Kwasi economics....

It’s like you think of politics as something that is done to you rather than an activity in which you participate. If that’s how you see it you’re right, nothing can be changed.

What do you do to participate then?

Oh look, those woke lefties at The Economist have an opinion.

My only quibbles are that Kwarteng has a paddle and there’s too few raw turds floating by.

I'm looking at retirement in the next few yrs and if a package came my way tomorrow I wouldn't be too bothered as I've got plenty of mates in various trades who can give me a couple of days every week to top my pension up, (which has dropped about 10k recently but not overly worried) Missus retired 3 yrs ago after 35 yrs in a Superannuation scheme with is perfectly safe, Son is a Prison Officer so doubt he'll be short of work and Daughter is TA in a school so would imagine there's always going to be a need for her services, house is paid for so won't be too worried on that score either.

Next?

No next. Just concerned that your confidence *may* be misplaced. Especially after all the hard work that you and your missus have put in over the years.

I do hope that all does go well, I would never wish anything else.

What do you do to participate then?

Limited by circumstances until I retire. I’m a less active member than I’d like to be of one political party, regular supporter of three campaign groups, and give what time I can afford to a charity that helps reduce harm caused by bastard Tories.

I'm not trying to 'get anywhere ' are you?

Is asking why people moan, moaning then?

Only through life relatively unscathed.

Is asking why politician's make the decisions they do, and highlighting their incompetence/venality and the effect of those decisions moaning? Their decisions affect the population even though you may be immune from their worst effects.

Your constant carping about the same issue is just as much moaning, probably worse, because political moaning on here does not affect the population in any real sense.

You aren't serious are you?

The constant repetitive posts how sh*t everything is in the country and you have the nerve to accuse me of repeating myself!

Priceless!

A bit like yourself really.

Wow!

Got you anywhere yet, these campaign groups?

 

[Deleted member 28]

All of the above.

Had much success, apart from wasting Police resources?

We all have our faults...even you.

It's called planning for the future my little friend, get a decent job with a final salary pension, work at your marriage rather than walk out at the slightest sign of difficulty, pay your house off in a timely manner instead of remortgaging for fancy cars/holidays and attempt to raise your kids to realise they can't have everything 'yesterday '.

Just my take on it anyway.

 

[newfhouse]

Wow!

Got you anywhere yet, these campaign groups?

Yes, but not far enough yet, obviously. That’s the entire point of their existence.
