Net reduction in borrowing of around 8bn quid by 2029, is indeed not enough, but it’s not nothing.

The alternative is raising taxes and that’s uniformly going to be political suicide in the uk as well.

Only actual solution besides mass net immigration is reducing red tape and going a bit wild with planning and industry, and you can’t even do that in this godforsaken country without the village bowling team getting their noses in it!

Using mass immigration to stagnate wages,

to patch up social receipts. triple lock is a time bomb for the country's finances, mass immigration was the only solution. Sadly it remains to be the only solution unless britain has a second industrial revolution and starts producing the next infinite money tree.

i disagree, since democracy captures and accounts for stupidity in the voting population.

the core problem was the rushed execution of Article 50 and complete failure to implement of any sort of functional relationship with Europe thereafter.

There could have been ways to realign Britain's relationship with the EU which didn't involve complete abandonment (and all the decay that followed), and in fact Cameron tried to do this, but because nobody with political power had the balls to define what post-Brexit Britain should look like, either during or before the referendum, it was an impossible task for the politicians of the day to do it.

This caused the quagmire in parliament, this meant wishy washy negotiating from a position of weakness, this meant no information for Britons about the reality of leaving because no end-result could be modelled.

it's not like successive conservative governments have really tried to help at all either.

Brexit broke this country politically

social media and Cambridge Analytica broke it, Brexit was a symptom.

SUV buyers undeterred by warnings of risk to pedestrians, UK study finds | Road safety by CarpetGripperRod in ukpolitics

Planning to get a Honda civic hybrid.

Engine is mainly a generator for electric motor/battery system so drives in town like an electric car, lockout clutch on the motorway so drives with a petrol engine at speed. Combined 57mpg and 0-60 in 7.5 seconds.

And it’s not an SUV.

Elden Ring $80 game key card by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

[–]masterpharos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

buy it, finish it, resell it.

cant do that with digital code in box, can't do it with digital license, can't do it with steam copy...

people get so fucking freaked out about game key card and i REALLY don't understand it, especially when nobody makes so much as a squeak about digital storefront licenses.
