Yes but perpetual growth on a finite planet is great or something. Time for a reset.....still. Or off to space or something! |  |

Someone started a major European war on the back of a global pandemic while we're stuck with a government more concerned about personal wealth than strengthening society. |  |

Well the UK is currently running an experiment where economic growth doesn't happen, it's about 15 years so far, so we can see how that works out for us all. | |

So that's an experiment you can guarantee the pro corporate, pro globalism EU was never going to take. So all ends up we get f#cked it seems. | |

Of course they're going to be bad.
Lots of free money given which helped the economy. Take away this money, followed by a war in Ukraine and a cost of living squeeze, things are going to get a lot worse IMO. Brexit has also had a massive impact. Working for an exporting company, it's been absolutely devastating.
I was speaking to a taxi driver on Saturday. He was saying that he and many others are really struggling with getting any business. He was considering getting a second job just to survive. Also, the restaurant I went to was empty, on a Saturday night! People are really starting to tighten their belts with the cost of living spiralling out of control. [Post edited 13 Jun 2022 10:20]

You almost got an uppie from me...but you said there was a war in Russia. I think you will find that it is almost exclusively in Ukraine. |  |

Construction is going to collapse - the big boys will be fine as always as they bully their way to big margins but with labour going throught he roof, materials going through the roof and building regs changes making jobs higher specced and more expensive no one will dare to do anything
And when extensions his £2.5K + VAT a square metre everyone will keep their money in their pockets with the economy collapsing |  |

Doughnuts have to be three dimensional being, as they are, a model for the three dimensional biosphere.
So all life on Earth is intended to be represented by the doughnut model. Just remember what George Box said though - 'All models are wrong but some are useful.' | |

Does anyone on this board actually still think Brexit is a good idea. I see Rhys-Mogg is still struggling to find any opportunities other than something to do with vacuum cleaners.
Surely a discussion about rejoining the single market is inevitable in the next 5-10 years. The only thing I see Brexiteers clinging on to is the whole it's going to take time for the true benefits to be seen. Once that is proven to be an illusion surely we will need to recognise our wrong doing. |  | | |

"Working for an exporting company, it's been absolutely devastating."
'A few miles away in the small town of Bampton, near the Somerset border, John Wescott, a beef and sheep farmer who also runs a butcher’s shop in town, says Brexit has affected the export side of his business very badly — “it is all taking 10 times longer than it used to”, he says.'
I still find it incredible, what was obvious (ie the UK out of the EU), would mean it would be subject to the same rules as all other non EU countries, did not sink into the thickos heads.
The Lowestoft fish women wailing that Johnson lied to her. It is not that idiocy alone that is striking, but that the lies he told her were so obvious lies that even a child eating fish fingers would know they were lies.
Just as we now have farmers whining how bad it all is. These subsidy junkies believing tales of being freed from EU control would mean they could sell their products around the world. No thought to check what regulations would exist outside of the EU. No consideration as to whether they could actually compete against the US, Aus and NZ. No slight concern of how brexit would mean the lowering of standards, as a necessary tool to try to get back what the UK once had (see Aus/NZ), and how that would affect them.
The NUF did consistently warn them, but as with others they were all too willing to buy into the scam. Fck the rest of the country, and any related warnings, they were not their concern.
So expect a huge amount of whinging -by farmers after the Devon by election.

Just what we need with the housing market already in dire straits |
Housing market in 'Dire Straits' I feel is an exaggeration and I am tempted to say you still can not get 'Money for Nothing'. New houses, new warehousing, new factories are going up everywhere and the building industry is in as good a place as can be expected in these troubled economic times.
'The engineering and construction industry has made a significant recovery from the 2020 recession, but it has also experienced multiple headwinds that are expected to persist. 2022 should be another rewarding–but challenging–year, and the industry looks to be poised to capture growth opportunities.'
If house prices do fall by a few percentage points then that is fine by me - my granddaughters might just be able to get on the 'ladder'. | | | |

"The British Growers Association (BGA) reported that among that total are millions of lettuce heads. Others took to Twitter to highlight cases of crop destruction on a massive scale."
"A tweet by investigative journalist Luke Hanrahan showed a salad farm in Kent, where 150t of crop had been wasted due to labour shortages. The crop was in production at LJ Betts in Kent, and suggested 30% of this year’s potential output had been lost because of labour shortages.A tweet by investigative journalist Luke Hanrahan showed a salad farm in Kent, where 150t of crop had been wasted due to labour shortages. The crop was in production at LJ Betts in Kent, and suggested 30% of this year’s potential output had been lost because of labour shortages."
"And a report by The Times featured an onion grower who had ploughed down a field-scale crop worth £75,000 because only 60% of the worker vacancies had been filled."
The farmers blamed the labour shortage on Brexit immigration policy, which had aimed to replace eastern Europeans with British workers. But year after year, home recruitment has failed to draw in the numbers of workers needed." all qutes 13/06/21
That Farage and Johnson lied through their teeth, in contradiction of easily known information did not come as any surprise. That so many willingly ignored what was known still shocks.
You have the feeling, as in postwar France. Looking at those around you and not knowing if they were collaborators, sided with a foreign power (Russia in this case) against their own people. Their bleats of, they were not told, or that they were 'only obeying orders' similarly ring hollow. As they did over 75 years ago.
