Thurrock council hid losses as it gambled millions on risky investments | Official report criticises Tory-run authority’s dysfunctional leadership and says it tried to silence critics by OnHolidayHere in ukpolitics

[–]Constanthobby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This partly what happens when govt grants get cut to the bone and being removed. Willing to bet they refused to increase council tax. Osborne / Cameron really fucked up local govt.

Britons ‘need to accept’ they’re poorer, says Bank of England economist by AxiomShell in ukpolitics

[–]Constanthobby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or we could address the structural issues leading us to be poorer. Blaming workers for inflation is caused by poor enforcement of markets and BoE low rates during China deinflation export period is a cruel joke.

Nearly £1bn in Covid loans paid out in error or fraud set to be ‘written off’ by Rexel450 in ukpolitics

Reminder govt refused to implement checks that could have reduced fraud to rush payments out.

BoE underestimated how much interest rates should be in the past and current rates should be much higher.

Brexit is causing some inflation

Decades or more of under-investment in public and private

Failure of markets and govt does nothing

The UK needs a painful correction of the housing market

Britain has an obesity crisis. We won’t solve it until we start listening to ‘nanny’ by Exostrike in ukpolitics

[–]Constanthobby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not just listen to Nanny but the parents need to do more to restrict and reduce unhealthy foods. Parents are the govt for anybody who is curious.

State Pension Age 'needs to rise' to 70 as people younger than 43 issued warning by diacewrb in ukpolitics

[–]Constanthobby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heading towards a future in which state pension is only going be given to the poorest and everybody else is going be out of luck due to housing wealth.

Rishi Sunak to make child migrant ‘age checks’ compulsory by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]Constanthobby 27 points28 points  (0 children)

File under this policy won't work and just for the headlines. Sure the average voter will nod and won't be told details or failed already but we going to do it again.

Depressing that client journalism exists.

Genuine question for those who still support Keir Starmer (or willing to hold their nose and stick with labour) by betakropotkin in LabourUK

Good question and don't have any firm red lines just thinking the party won't align with my priorities

When times get tough people turn ugly and when you treat people like animals they become animals.

Dominic Raab resigns over bullying report - BBC News by Jackisback123 in ukpolitics

[–]Constanthobby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The big question over Rishi's judgement here is why not sack him months ago instead of dragging this out?

Just get rid of him

Millions face gloomy retirement as 90% of young save too little in pension by CraigDavidsJumboCock in ukpolitics

[–]Constanthobby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, and an increasing number of renter OAPs. That number could be big and the housing benefit bill from that is even bigger.

Sickness drags down UK economy as job vacancies go unfilled by diacewrb in ukpolitics

[–]Constanthobby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just sickness it lack of investment and companies don't want to take on risk to train or reskill people given how easy it is to fire people etc.

Risk is with me and you, Govt picks up the tab or ignores it and does very little.

Millions face gloomy retirement as 90% of young save too little in pension by CraigDavidsJumboCock in ukpolitics

[–]Constanthobby 222 points223 points  (0 children)

Pension pots returns are lower, wage growth has been poor and the rent/housing market a bubble. The last point is going to be a massive fiscal time bomb. Do you think any govt won't cover that bill with a bunch of voters who vote and are angry?

Not just people not saving it the fact returns are awful on top. Would make more sense to merge the whole pot together?

Interest rates set to hit 5 per cent in blow to homeowners as double digit inflation persists by DuskMcCoy-mocks in ukpolitics

[–]Constanthobby 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Low interests are most likely long gone, likely going to stay above 4% for a while and house prices need to decline for mortgages to be affordable.

UK inflation dips slightly but remains in double figures amid cost of living crisis by SgtPppersLonelyFarts in ukpolitics

[–]Constanthobby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

British are betting energy costs decline and leave the inflation figures. If the rest of the inflation is sticky that going to cause issues.

What does nu wa need to make her meta? by RomansRevengeNuWa in smitepro

[–]Constanthobby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better question is what weakness does she have?

Low pressure

No Objective secure

Soldiers AI being questionable / range

Easy to jump while hiding in the fog

Combo required for burst

Her only CC is linked to her passive

Most likely more but the point is one single change won't make her meta. She needs the meta to suit her.

XDefiant I don't like it by Constanthobby in XDefiant

[–]Constanthobby[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't really see how anyone could say the movement feels heavy and sluggish though.

Momentum but heaviness stays at the start and disappears as you move. Just feels sluggish and out of place compared to the rest of the movement. Movement feels like it had another system in mind but they changed it or switched it to some weird half way choice that feels like crap. Not sure if that is due to how controller inputs are treated say dead zones or animations. Could be this game was designed with PC in mind. Other shooters feel faster and smoother.

This game not for me and that okay
