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. - Today

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

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.....

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

Tesla...............the Betamax of future cars?
Freki replied to Maghull Mike's topic in House prices and the economy
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. -

Just 13 more no confidence letters required apparently. -
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.

Tesla...............the Betamax of future cars?
smash replied to Maghull Mike's topic in House prices and the economy
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. -
Evergrande (Merged threads)
msi replied to TheCountOfNowhere's topic in House prices and the economy
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. -

Freki replied to Maghull Mike's topic in House prices and the economy
I mean the i4 looks like a top car to drive. It was outside of my budget and went with an EV6 instead but the i4 would have been my choice. A neighbour has one and I will eye it every time I walk by. Anyway, I'm super happy with it. Doing Reading - London Paddington twice a week with it, it really removes the edge from that stupid commute.
