Sadly there was no faux financial crisis it is real, already pension pots have halved people are paying a lot more in mortgages - that’s already happened - not all of it due to Truss and Kwarteng but a substantial amount is due to their budget announcement

The really stupid thing is their policies are not bad they are quite good but only when the financial environment is strong enough- which isn’t now

I do totally agree though that some very dark times are upon us and the cuts coming in benefits and services are going to be torturous for many people

 

[Scrappy]

The UK economy is growing better than the EU and has been out performing most predictions. IMO cutting taxes for ordinary people and small businesses would have given the already growing economy a boost. I believe the reaction to the mini budget was sabotage based on politics and globalist greed for power, not based on economics.

But I'm just an old paranoid pleb, what do I know

 

[Don the Don]

. C'mon at least somebody say something I can disagree with!

Your mate has an axe to grind with Liz truss

Johnny Mercer says Liz Truss laughed as she sacked him as veterans minister

Mr Mercer said in dismissing him, Ms Truss reneged on a promise veterans' affairs would not be downgraded under her Government.

Oh I think there's far more to this than is being admitted with another massive failure in regulation going back to one G Brown Esq. There's mounting murmurs the casino banking of the last crash spread into pension funds who are now sitting on worthless paper and unable to meet imminent liabilities. I don't just blame Brown for changing the rules but Osborne for chickening out of patently necessary reform, every administration since and the Financial Conduct Authority whose head, it has just been announced, is 'leaving early'. There's a show unravelling.

As I see it the current underlying problem comes from two areas, the US Fed putting up interest rates higher than anyone else to beat inflation which the BoE didn’t match which strengthens the dollar and drives up inflation in other markets/Countries, and the eye watering debt we took on for Covid handouts to various dodgy characters- I remember at the time everyone asking how does that debt get paid back? we’re just beginning to see…..

The question where did it start? Johnson, Osbourne, Brown? I think it was each of them getting something badly wrong the cumulative effect being what’s going to be happening soon

I think a Shit show is probably an understatement and once this is all over nothing will be the same again

 

[MartytheMartian]

Hell nothing has 'been the same' for the last three or four years now. It was starting before Covid and Covid just accelerated the pace way up. I'm kinda hoping that Big G will let rip a giant Mushroom cloud soon the world needs a genuine God driven 'Great Reset'.

 

[Old Nick]

Does Suella Bravermans resignation mean she’s now free for the naked mud wrestle with Nadine Dorris and Priti Patel

 

[MartytheMartian]

Why do I get the feeling that we are about to witness the complete collapse of the Conservative party followed by Kier 'the plastic faced twat' Starmer being asked to form a government to bring the UK back into the EU and re-open the borders to all and sundry to help the rich get richer while claiming to be for the poor. Not that the borders were ever really closed in the first place.

The whole thing feels like a great big fix and the one's being stitched up are the people of the United Kingdom.

 

[Old Nick]

And her Chief Whip appears to have resigned by abstaining on the fracking vote

I think your calling it right Marty, we are witnessing the destruction of the Tory party….

And petrols gone back up I see probably due to the weak pound

 

[MartytheMartian]

We can now look forward to having a Labour Party in power that the public didn't vote for and who the public, given the chance probably still wouldn't vote for. The people who are going to love this of course are the Just Stop Oil mob, Vegans, Europhiles and Marxists, the Media and the Liberal elite who have orchestrated all of this from the start. We are fecked!

 

[Scrappy]

If Labour get in power then we can also look forward to Chinese style lockdowns, Australian style police brutality, Russian/Venezuelan style elections, as well as digital trackable money, financial cancelling and a stay in a re-education camp if you don't have the correct thinking, plus of course we will own nothing and be happy

Edit: But Jeremy Hunt & co. would probably introduce much of the same if they had their way

 

[Tallpaul]

For the first time in my life, I feel that I may get involved in civil unrest.

 

[Don the Don]

Fook them all bar one, and bollocks to him.....what has this nation become, this is just more ammo for the likes of sturgeon who will get support on the back of this and maybe get her wish for indy ref 2, and I see an England that one day the white will be a minority and muslim the chosen faith, people will be watching The great british curry off and strictly come Bangra, they will have at the helm RAJ Kahn as defender of the faith and royal and all women will need to cover up and walk three paces behind,........prey it is not so.

[MartytheMartian]

Well I see that it's now being reported that Liz Truss has resigned. Another step in their plan has been achieved.

 

[Old Nick]

She’s gone

Which perhaps counterintuitively has gone someways to restore a minor amount of faith in our system - we can actually get rid of a fuckwit in short order

I hoped that you were joking Marty.
Unfortunately, it's true!
What an utter balls up! Who will we get now?

BBC News - Liz Truss resigns as prime minister after Tory revolt

Liz Truss resigns: PM's exit kicks off another Tory leadership race

The prime minister quits after a Tory revolt, triggering a week-long contest to elect a successor.

[MartytheMartian]

Well I predict that we will possibly get Hunt being installed as PM but even he won't last. The Conservative management want out of government so they can't get the blame for what they really want to happen now. I see that the European press are also blaming 'Brexit' for the whole thing so it's only a matter of time now before Keir Starmer is asked to form a new government, unelected, and start the operation to take us back into Europe, with penalties, of course. Truss was never going to be allowed to appear even halfway competent from the very start of her selection. She wasn't who the 'management' of the party wanted and so her fate was sealed before she even took the job. This is not democracy this is a certain group of people manipulating everything to what best suits them not the country.
