Anyone felt the pinch yet?

Notice a good proportion of my hotels are quiet this week. But with the jubilee round the corner and pride the week after maybe folk are simply saving their trips for that.

Cant help but feel the media are driving a lot of it. They seem hell bent on us heading into a recession. Making people panic and stop spending.

They should be telling everyone its all gravy.

Only area Ive felt it is diesel. £154 to fill my van the other day. That's taking the piss.

The fact you’re more concerned about your Brexit fuck up over the claims you used to be a united fan tells me all I need to know about you. 

It’s a thread about Brexit (they fucking all are)

I turned my back on my family to reject the toilet and follow my team. I could have followed the glory, but instead I went to places like Mansfield and Exeter.

Im very pleased with the outcome.

Truth hurts I suppose.

Truth is, you're an ignorant, contrary individual, with the debating style of an spoiled teenager.

In all the years of your abuse and crap, I've yet to see any shred of being able to put forward a cogent argument. Just the hackneyed name calling, deflection, and ill-informed dross.

I imagine you walking with a limp owing that massive chip weighing heavily on your clavicle.

To be honest, that's a bit rich coming from someone who can never answer a direct question.

You love to throw stuff out there and then retract and try to attack without ever getting to your real point and then blame everyone else that they've missed your point.

Then when you get called on it you make a spurious point of no relevance to what you where originally saying.

Then when that's exhausted we get the #obsessed #weirdo 

It's the biggest pot calling the kettle this.

Pure camaraderie until the final sentence. A kiss on the cheek and a knife to the heart.

Let's be honest GD, the huge profits made by Shell and BP are not due to their strategic planning but down to Russia acting the cunt.

How many times have they reported a loss, well, ever?

To suggest they are in London because of Brexit is also pushing it a bit.

Didn’t they report a loss 2 years ago? From memory.

The Brexit thing; remainers will invariably take a negative view.

The way the anti-business culture is developing in this country may not augur well for future inward investment.

Whereas Brexiters will ignore reality and pretend leaving the EU has had no negative effect on anything whatsover, even though they spent years telling everyone they were willing to accept the negative effects of leaving the EU.

It is just another meaningless soundbite. 
We have had a Tory Government for 13 years and they very much on the side of businesses. 
If anyone thinks the country is anti business they need to make sure we get a change of government as soon as possible 

Inflation busting pay rises

Putins illegal invasion of ukraine

Vaccine rollout

BINGO!

Mr Gates also spoke of his surprise at becoming the face of conspiracy theories during the Covid-19 pandemic.

"I did not expect that," he said, referring to suggestions he profited from the virus, or started it himself.

"During the pandemic, there were tens of millions of messages that I intentionally caused it, or I'm tracking people. It's true I'm involved with vaccines, but I'm involved with vaccines to save lives.

"These messages sort of inverted that. I guess people are looking for the 'boogeyman' behind the curtain, the over-simplistic explanation. Malevolence is a lot easier to understand than biology."

God I hate myself.

I know a bloke, who is still convinced that COVID and 5G are somehow linked - he said he's not see enough evidence to prove that they're not. When challenged, and we ask him to provide any evidence, he comes up with a load of shit he's seen on the internet, and then says that it's actually for people to prove that they're not linked, rather than the other way around. He's a fucking huge loon, who lives his life looking for problems/conspiracies that aren't there.

 

He also, has it on good authority, that the CIA were behind 9/11 as well 🙂

Yeah he’s right. Do your own research is the staple basis of any argument now.

well he's bald. 

He was in the army for years, so I suspect he must have had a few bumps on the head or been subjected to some chemicals when he was in Iraq, hence him now being a fucking simpleton

I don’t know any Brexiteer who didn’t expect there to be some negative impact from leaving an organisation we’d been part of for over 50 years. In fact many including me wanted to go even further and leave on a no deal basis, just cut the ties and deal with the impact without having to explain or cowtow to Brussels. What we’ve got now is just a complete mess and it’s not doing either us or the EU any good. Sadly the EU still can’t bring itself  to see that negotiating in good faith (as per the agreement) with the UK would be beneficial to both sides. Like many Remainers here they can’t get over the fact they lost in the vote and deal with it to make things better.
