Current Economic Problems

[TWGL1]

Re: Current Economic Problems

listening to R4 this am, the big topic was inflation being > 10%. The general consensus amongst economists that the driving factors were post Covid demand being far greater than supply (fuel, energy, food) and that the war in Ukraine has not helped.

There were differing opinions on whether raising interest rates further would help or not, given the main drivers of inflation are external factors.

How much money has the UK government given to Ukraine so far , I’m sure some of this money could have been allocated elsewhere.

On a separate note how much weaponry worth billions was left in Afghanistan which could have been reallocated to Europe?

Makes no sense to me.

UK inflation hits 10.1 per cent this morning.

Organ was right about that one.

Correct me if I am wrong but it does appear you'd rather Putin and his cronies be allowed to run amok in Ukraine instead of the UK directly assisting? Do Chamberlain and appeasement mean nothing to you?

Why do you think the UK government borrowing to fund Ukraine's arms impacts inflation? Inflation is based on the rise in prices of a basket of goods, and it may surprise you to find that the NLAW doesn't feature in your typical everyday basket for most of us.

I'd say it's more corruption and greed on a massive scale. Other countries aren't suffering as much as us.

Read the world news , you may see a bigger picture developing

Its more about the nature of the USA departure and advanced communication to the UK , I'm sure a lot of stuff was sabotaged and to be fair was given to the Afgan government to use and defend it self ,they rolled over the rest is history , all departing armies leave behind weaponry ,some of it may well be over 16 years old :


From CNN

Approximately $7 billion of military equipment the US transferred to the Afghan government over the course of 16 years was left behind in Afghanistan after the US completed its withdrawal from the country in August, according to a congressionally mandated report from the US Department of Defense viewed by CNN.

Firstly, I’ve no opinion on a proxy war that’s been going on for 8/9 years and if I did , I’d like to see both sides of the argument reported in the UK media. This may assist with the sheep mentally of the general public.

I am not sure what inflation has got to do with the UK plundering billions into weaponry , I was hoping this money may have been allocated elsewhere within the Uk in places such as youth centres , homeless, schools etc , and I’m aware how inflation works believe it or not more-so as my wife is an accountant.

Hope that helps

Plundering means to take out and not put in.

Plundering means to take out and not put in.

The money has been taken out of the UK economy, and then utilised elsewhere.

Intrinsically linked to lockdown policy ?

If you have 10 minutes, take a look at this. It's absolutely nothing to do with party politics so hopefully won't lead to yet another bickering thread.

All covered in the Great Reset thread, and yes, there is lot's of bickering and outright denial, probably due to Bill Gates and the WEF being heroes to many on here

Great stuff. Definitely has that "let's sharpen up the pitchforks" rebelliousness about it! Vive la révolution!
