Maybe you need to read back a page or two. The discussion was about Burkas, and someone else introduced Jews.

Well, if you say it like that you playground bully, ,maybe you need to read back roughly 3722 pages when I started this thread which had absolutely nothing to do with Burkas or Jewish head scarfs

I'm not one for visiting graves, but thanks for the invite. Would be happy to buy you a pint if I'm in the area though. 👍

I never met him unfortunately. Only knew of him through my mum, who was best mates with his mum. Will bear it in mind.

Yes, I remember our private chat re your mum and his mum. Will be down on the 18th or 19th as I'm away after that. Is that decent chippy across the road from the church still open, enjoyed them on our last visit

Haven't been round there for a few years. In fact, the last time I was there was when I dropped my mum off to go to Paul's mums funeral when Covid was still a thing. The Cross Chippy is still open according to google, if that's the one you're talking about?

That sounds like the one, we all parked on the car park across from the church and the chippy was close to the memorial 👍

Everyone has an opinion I guess. 
Is that a tea towel round her neck? It’s all very confusing.

It was an anti austerity march in London. Are we now in an austerity cycle. Again.?

Some think so. Having seen our debt more than double over the last 17 years means we have far less to spend on what we need to.

What do you think?

Diane Abbott is a complete fucking thruster.

When you have a majority in the hundreds, it’s inevitable that some are going to be a right sack of shit.

As for the debt, well that’s been building for almost 2 decades.

Well yes. Graph coming.👍

When interest rates were low, the debt was manageable. Covid and the war in  Ukraine changed things as can be seen on the graph. Ms. Reeves problem is too much borrowing at high interest rates (see guilt yields) it’s unsustainable for the plans she has. Something will have to give. Either public spending cuts or tax rises. 
Both politically sensitive.

That's a scary graph! Something needs to give one way or another.....

Unless we suddenly find some terribly scarce resource knocking around!
