Thats the line trotted out on Ian King Live. Fair enough the two combined ain't helping. Inflation won't drop as quickly as people hope as businesses will need to make back money they have lost over last few months . The bigger companies and supermarkets are already starting to make great returns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The government has said that while it does not recognise a figure of £500m in reported subsidies, they concede that it is in the hundreds of millions of pounds.

BobyBrno Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) ‘Although the price tag will be seen as high, the UK is reluctantly involved in an international subsidy war which has been dramatically escalated by the US Inflation Reduction Act - a piece of legislation offering $370bn (£299m) in sweeteners to companies prepared to locate production and supply chains in the US. The EU is preparing its own packe in response’ edit. The billion million mistake is the BBC. I copied and pasted.

Site Supporter Winchester White Posted May 24, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted May 24, 2023 Some positive news at least, hope it comes to fruition. The location is interesting, I would have thought land and wage costs would be quite high there, even if the town itself looked a bit of a shithole when I drove through a few years back.

Not in Crawley Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Scraps off the table. Is this the bold new future that many bought into? It's more tragic that they cling onto things that we'd normally just have. But as we know, they will never, ever admit the futility of this. So, let's just let them burn out and younger folks will build a future regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This mean technically it is the Cabinet office that are the clients and his lawyers have to pass over all material they to their clients Those documents apparently contain diary entries that show good old Boris held parties for friends at Chequers during lockdown. If the cabinet office think these parties broke Covid rules they are obliged to pass them into the Police. Beginning to wind me up now. How come we - the British taxpayers - are footing the bill for Johnson’s lawyers? Are we funding the defence of all dodgy MPs like that Tory kiddie fiddler or just Johnson? If not, why does Johnson - a lowly MP - get special treatment? He’s already blown a quarter of a million of our money and then sacked them off because he didn’t like their attitude and now he’s handpicking lackeys who we’re also expected to pay for. Bad enough having folk hide/redact the incriminating evidence but to have us pay for it? F****** outrageous IMO. DRAIN THE SWAMP…..

I was asking a simple enough question mate I.e. why does the privileged fat fop not have to pay for his own lawyers? Made a personal fortune out of us already so it’s not as if he’s so skint as to qualify for legal aid is it? Hardly recycling as it was only yesterday that he - or rather, we - had to pay off the ones he discarded. As for recycling it’s the Tories who keep polishing the turd instead of flushing him and moving on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sending old folk back to care homes with covid and the PPE scandal where contracts given to Tory cronies are the 2 areas I’d like to see explored in detail… not arsed about whether there were parties etc at Downing Street, get the detail on the aforementioned examined and that’s where any wrong doing will come to light…. I’d like to see charges pressed for any serious misdemeanours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
