[IdleRich]

Seems that she is still desperately clinging to power though somehow.

 

[Mr. Tea]

[vimothy]

panic re the budget is oversold

 

[luka]

whose panic?

 

[vimothy]

tax cuts for the bankers is quantitatively insignificant, the real problem is the boe raising rates (but less than the fed) while proposing to sell of gilts, at the same time the dollar is strengthening

 

[vimothy]

that's the issue here

 

[luka]

no idea what youre on about youre probably drunk

 

[vimothy]

why is the UK such an ongoing disaster

 

[vimothy]

that's the question surely

 

[craner]

He's totally hit the bottle, which is why he keeps trying to think of contrarian reasons why Putin will survive his stupid Holy War

Sad decline

It's right in that the amount of fuck up it directly causes isn't THAT bad... but when you think about the "new" regime and all the challenges they face and all the options open to them and see that what they choose is... something that only makes everything a bit worse, then that hardly fills you with confidence. What you just said is, the person who we hope will save the world and make everything better only made everything a bit worse - and that is a positive?

Imagine your football team is losing three nil and you bring on your super sub to save the game... and he instantly scores an own goal - and you'd be saying "he's only scored one at the wrong end" it would be true but not really that great.

Pretty funny though.

craner was also clearly enjoying a few drinky winkys last night

 

[luka]

[craner]

A quick and indiscriminate drive-by shooting

 

[craner]

See you again in 6 months

Well they obviously havent covered themselves in glory, but if you want to know why your team lost, blaming the super sub isnt really an adequate explanation.
