The richest countries are based on capitalism and the poorest socialism. Perhaps I should have clarified terrible with money or numbers in the context of money. I am not suggesting that committed lefties can never pass a maths A level. Rachel from accounts, lol 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not suggesting that committed lefties can never pass a maths A level. I am dismayed that aspersions are being cast on Labour's mathematical expertise. Diane Abbott came up with ground breaking maths which paved the way for Rachel (I fiddled my CV) Reeves. Both utterly clueless, but for different reasons. Labour do have a problem with those people wanting to run a profitable business. They would be happier if we were all equally poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you feel that intelligence services in the UK, Germany, France and the US are mistaken than you need to get to Aldi (thicker grade then lidl). I dont think theyre mistaken at all, I just think they are just plain lying, probably to cover up something they have done, or just classic misdirection. 19 hours ago, oowee said: Nerve agent in UK, cyber attacks, arson, plane bombings, internet cable destruction, assassinations, election interference. I could pick apart all of this, but if you really want to believe this amounts to Russian attacks on the west, then have at it, nothing will change your way of thinking. The election interference one is interesting though, its like whenever a result is not beneficial to the US/NATO or the EU, then its Russian interference Forget about maybe the people have had enough of a leader or party, and vote a bit wild for an alternative (like we just did with labour ) its not democracy at work, its the Russians ! And cyber attacks, really ? Do you not think we do it back to them in spades ? Anyway its getting interesting in Syria, the Russians are still in their coastal bases with HTS protection, Israel is bombing any heavy weapons or ammo dumps it can find whoever they belong to (except the Russians) The Kurds are already being attacked by various militias, and Israel and Turkey are doing a bit of land grabbing while everyones backs turned. My money is on the HTS rebels, funded by Turkey and the US, who having done the heavy lifting to remove assad, are about to get stabbed in the back and largely un-alived, this will leave a power vacuum just long enough for the US, Israel and Turkey to move in and secure the oil, whilst freeing the world from Islamic terrorists (and Kurds) with a handy little parking bay next to Iran.... Get ready to welcome more dinghies full of ex terrorists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old man Posted December 28, 2024 Report Share Posted December 28, 2024 Our types of politicians always try to be seen on the world stage as progressive leaders in democracy, which is easy to try to suggest when spaffing out some one else's money? The reality is that they are exposed as the stupid ones they really are? Fooling no-one other than them selves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
