Starmer's vision quest

[Ian H]

So, rather than cut spending, you redirect spending?, but, who decides what is “productive” spending (there are as many ‘right’ answers as there are economists), and, some changes take time to produce results (education and training spring to mind immediately), this may have cash flow implications. Your personal story is heartening, but, the outcome may have been luck, rather than wise choices. No disrespect intended by the way.

My outcome was down to a good business plan and a lot of hard work. Scale that to a national economy and the implementation is vastly more complex. But what is your alternative?

Sounds like something from the Iron Lady's book of speeches.

I don't have an alternative, I agree with your thinking. But, who decides what is "a good business plan", good for whom?, and, I like to think I am wise enough to recognise that many factors are beyond my control.

Only if that's the only measure of success you allow.

There was no mention of what the measure of success was?, only mention of a ‘good’ plan and a lot of hard work.

Timing is everything. If I leave slightly too early, I hit a sea of Parkrunners coming from the opposite direction.

Don't you just hate it when that happens. Forgot about the Cardiff Park Run this morning, with no way round them through Bute Park.

A sound, sensible government. That's not the Tories, who knows if it could be Labour.

If only there were some sort of clue as to how they might behave in office.

Those concerned, as I am, about tool's rolling meltdown (Mult's Melt? Will we get an album of jazz piano from it?) rest assured I've asked my rellie from the cu-de-sac behind to check in on him, make sure his fridge's stocked and bedding changed, signpost him to statutory and voluntary sector support, perhaps encourage him away from the computer and out for some forest bathing, maybe sit and read to him from Jordan Peterson's latest if his busy substance-abusing schedule will allow..
Whether it'll help or not..? I guess we'll find out.
You do what you can.

Come on, he just needs a bit more roughage in his diet. I'd also recommend a quiet walk round the block, but maybe not given the 'hood he lives in.

Yeah, been waiting 75 years for one of those

Junkie update:

Heard today from the volunteers who run the community shop (from which junkie woman is banned, but junkie man still shoplifts because the over 70s who man it are too scared to confront him) that a while back the junkies offered to volunteer behind the counter in order to "give some thing back to the community".

Prîcks like Bobsawanker, Rusty Fails and Andy the Freak, will be along soon to say it never happened. Fozy will post some oh-so-clever self-satisfied gibberish.

I will sit back watching them make utter fools of themselves, because of course the only person here who knows the truth is me.

Have at it internet-sadsacks

Never said in didn't happen Tool. I said you were a self righteous twat, if you recall.

 

[multitool]

Oh look, as if by magic, bottom-dweller Bobsawanker has popped up for a snipe

Yeah. Really self-righteous, aren't I.

 

[bobzmyunkle]

Yeah. Really self-righteous, aren't I.

Along with pompous and puerile. Keep up the good work and do keep us updated.

"Us".

You dickless twat.

I've more respect for Shep than I have for you. At least he stands on his own two feet.
