This again proves my point, it's so myopic as to be amusing. It's no wonder our Julie found you so easy to convince.

 

The OBR revised its borrowing estimates for the next 5 years after the last budget. They increased it by £200 billion. Stability.

You are seriously obsessed. 

Seriously concerned. So should you be.

Thanks. I take a pragmatic view and this is going to take time. No chancellor is popular especially one dealing with a £22m black hole and every public service damaged after 14 years of the Tories.

There was no £22 billion black hole. What is true is that due to higher gilt yields as a result of the budget, extra interest payments are higher than £22 billion. Her own, self made, black hole. Stability.

You should be enjoying your retirement, not obsessing about what the Labour government have/haven't done.

I know, no point. An old fool is the worst fool of all as the quote goes. Stubbornness dressed as experience.

Not sure what you call obsessing but discussing politics on a politics thread isn’t what I would call it. Bit over your head all this?

Nope. 

Do you not think you come across as being obsessed?

Apart from Kent, no one has challenged any of my points apart from the usual personal digs. Maybe I’m right?😉

Probably more like most take little notice anymore. The frequency lessens the impact.

Sometimes less is more.

Two polls there, part of a thread. Yes that is correct. Awkward for who? 

So the people polled wanted reduced overseas aid, and are still unhappy when overseas aid was reduced?

Maybe they’d like some cake as well.

It’s some serious stuff he is taking. No black hole, no genocide taking place by Israel, the EU are bad, Trump is good, Reform is the answer.

Maybe they haven't thought it through properly, and you've noticed a potential life-destroying scenario. I'd send them an email if I were you.

Love you pal 😄
