I'm rattled at the thought of a crypto-Marxist administration devastating the economy.
I wonder what Corbynites would have to say when their mortgage payments shot up - 'all for the good eh, at least we're weally compassionate init'
It will all feel lovely for a while - it always does when you are borrowing money - champagne, party, party, party - then the hangover.... Nine years its taken us to get here.... From 2008 to now and the brits are going back to a pubic debt binge - !!!!!!?Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.0 -

Given events this weeks, the effect of the cuts are there for all to see. It seems that Mr O'Reilly was right all along, but somehow I don't expect the right-wing media to highlight this! I also wonder what [STRIKE]excuses[/STRIKE] reasons May's supporters will give for this on here.
Oh right? And what was the alternative ? We are currently spending £4 billion a month we don't have - thats £50 billion a year plus interest that our children have to find taxes for....
How great is that?Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.0 -

As Carney said a few months back. The UK is dependent upon the charity of strangers to keep lending the UK the money. There could be a dramatic shift overnight with a corresponding fall in the £. Major challenges for the incoming Marxist Government to contend with. Before they've even started their spending plans.0 -

you all realise in this day and age, the financial system is entirely broken! the so called quantitative easing can continue at any point, the scale of interest rates and inflation has been broke for a decade.
At any time the government can just print more money, just like europe, just like the usa. Have none of you seen the interviews that are online, where senators simply state we will never default as we will just print the money we need to pay the debt.
We (the governments) no longer live in a financial responsible manner, they simply print money as and when, thus weakening each respective currency0 -
Jez we can!
Evil Edna will be in a blue funk today.
And today Corbyn is going to announce that there is a connection between Islamic terrorism, bombing the Middle East because the Americans tell us to, and funnelling billions of petrodollars to Saudi Arabia so that they can fund militant Wahabbist terrorism back here.
Can British people handle the truth? Will the Murdoch press explode? Can The Sun print an entire paper that just says CORBYN IRA repeated on every page.

Nasty little moron have some f***ing respect for what happened this week.0
