Interest rates up 0.5%!

Re: Interest rates up 0.5%!

Nice idea, sadly much harder to do that now because some old chumps voted to take the freedom of movement they enjoyed amongst 27 countries away from the following generations

Well said! Just one pedantic point, they've taken it away from all of us. It's personally a nightmare for me logistically (as you'll no doubt remember from my spats with James Wales) but yeah,

These youngsters could always buy a house up the valleys if they really wanted to get on the ladder,plenty going for less £100,000. And these youngsters can afford it just get rid of their Netflix, top mobile phone contract, Sky, holidays etc. etc but they would rather moan than actually do any of the above.

Is Netflix, at what 8.99 a month actually deemed a luxury these days? It’s less than 2 pints in a pub…..some saving if you ditch it, that £100 a year….

How have we 'fecked it up' ?

Environment
Brexit
Lack of investment in core industries such as steel manufacturing etc

I'd add cognitive dissonance to that list as biggie:

'The discomfort is triggered by the person's belief clashing with new information perceived, wherein the individual tries to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort.'

No, I'm not having a go. I was concerned you might think that. It's something I believe a lot of people on here practice. It's worth reading about. I find this interesting. Sorry, mate. I've talked about this stuff before. I'm actually agreeing with you.

Don’t know mate I’m old and don’t have Netflix, nor a £30+per month phone contract or Sky at what £60 plus , you see how it all adds up

Re: Interest rates up 0.5%!

You're 33 and moan constantly. You've probably got another 50 odd years of moaning in you. Why don't you go to France or Germany and moan there if you don't like it here so much.

Old people like you made it much much harder to move countries after the catastrophically stupid brexit vote...

Re: Interest rates up 0.5%!

When you think about it, if we can't moan on a football forum, no matter what our age, socio-economic group, ethnicity, gender, political leanings etc. when can we moan? In fact where can we moan? We're football supporters, it's what we do.

Re: Interest rates up 0.5%!

How well are you doing, got your own house in a resonable area?

If so you are a champagne socialist and they are the worst kind!

For the fourth time on this forum I'll ask, what's the exact amount of wealth I should have before I can complain about inequality in the UK? I repeatedly get called a champagne socialist or told I'm just jealous of the wealthy.

So come on, step up and tell me.
