There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

All this talk by Rachel from Accounts about low productivity in the UK 
In this modern world of services & finance etc how do they actually calculate productivity given most people don’t work in factories knocking out widgets these days?
With modern technology I imagine most office based people are far more productive than they ever were

Someone sent me this earlier:

Not sure if it's real/matters...

Maybe stop sending arms/money to Ukraine and sink any  incoming boats in the channel. That would be a good start and save a few quid. Fucking ponces and nonces running the UK since the 90’s.
A great nation ruined by incompetence and do gooders.
 

Fewer people working harder, paying more, for more and more not working.

Still it's great to know that all those taxes are being spent wisely, and the state of public bodies is in such a great state and doesn't lend itself open to jaw dropping incompetence on an almost daily basis.

"When Tony Blair came  to power the national debt was 25% when he left it was 65%. The Conservatives had spent the last 14 years trying to pay of that debt that Labour had accumulated and also paying for a pandemic. Under Starmer 91% to 97% national debt in 18 months."

Surprised she didn't blame it all on the flags...or VAR

the speech was pretty much a list of excuses then told you that you'll have to pay for it.

labour (which means you) are fucked, they cannot get any welfare reform through parliament so the only option is to keep hiking taxes.

I love the way she shoehorned AI into the speech a couple times.

”ooooh, brand new shiny AI!!! In that case please tax me more”!!

She blames the cost of borrowing while ignoring the fact it’s gone up under her watch.
She blames inflation while ignoring the fact her NI increase has caused this.

There’s no attempt to cut the welfare bill, just tax working people more.

This labour government hates you.

Fuck all to do with covid and even if it was then why wasn't it an issue at the previous budget. 

It's just rank bad financial irresponsibility.

The cunts need voting out for reneging on their promise not to raise taxes, to the electorate.

Seemed to be doing the Covid nonsense. Absolute cuntery of it.

big speech delivered by Rachel from accounts, basically paving the way for income tax hikes in the budget.

if this was France people would be rioting.

an apt weekend to remind people of what it must of been like for Jews in Germany before/during WW2... what have we become, this made my heart sink to read/watch

Thanks, Sven.  Just so you're aware, I'm not one to get too bothered if I spell something incorrectly if I've managed to communicate what I wanted.  I've noticed that it becomes really important to you once you've lost the argument.  I wouldn't want you wasting your time on me.

It is SLEEZE though.  She's been dishonest/immoral.  Take your pick.
