UKs 70 year olds are far less likely than their American counterparts to share Christian memes. They share different kinds of reactionary memes suggesting that ‘woke’ and what they think is hilarious to call ‘elf and safety’ are the causes of why things are so shit now rather than looking somewhat closer to home.
I saw yesterday that there’s a strong protection from the vaccine against Long Covid. Perhaps that would give him more time to contemplate his foolishness.
Why does there even need to be a COP every year? They know what to do, they know what will be enough and they have the authority in their home nations to do it. COP is just theatre.
Now all we need is for the CIA to take responsibility for the Islamic State and the circle of life (and death) is complete.
Scares the beejesus out of me.
US once again threatening jihadis with a good time. Anyone else read the news story about how the Taliban fighters are all depressed to find themselves as civil servants? That’s how to deter people.
Similar thing happened back in the 80’s at a Sorting Office where I worked. The letters, then, were sorted into a 48 box fitting. They took a row of 48 box fittings down and discovered a postcard that was alleged to be 100 years old. I think they had a little ceremony with the living descendants of the addressee. This was when the Royal Mail prided itself on delivering the mail.

Those costumes are only worn on the State opening of Parliament (which is kinda like Halloween for politicians) and even then only by certain people fulfilling certain ceremonial roles e.g. Black Rod.
Where wigs and gowns were a daily occurrence, until recently, was Crown Court where serious criminal trials were held. The rules changed a couple of years ago.
And even if there were a mechanism, the Kennedys are Democratic royalty.
Always. If inflation runs away, the poor suffer. If we get stuck in a deflationary cycle the poor suffer. Apparently it is impossible to construct an equitable system that works without gross inequality (spoiler: it isn’t but some people love inequality and will do anything to prevent things being distributed more equally.)
It provides a reason for them not to just “take their ball and go home” once they have a pile of money.
If that’s the reason for it it’s not doing its job. Investments are much like savings to high net worth individuals and their investments are managed by someone else and they simply lay in the cut and collect dividends. Yes there is a risk to investments but if you’re in a good wealth fund then over time you’re almost guaranteed to win even if you have disastrous months here and there.
Yes, this is true but you also have to factor in the marginal propensity to consume, or in plain English, the poorer you are the more of your income you have to spend on necessities like rent or groceries.
There are always high interest investments available to people with a large amounts of spare cash floating about even when inflation is low.
If your rent + utilities + food = your income then you ain’t hoarding money even in a deflationary spiral.
Look into the history of 2-Tone, you’ll find that it was not appropriated but a movement deliberately calculated to bring black and white teenagers together.
Ska is simple, fun music that cares little for anything other than being fun, and is often gleefully immature.
Ska, as youngsters know it today, was reinvented by the 2-Tone movement in the UK (specifically Coventry) in the late 70s. The scene was overtly political and as @NuPNuA has stated was a deliberately multicultural movement, hence the name.
If you want to hear some original ska from Jamaica then have a look for songs by Prince Buster but beware you will find some historical attitudes.
This is because inflation isn’t a bug it’s a feature.
Anything that transfers wealth up the chain, from working class to middle class and from middle class to upper class, is a feature of the western economic system.
For example, in England and Wales the Bank of England is charged with keeping inflation at a target of around two per cent. This means that the pound in a workers pocket is supposed to devalue. The advantage is that the government borrows money in its own currency so inflation means that its debt goes down (in real terms) when inflation goes up.
Just FYI, the CEO of Fable Studios is one Edward Saatchi. His father is Maurice Saatchi whose advertising agency was partially responsible for ten years of Conservative rule under Margaret Thatcher. The family absolutely has previous with union bashing.
