This is why your posts should simply be disregarded. I made no reference at all to any specific post you made. Perhaps its your reading comprehension.Quote:

Asking who will replace her is jumping the gun. Truss has been in office less than a month. Much as people would like her to leave, the wheels of government move slowly. She's been given a chance of a U turn, although I'm not sure she is smart enough to take it.
There's always a chance this will kill off the far right of the Tory party. A pity it didn't happen much sooner.
Fuck me that's a bit steep for your weekly shop.

Maybe that U-turn isn't so unlikely....Quote:

She’s already effectively done a u-turn on fracking by saying now that it will only happen in areas where residents want it.
Oh, and she says the tax cuts for the rich was all kamikwasi’s idea.
What a joke. :D
The papers are all hammering her today.
^^ I thought she still had a 3-line whip imposed on the tax cut vote. She would need to remove that or risk losing a few MPs.
^ Blaming it all on Kwarteng was outrageous. Just another clueless opportunist.
He or she? :smileylaughing:Quote:

It's been a long time since Britannia ruled anything, let alone the waves.
^ Well, at least the UK didn't have most of its eggs in one basket. Germany is not out of the woods yet after relying on Russia for over half of its energy needs.
Scrapping the top rate only made up around £2bn of the £45bn worth of tax cuts in the mini budget. I don't think the response from markets is going to change.Quote:

A Labour government would see £ back to $1.35 and 50 baht.
Until then, it will be another lost two years of recession, conflict and Brexitory fuckwittery.
