And there I was thinking that brit1234 was the chief scare-mongerer on here but your post above makes him look ultra-positive in comparison!!!
You really do need to take a chill pill and calm down instead of working yourself up into a huge lather over stuff you can't do owt about.
The problem is there are a large number of people on here who are re-arranging deckchairs on the titanic.
In the governments own words we "have no idea how bad it is going to get".
It's going to get very VERY bad.
Best case scenario: Army returns home and maintains order, over-debted go into work camps to pay it off.
Worst Case scenario: Government loses control, UK breaks in smaller "sub" states. We go Zimbabwe. Mass starvation. 50+% of the population die.
As I said, it will get very VERY bad. Bad on a whole new scale of bad.
I'm not hoping for it. I'm just telling you what will happen.
Please go out and buy a copy of the "financial times" tommorrow and you will see what I am saying.I :smileyhea:smileyheayou SquatNow. You are soo right. Give me a bus load of pensioners and I'll give you the world.
Not just Pensioners... pensioners who have been told for the last 45 years that they are entitled to and will receive a comfy retirement who will soon be told they will retire penniless and end up starving to death in a freezing cold house. You want p!ssed off? I'll show you p!ssed off.(PS just read that you don't really squat, might be going off you a bit)
Lots of people who aren't homeless put in time and effort to help homeless people. People who arn't dying go into hospitals and spend time with terminally ill patients. Why shouldn't someone who doens't squat try to help the squatting movement?
With mass repossessions coming, squatting may be the only choice for many people. The concept of social squatting is aimed to encouraging people to squat in manner that will not allow the government to justify outlawing squatting... something which it would love todo. I don't need to encourage people to squat, they will do that through necessity. I just want to make sure the government can't take that right away.Bankruptcy isn't the worst that can happen to you. The worst that can happen is your forced to live the rest of your life in abject poverty trying to repay the debts.0 -

Come on, it's going to be bad, but I really don't think that the Uk is going to end up like Zimbabwe. A touch of the old Eastern Europe at its absolute worst maybe. And please don't try out taking Modanifil SN.....0 -
mh, I thought I read that in the "what happened to this forum" thread
We went to Israel for a week in early April, but sadly I'm not on holiday at the moment (-:...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Have now, hadn't when I posted than, was at work.Come on, it's going to be bad, but I really don't think that the Uk is going to end up like Zimbabwe. A touch of the old Eastern Europe at its absolute worst maybe.
What have you get to suggest it wont? Pick up a copy of the financial times... you see I'm quite sane.Squatnow says ""In the governments own words we "have no idea how bad it is going to get".

I work till 11 or later most nights.
I've been saying for ages house prices would fall. The government has been saying that (for the first time in history) they would platue. I was right, the government was wrong. Read the financial times and you will see that virtually everyone in finance also knows more than the government.Bankruptcy isn't the worst that can happen to you. The worst that can happen is your forced to live the rest of your life in abject poverty trying to repay the debts.0 -

I dunno. 20 years from now, I see it.
Look at the brawls we had in petrol stations during the fuel shortage.
Now imagine it's not a fuel shortage, it's a food shortage.
Most societies are said to be three meals away from anarchy.
Looking at how people in this country already behave, it might be fewer than three.
And there will be a food shortage - growing world population, climate change, oil depletion. The UK hasn't been able to feed itself since before Napoleon's time.Hurrah, now I have more thankings than postings, cheers everyone!0 -

Please! Stop it now! My sides can't take much more of this.
