Amps you are right, plus they are too thick to know they are being impacted right now. But when it hits them in the pocket surely they will then be questioning how great Trump is? By then he will reverse it all and make it look like he is helping them (having made the rich even richer)

        bosstrabs So… the poverty stricken turkeys who vote against their own possible wealth and interests do so because of Conservative beliefs? Individualism, nationalism, personal liberty, rule of law, a love of free market capitalism?

            Amps The British aren’t very xenophobic at all, in my experience.

            Certainly much less so than the Mediterraneans or East Asians.

            Probably vote Tory because they are tired of absolute left-wing belters going on at them and end up thinking “Fuck me, what if these mad cunts like Amps and Hannu get in and we have to pay for badger sanctuaries and tampons in men’s toilets as well, tax is going up 2p in the pound at least”

                RichM there will be a few US businesses that bring chunks of manufacturing back on shore and the Trump regime will then trumpet this from the rooftops while ignoring the inflationary impacts everywhere else. The MAGA mongs will lap all this up of course, safe in the knowledge that Don has their best interests at heart.

                      👀 Which bubble have you been living in?

                      I live in a cul-de-sac of 12 houses, and admittedly most of my neighbours are of a certain vintage, but at least half of them have given me the ‘johnny foreigner’ chat at some point.

                                Amps Surely, you’re fine now you’ve got Labour in though. Halving the aid budget, ramping up defence spending, removing winter fuel allowance and fucking the disabled. Go on!

                                      Just because other places are horrible doesn’t mean we are good. We’re also talking about voting, which we do in private, not how overt a nation is in it’s emotions. Plus, I did describe it as ‘Mild British xenophobia’, huge swathes of Brits are quietly racist in my experience.

                                          I’ve said they were Tory light from the word go. Nothing has changed so far.

                                            Millsy don’t forget that the companies that already produce stuff domestically will increase their prices too, because they can and will still be cheaper.

                                                  Glad to be HOLDING FIAT’S GREAT ASS instead of Tesla junk stock. Might buy the dip.

                                                  I’ve got ¾ of my mortgage in cash reserves. Was gonna pay the whole lot off in November using ISA to pay off the rest. Thats now fucked. Although it may recover soon. I’m assuming we all HODL. No paper handed bitches round here.

                                                  Benson, what does this mean for LOUNGE ACCESS?

                                                  Top tip: if forced to downgrade to Economy, you can pay to select your seat in advance, thus securing the bulkhead seat. Just like being in Premium Economy!

                                                  Also, Gordon Ramsay’s Plane Food is a good alternative to the LOUNGE, as it’s about £20 for Eggs Benedict with coffee and they are too polite to tell you to fuck off if you take your time.

                                                    Reckon Benners would ADORE the pay-to-access grot holes like ‘Aspire’, ‘Escape’ and ‘youlooknicebabes’.

                                                    If nothing else, battling at the buffet for all-you-can eat sausages and beans would be character building!

                                                        bosstrabs Not looking good. Losing silver at the end of this month and haven’t spent enough to trigger the 2-4-1 on the Amex in time for a trip to the Carribean in May 26.

                                                        I assume that if the economy tanks interest rates will drop so will remortgage on a 2 year fix or something.

                                                        I have done those pay lounges before. they are character building. I even flew from Luton about 18 months ago. What an experience.
