric blankets are dangerous! . .So are many of the women i have had! But that's how i like em!😉 NB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some would willingly pay more taxes Mel and some say they would until they realise what it means they can no longer do or buy. It's just basic human nature. You are right however, more taxes wouldn't necessarily mean more of things that we think important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
