Political Discussions And Ranting Thread
Charlotte's Controller replied to Deathray's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
One of the main issues is that there needs to be a degree of capital retention to give a solid bade for investment. When firms are owned and managed by private equity vehicles the assets are just rinsed for profit distribution. This is the case with a lot of the energy companies who have just been margin sellers, no purchase hedging profit taking and then when the crunch comes little in the way of assets is present for support. The revised mini budget restores some certainty and wipes out a lot of the freebies.As a calming exercise it seems to have worked, we now need some sensible policies with properly managed projects not jobs for the boys with major bail outs. -

To be fair that was how they got their jobs in the first place. -
I think that there is a Tory plan to boost income and retirement income as much as possible by promoting and dismissing as many people as possible. Promotion to the House of Lords where they can do nothing and pick up expenses is not possible for all of them.

So the monarchy makes a political comment. Perhaps in these times an unrestrained comment free from media bias HRH has a voice that needs to be heard. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/oct/13/king-charles-greets-liz-truss-dear-oh-dear-uk-prime-minister-weekly-audience Liz Truss out of her depth in a paddling pool. -

This probably more appropriate for Liz Truss, warning contains other puppets with strings. Given the 1922 committee comments probably more appropriate. -

So Truss true to her name supporting the roof of our society, unfortunately no consideration for the foundations of the country without which it might just be an over engineered tent. I am still waiting on anything that this new Tory cabinet has done apart from borrowed to defer energy costs. Immigration - hot air so far. Brexit - disaster. Growth - can’t personally see any benefits, insolvencies seem to be rising. Thinking of replacing The Peter principle Cabinet with the Truss Lemma a proof that a government can’t survive without support. She might survive but needs to tone down and listen, some definite policy revamps are required. -
Well bobble head Barbie has proved a point. She needs to pass her thoughts by a functioning politician before opening her mouth in public. She should never meet with other professional foreign politicians. Policies need to be reviewed and costed before implementation. Market considerations need to be considered. PPE is no longer a good qualification for a politician. I think the M stands for misguided or manipulated.

Additional features to be added, note the comments. She swims ( actually drowns) She leads (actually does what she is told a bit like a petulant child) She listens (see above, actually not a new feature but not seen in action before) Soon to be adapted for Supermarionation, (sorry already happened) Liz Truss, Rees Smog and Cons. -

Rumour has it that there will be a talking bobble head Barbie based on the PM. To be marketed as a reminder of what we had in the last days of the Conservative government the as yet unconfirmed phrases may include. I will deliver. We will cut taxes. I don’t have the detail on that at the moment. The chancellor is responsible for the budget. The Bank of England is responsible for interest rates. It’s Putin’s fault. Finally a long silent pause. Whilst the last one might indicate a lack of functionality it is backed up by the vacant looking expression which is said to speak volumes. -

Those are mere twitter speech bubbles, I am stating proper full blown f**k up, no issue with being pissed or telling the difference between cider or beer but being absent for a week with no correspondence is surely a HR matter for gross misconduct. Boris was a liar, Truss a liability, has anyone checked the light fittings at Downing Street in case anything is hanging there that shouldn’t be. -

Boris will surely lose his title of worst prime minister in history. Where is Liz Truss? On holiday? Rishi’s comments on her financial plans have aged well. I remain of the opinion that the general public are inherently stupid and can only cope with a few concepts. Do you want more cash, yes, do you care about the consequences, no I’ve got more cash. -
The issue is it is not being replenished, as Rishi said there will be inflation, and there is no promise of growth’, she does not have the experience and is clueless. It may be a short journey before realisation that the proverbial shit has hit the fan. Her Peter Principal cabinet is leading the way, clueless Smog and Kwarteng on some happy juice are not the professional government that is required.

She reminds me of one of the original lottery winners, Spend Spend Spend, clueless of the consequences and no responsibility. Unfortunately she has the stature of a puppet and acts like one, no memory no plans pulled by other peoples strings. Destined to lose the election recycling the old note “All of the money has gone”

Time for a call to the boardroom. After some legal consideration you are all fired!

Went with the majority, Liz Truss, sorry Angela Lansbury. Truss is killing the economy rather than herself.
-
We await to see what other things that she will get done. She says that is her tagline, I am considering of making a list so that she has a positive list of achievements to quote when she is no longer PM. Like Boris with Brexit, the Vaccine and Ukraine support. Perhaps this is why Patel and Dorries have resigned because their contributions have not been positive and they do not wish to be judged. I hope that her political stature improves so that she does not become an embarrassment on the international stage.

Perhaps he is just present, and given his title once he had all of the entries would be able to pick the appropriate eighth death. Time alone could tell.

Let us hope the Queen has no probing questions for Liz Truss. Not good to be absent for a meeting or to be tarred with the same brush as her predecessor. The queen will be looking for some answers to her increasing power costs. Responses like I don’t have the detail for that, my (Peter Priciple) cabinet has it under control and we are restoring standards will not cut the mustard.

i don’t read that garbage, I currently read the New York Times but the truth is that many normal people are affected by the lack of support and leadership from the current Peter Principle Government. Currently considering putting a futon in the kitchen for the winter. I -
Cost of living crisis
Charlotte's Controller replied to Paul Bearer's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
So I now know what the government means by levelling up. Inflation, fuel poverty rising interest rates. Everyone is f**ked. I have had to buy a microwave and turn off my Aga. My wife’s cat Susie has objected -
All of the Peter Principle Cabinet have a reputation of doing nothing until they have to at which point it will need a public enquiry before anything happens. Current policy is lead by radical think tanks who have specific objectives not necessarily for the benefit of the country.

As with all good ideas the best come late to the party. Keep the price cap at the current level, Tory idea, the major players will suffer a bit the minor underfunded ones who have lacked proper funding taken profits offshore, been funded by venture capitalists, worked purely on a margin basis will fall by the wayside. Water companies fined and taxed, dividend distribution should be banned in the sector until issues sorted and value obtained. Transport Shapps tied to a railway line to resume services. Currently retired pre pension living off savings thinking the conservatives are trying to change this country into the shit hole that is America. All we need is guns, actually we would probably use them. Not a good idea.

Comedians & Comedy Writers

I must admit I enjoyed the women’s euros but am not looking forward to the return of the mens game with bitchiness, bad hairdos, diving, dissent and overpaid players. Try convincing me that ManU players are professional and give value but they are a bunch of non funny comedians.You can bet the majority of football supporters look at the pictures in the Sun, Mirror or Mail and voted for Brexit, football not generally supported by the intelligentsia. Discuss, but not with me IDGAF.
