  1. Past hour
  2. Have you seen the lawyers asking for $6B over winning a Tesla case to prevent Musk from pocketing billions? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/mar/02/lawyers-who-had-elon-musks-pay-dismissed-as-excessive-seek-6bn-in-tesla-shares
  3. Yes, not a leadership problem a party problem, the damage has already been done.....Brexit didn't do them any favours, cost them many of their loyal supporters of old.....trust has been lost due to the inadequate way they have executed so many policies, or done nothing at all, not listening......not good enough, the country deserves better.
  4. Perhaps "it fell out through the door of an aeroplane" will become the new "boating accident"
  5. Today
  6. Is it just me or has anyone else seen some properties advertised on Rightmove as 'Subject to grant of probate'? See under Agents Notes: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/143891135#/?channel=RES_BUY Does this mean that they cannot exchange or complete until Probate is received. Are they trying to get a headstart on selling before they're legally able?
  7. one thing that i actually had sympathy for the politicans for was the hysteria from folk including the media....the jackasses screaming their 90 year old gran had passed and the place should have been locked down sooner...sure destroy the economy and the livelihoods of millions, get families and kids made homeless when they cant make rent and mortgage, stop medical screenings for serious illness, have the govt print zimbabwe dollars (furlough( and eff the economy up even mnore than it is.... so your gran can get another year...insanity...and the media were right in front of these folk acting like a loud speaker....the same media that were then caught out at gatherings partying it up.... I grew up with guys who as young men stared their end in the face everyday throughout the war, they had a very clear sense of their mortality which was abundantly clear to me a lot of old folk around to day from the boomer generation certainly dont seem to have...its ironic because thats their parents generation,
  8. If you go out into your average town in the week there are scores and scores of cookie cutter boomers wandering around like zombies, they are all probably booster jabbed up to the eyeballs....I highly suspect with no covid jabs their numbers would hardly be dented, even the last of the previous generation i know are still mostly around....i always said my gran who made it to 94 would have told them very politely "no thank you" to their jabs. She would have said she'd take her chances and she would have been firmly against injecting young people and kids with something that didnt affect them to save her. Unfortunately a lot of todays elderly are not like her I have noticed, flush with cash and property and range rovers they want the party to rock on(for them). I know a 90 year old with a brand new suv.....to be fair he puts the boomers to shame but he was straight down for his life prolonging jabs....i suspect he would have shaken covid off like a bad cold....i myself never got it until after the 2 jabs and i didnt get it till mid 2021 and i wish i hadnt now....never got it in a house full of it...then i got it 3 times after the jabs inc last year.....my boss was most put out when i used that as an excuse for not going into the office...havent heard of covid as an illness call for ages was his retort....i had a picture of the test for his benefit if wanted...i was just being respectful to colleagues but now re covid they couldnt actually give a rats derriere it seems anyway....
  9. They are determined to cut us adrift from the ECHR to "Take Back Control".
  10. Tbf they've got more of a party problem now than a leadership problem (appreciate they're interrelated though). All started to go horribly wrong with Brexit and this age of hysterical scrutiny doesn't really suit their shenanigans.
  11. In other words you don't like opinions that contradict In other words there is no democracy in Russia.
  12. That's not true, I've never heard anyone paying even 20k a year let alone anywhere approaching 30 so you are way off Plus, it's not like that money is going to the Treasury to get us better hospitals, schools, roads etc. universities are private entities so the profits are going in some fat cats pocket This is an article designed to trick people into think that immigrants are great for the general public They are not, they are a huge net drain
  13. Yesterday
  14. I certainly don't believe squaddies (who often snapped the Taliban in half in a "fair" fight) are inadequate, but the government and sub-contracted military institutions behind them certainly seem subpar like with Russia's and most other nation states' military institutions - in the next war I expect the UK military will collide into the wall at 180 mph. The 21st century is ending up like 1600s with regional great powers (HRE, England, Russia, and China) and early global powers (Spain, France, and Portugal) turning into failed states trapped in a cycle of slowly, plainfully blowing themselves and each other up.....
  15. The boom in international students is one of the reasons I’m increasingly bullish for prices in cities where they flock to. No chance anyone is killing this golden goose which comes with a steady stream of demand for uk rentals which props up yields and house prices ultimately. though the effect I imagine is much less sharp outside these cities
  16. Who cares? They’re paying (loads) for a service and are essentially subsidising UK student fees.
  17. How Tesla Became The Most Popular Car Brand In Norway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkRv2M--uzs
  18. yuk, I lived in E. Dulwich 20 yrs ago, near there Crystal Palace rd, it wa just starting to go mental then . thank goodness I moved up to Nw / N wales
  19. I personally wish I did not need a car for my commute but the day return costs £58! And it is likely to cost £61 next year and £65 the following. The cost of commuter trains is broken in this country.
  20. Just 13 more no confidence letters required apparently.
  21. i've spent a while trying to find a breakdown of the £4.6mn but i cant. It doesnt seem to be documented anywhere. The original tribunal judgement is here link but that was made 2 years ago.
  22. Its a good point that you make, but its just 0s and 1s in the GDP and the landlords pocket, are these people designing our next gen power stations or our new aircraft ? or are they going to do it for there own country?
  23. It really is a difficult decision. Whether it's you or Owen that gets the prize for the most disgustingly stupid person I have ever read/listened to. Borrell doesn't count here - because he's just a political turd.
  24. According to a study by TfL and London school of economics thirty percent of car journeys in the capital are less than two kilometres, mind-blowing. It's seems perfectly reasonable then to say that people are over reliant on the motor car for journeys that could (and I say should) be done by other means. Part of the problem is the way cars are marketed with adverting seemingly offering the dream of vacant roads and a beaming smile on face of the driver. Laughable given that the experience of driving in many parts of the country is, in fact, utter misery and a waste of one's precious time. Someone like Marky has clearly ordered his life around cars and driving; his lifestyle and living arrangements are wedded to it. That's fine, he's free to do so but it wouldn't be for me personally, a car can supplement a human life is all I think the marketeers and Clarkson types should sell us. I am pro EV though for environmental reasons and hope that the shift to electric will change people's attitudes towards car usage. However for the city life many don't have the opportunity for home charging and as we know the other options for charging are too costly and many might be reluctant to take the EV jump.
  25. Chinese authorities accuse Evergrande of inflating revenues by $80bn Interestingly they are only concerned on the impact on Mainland China's financials. Offshore creditors are basically f***ed and CCP doesn't give a s**t.
