12 years of Tory government

The question remains why an Ecuadorean woman who openly supports facist type governments in South America had been elected as a ( Labour ) councillor in Newham in the first place .

No idea ā€¦ but she is no longer a Labour candidate:

A Labour spokesman has told MailOnline that GuaƱa is no longer a candidate endorsed by the party. It is understoodā€™ that she is administratively suspended, pending investigation.

GuaƱa appears on the ballot as a Labour candidate because she submitted her nomination forms to stand in the council election before she was suspended.

Not if Rishi shows them where the secret money press is. :grinning: :icon_wink:

I presume you have heard of quantitative easing which is basically printing money by the BoE.

Since the Johnson era emerged it has been a total disaster.

@Omah Thanks for the articles on government borrowing Omah, it
confirms my own convictions that UK is bankrupt !!
After all, if you earned Ā£100 a month and had to borrow a further Ā£96
every month in order to survive then you would be in deep shyte wouldnā€™t
you ?? This does not take into account the interest that has to be paid !!
UK was on the point of repaying the money we borrowed to bail out banking
sector about 9yrs ago,nwe will never reap the rewards of doing this, as Rishi
has just recommitted us to further heavy borrowing to combat the so
called covid crisis, so, l am afraid we now have another ten years of
austerity in store for us !!
Can you imagine what the country will look like when that is over ??

Not bankrupt, insolvent. The be bankrupt has a particular fiscal meaning that a sovereign nation can not match.

Thereā€™s no voting here today either.

To give Boris Johnson his dueā€¦ during his leadership, he has had a pandemic, a war plus Brexit to cope with.
Not really a walk in the park for him.

@The_Artful_Todger ,Perhaps you can explain the difference Todger ?
To me, it seems to be only in the quantity of debt ?
The more you owe, the less bankrupt you are ??

But seriously he handled Brexit really badly and COVID handling for the most part was a complete disaster right from the start.

In essence to be insolvent means you canā€™t pay your bills, bankruptcy kicks in when someone puts pressure on you through use of legal opportunities to clean you out using a court to give them the right. Thatā€™s a hopelessly simplistic description. Making (creative) use of the laws surrounding limited company legislation and not being greedy bankruptcy can be a wonderful way to make money in the UK.

@The_Artful_Todger , Yeah, l entirely agree Todger
I personally know several ex business owners that emerged from
bankrupcy richer than they were before ??
Strangely a high proportion of them became born again Christians ?
Donkeyman! :thinking::thinking:

LOL! That would be a step too far for ME to ever take!

@The_Artful_Todger , Yeah, corrective surgery ??

Now THAT could be the subject of a REAL theological stand up drag out punch up! Paul really confused matters even though Jesus was himself circumcised because he was of course Jewish.

12 Years of Tory Government, and just think, Corbyn, backed by Starmer, was ever so close to getting in.

What would the recent years have been like under them!

Not having access to an alternative universe I must admit to having no idea. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Given Johnsonā€™s behaviour and the degradation and corruption and division heā€™s inflicted on our country, it could hardly be worse, could it?
