Site Supporter Spider Posted September 7, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted September 7, 2022 I sleep in the nip. Not always ideal like the other night when I was chasing a massive spider across the landing that had woken my daughter up. anyway. Start stocking up on candles, gas lamps and camping stoves people. When the big banks are preparing for blackouts, you know this is no longer a drill…. https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/europes-banks-dim-lights-they-brace-winter-blackout-2022-09-07/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breightmet Boy Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 All that flapping on social media and Liz comes up with £100 billion help towards our bills. How does that work, have they cut milk from primary schools to compensate it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that work, have they cut milk from primary schools to compensate it ? Only after the election. In the first instance they borrow more money on the international bond markets, causing govt borrowing to increase and the pound to weaken further against the US Dollar, which encourages domestic inflation since the dollar is the international reserve currency. Or they could just introduce a windfall tax on the gas/oil producers, preferably retrospectivley, but they won't because they are Tories. They will tell you it's to protect your pension, but if your portfolio is sufficiently (globally) diversified, BP, Shell and Centrica will make such a small part of it that it won't make fcuk all difference to your retirement compared to forking out £5K pa on gas and leccy in the here and now.

The pound falling off a cliff, as it is at the minute (currently trading at £1/$1.149) is a massive concern - as RoadRunnerFan says, it'll just massively increase inflation. Looking at the currency markets this morning, you can see they've already factored in what Truss will announce later, and they don't seem to like it. This first policy/action, could be the undoing of her. I can't for a minute understand why she isn't going for a windfall tax. The more I think about it, the more I think that some people are in for a very, very tough time this winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're supposedly on a big family trip to Florida next June, but I've told them it's going on hold because I'm a miserable cunt of a fun vacuum of my fears about the costings.
