So you agree with the policies? Make your mind up…No, I just think you're talking ****
It's all whataboutery and excuses.
You don't like the idea that you should be facing up to the fact that for whatever reason, you back the wrong horse.

To be fair out my way (and I'm sure in other parts of the country like Devon/Cornwall) that might not actually be a bad thing.... especially considering most areas seem to have a shortage of housing too.
Due to train links to London we're getting a lot of 'Londoners' buying second homes in Norfolk which not only push the prices up above the range of the local average wage, they also take away housing stock which just isn't be replaced.... then the second homes are left empty for over 50% of the year....
Some areas are in a situation where businesses rely on the second home owners for their income (no other choice) but can't get staff because the (minimum wage) staff can't live near enough to work there and second home owners have pushed prices up (not to mention bought the local houses....)

Oh I get it, this the Boris/Trump trick of being so deliberately obtuse that people give up with reason and you get to think you've "won".
Like I said earlier, you really need to pick your side and start practicing your lines. Either you weren't paying attention/bit of a simpleton and you went along with it, or you might lose a lot of goodwill/friends over the next year or so. This is not going to be pretty.
Better still, have a little think about people who are perhaps less fortunate than yourself and imagine how the government and the policies you blindly support have and are profoundly effecting them.

You seem to be using the Liz Truss tactic of not answering the question by giving a load on unrelated waffle instead… and you gong to tell me about what you have done to cut energy bills next.. or maybe just walk off..
The term "the wrong horse" would suggest that there is a right horse to back, sadly this isnt the case, all of the horses in the race are 3 legged and blind, all you can do is pick the one thats least likely to crash into the fence and kill its rider and is capable of making it at least 2 fences before the crowds watching realise its another 3 legged blind horseNo, I just think you're talking ****

That may or may not be the case, but either way, the wrong horse is relative to the others.

Because the only entity that exists to the right of this current Conservative Party is a bin full of Jimmy Savile's used condoms.

Maybe "the worst horse in the race" would cover the bases without leaving the implication that theres a right horse

Well, I can say, that one way I wouldn't have done it is by giving £150bln+ to the oil and gas companies gratis and lobbing that on the country's debt. Then announcing £65bln in tax cuts and sat and watched for 2 weeks whilst the world burned.
Pretty much any other course of action would have been preferable. Including doing nothing. At least then people wouldn't be facing massive increases in their mortgage interest payments which pretty much offset any benefit most people will see from the £150bln she's gifted to her mates at Shell et al.

There's always a margin.
Well I guess its good that he was STD conscious at least
Its just a shame that they are all crap and there isnt someone good we can back. Its like trying to make a choice between a group of serial killers to invite to dinner, none of them are ones you would really like to invite
I suggest we invite the one that's least likely to eat us.
That might work, we'd still probably lose a limb or two, but we've got four anyway so it will be ok
To use that analogy — right now we have the choice between a convicted serial killer, and someone without a criminal record but who (some people think) ‘looks a bit dodgy’.
Those people seem to prefer the certainty of being murdered and buried under the patio, rather than risking inviting over the ‘dodgy looking one’, just in case they turn out to be a serial killer.
It’s a bit odd.

This is a good article.

The markets have taken back control: so much for Truss's Brexit delusion of sovereignty | Jonathan Freedland
This is the biggest humiliation of Britain since Suez, a reminder that no government can ignore reality, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland
www.theguardian.com
In an ideal world, the choice would be to invite over someone who is neither a convicted serial killer nor looks a bit dodgy. However, in order to be able to do that we might have to alter the parameters of the dinner party, so that inviting someone along those lines becomes a possibility
Whilst that is true, it's still no good calling the boring lawyer who's turned up a peado loving Jimmy Savile apologist, whilst laughing and joking with the fella who's literally saying stuff like "let the bodies pile high" or the weirdo in the corner who thinks selling cheese to the genetically lactose intolerant Japanese is a good business plan.
These people are not all the same.

Everyone has amazing content - thank you for sharing - and all opinions are valid (they are not) but has anyone taken a second to reflect on this amazing film and any similarities to either ongoing events and/or the last several posts?
If not why not?
