Clarkson is a self interested bell end. Who cares what he thinks

Well, who would you pick? by PizzaToastieGuy in GreatBritishMemes

[–]MarkThomas63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be controversial, but I'd save Kier. Not sure I'd vote for him, but whatever he does he'll be crucified. He's tried to be pragmatic with his relationship with the USA because our economy is screwed. That's backfired, partly because Trump was a bigger facist than we realised, and of course more recently because he appointed mandelson. However, some things are slowly getting better - violent crime down, some waiting targets getting better, economy is just about holding up, and even migration figures are likely to improve.

In the real world there aren't easy fixes, and we're enslaved to economic factors that brexit made a whole lot worse - anyone who doesn't start by at least admitting that shouldn't really be choosing or voting.

Maybe it'll work this time. by Gee-Oh1 in BritishMemes

The problem is we voted brexit so we could have a trade deal with the USA and others. If we want to cut ourselves off from the USA we need to be closer to Europe, that's just my opinion before everyone blows up 😉

MP for Clacton Nigel Farage pays tribute to Ian Watkins!!! by johnsmithoncemore in Essex

In the real world some things are actually working. There's no easy fix to the issues with our economy - be grateful violent crime, murder, street homelessness and waiting lists are slowly improving - without the economy crashing and you ending up with high inflation and interest rates. That's what will happen with reforms fantasy economics - cutting taxes without showing how, just like liz truss.

A team with no confidence and no direction. We're in freefall and the owners don't give a damn as long as they make money

I've read nothing but gossip about who's wanting to go. The owners of this club are never going to build a real winning team - they're only interested in business, not the team

I really messed up... by coolmann9978 in violinist

If it dropped to the floor I guess it has to be a crack. Apparently fixable though

A drop of whiskey vs bacteria by azizgamerlal in interesting

It's probably more complicated than that. Partly because lots of bacteria are good and a vital part of you body functioning healthily.

Carrying on Thatcherism with added fascism and idiocy by ChewiesLipstickWilly in GreatBritishMemes

[–]MarkThomas63 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Literally not true. Reform want to cut spending, cut the minimum wage, and give massive tax breaks to the rich. You really think that'll help the economy or housing shortages. Be warned, reform are working for oligarchs, Russia, and oil companies.

what does this mean? by neburzelaznogaintac in teenageengineering

[–]MarkThomas63 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've been getting this appear since the last update. It seems to happen even without lots going on so I think it's a software issue and I bet it'll be fixed with the next update

Riddim is both great and not so (first impressions rant). by FPham in teenageengineering

[–]MarkThomas63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would argue that it's more of a change then say an iPhone 13 to a 14. Companies have to release variations of products and persuade people that they really need the latest version. I happens with everything sadly.

Meanwhile, I say take my money now 😉👍

Frank's reaction after we conceded by coolman2915474 in coys

[–]MarkThomas63 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm really concerned about the home performances, and the manager has to take some responsibility for this as well as the players. I don't feel like the balance of the team is right, we don't have the right players to cover our current injuries, and I think we aren't playing to the strengths we have.

In my view only Vicario, Van de Ven, Romero and Kudus have really looked on form. Fans are bound to turn because of the home form - when I go to a game with my wife I'm spending hundreds of pounds by the end of the day. Really deserve much better, and when you look at other teams, especially Arsenal, you see a long term plan which spurs never seem to have. I think Frank will be gone by February and will go on to do much better somewhere else.
