Why Fella? There is a small development of 80/90’s houses at Port Clarence some of which are boarded up some burnt out. When I last passed by - 5 years or more ago now, the site seemed to be occupied by members of the ‘travelling community’ hence the gypsy ref. Houses for sale there in the original development for £30,000. Strange really as it virtually backs on to an RSPB reserve.

Gold strategy in the current economy

Off radar bullion buying by the BRICS in preparation for their new gold backed currency to displace the US dollar, maybe? -
China plots to flood the West with cheap cars

BMW/Audi/Merc cars seem to often be driven by total d*&*heads. Don’t know why, but that alone makes me not want to own one…. -

Perhaps Schlomo should watch the James May video review of the current Dacia Sandero. He opines that it’s a car for those “with more sense than money”. Steve Cropley the motoring journalist who has been testing and reviewing cars for decades is also a big fan of the most recent offerings from Dacia which are pretty much all now based on the current generation of Renaults. Steve Cropley - on the current Sandero Stepway “ it’s not just a good car for the money, it’s a good car full stop”. -

Great piece by Nick Bono. He could have also mentioned the bung to LLs called Housing Benefit. If you want just one reason not to vote Tory then licking the RENTERS REFORM BILL into the long grass is it. The Sensible Party will: Immediately on taking power end s21 totally so LLs can only sell to other LLs or if the tenant moves out of their own accord. Introduce rent controls at 50% of current market rents. Clamp down on tax avoidance by LLs - it happens I know one who has got away with it for about 15 years. Double stamp duty on rental property and second homes. Enforce standards on rental properties as per proposals in the RR Bill…… Any thoughts?

Reform Is the 2024 Dark Horse
BobTheBear replied to Social Justice League's topic in House prices and the economy
I challenge you all to take a look at the SDP’s website and policies and then come back on here and tell us what’s not to like. Never heard of them, or thought they folded years ago with the Gang of Four, that’s their biggest problem! -
Some bint from the EUs Copernicus body was spouting yesterday about how temps globally are over one degree C above pre-industrial levels. Ok I have a question, how were temperatures in pre-industrial eg 16-18th centuries measured and how accurate were those measurements compared with those of today? There could easily be an error of more than + or - 1 degC

Starmer Has Blown It

We need real change and you won’t get it from the ConLabLib shitshow. Check out the SDP’s website and read about their policies. Then you will understand why they get zero mention in the MSM. The thing the elites fear most is an outbreak of common sense. -
The party with the best policies in their current manifesto IMHO is the SDP. However, as they seem to be virtually invisible to most people, very few people will ever read them, which is a tragic shame. Few even know that the party still exists, let alone what their policies are. Perhaps they should rebrand themselves as the commonsense party, which pretty much sums up most of their policies.

I have a Starling Bank current account. Got an email this week saying that they are increasing the interest rate on this from 0.05% to 3.75%! Up to £5000 balance anyway. Could they be the next Metro Bank?
