FTSE today, down 1.5%. Down 2.8% over the last month. Down 0.3% over the last 6 months.
It's a bear market. This is nothing compared to march 2020.
Not good, but also hardly the end of civilisation.

Re: Cost Of Living Crisis
Today's action portend breathtaking events. You've been given the SP - between now and the end of next month - for when things go tits up. Russia-Ukraine has become old hat, fewer and fewer people buy it's the real cause of them having to pay more for everything. Perhaps China attacking Taiwan or Israel versus Iran is the next scripted event.
The latter would provide the perfect pretext to close the Strait of Hormuz and send the oil price skyward. The mammoth Israeli Chariots of Fire military drill provides a clue that that scenario comes next.

Re: Cost Of Living Crisis
In the last 2 hours news has broken that Libya has shut down almost all oil production and Ukraine has banned the export of anthracite, coal, fuel oil and domestically produced natural gas.
Looks like we're in trouble !

Having attended inter-governmental meetings quite a few times I do find it amusing that they are all supposedly working together in an overarching conspiracy when some of them refuse to talk to each other, sit next to each other or, in some cases, not even be in the same room at the same time.

Bitcoin falling like a stone is a general sign that investors are de-risking. But it is also the most manipulated asset/market in the history of planet earth too so it's hard to use it as a guide to anything.

Is Betfred putting odds put there yet ??
I fancy a convincing Israel win after extra time, and China to progress to the nuclear stage after a replay where Joe bottles it .

Organ's "contact" somehow knows something that nobody else in the world does. A guy from Cardiff who lives for conspiracy and posts on a Cardiff City forum several times a day has a contact who can predict armageddon to the exact month.
Sometimes I feel like the crazy on here is too much for me and then posts like this keep me coming back.
Glad I jumped from *****' board when I did :hehe:

Pretty sure I had very little say in Libya's approach to its oil production.
Also, and I've asked you this before but you didn't reply - if as you say "us clueless majority" allow whatever you consider "this" is to happen, what have you been doing? Apart from posting about it on a subsection of a football messageboard?

Some of us are trying to raise awareness and urging visitors at this forum to prepare as best they are able. Naturally, whether they choose to pay heed is their choice. At a post directed at you a few days ago I acknowledged most of us, me included, are in the crosshairs. Of course, I don't welcome the prospect of a blown-out economy and holding a rapidly depreciating currency and the resulting pandemonium.
I understand why you don't believe, or don't dare to believe, that what we're experiencing is by design and our government, as are all others worldwide, is in the pocket of a higher authority that is determined to have its way by collapsing this system to ensure people suffer to such an extreme extent that those who are still around will meekly accept the solution offered to alleviate their suffering.
Today it's next to impossible to imagine the common man will gratefully sacrifice everything they own in return for promised security and a life of serfdom in some world government workhouse by another name.

If you were a bit more reliable in your warnings then maybe we’d believe you more, it’s not that long ago you were saying Covid was designed to only kill Chinese people and it’s an ever shorter time ago you posted a link “as a warning” to a guy that was saying that Russia were going to nuke us that Friday.
Now you’re saying that coats will cost thousands in less than 6 weeks and you’re surprised when we question it

Ridiculous premise, isn't it? I mean, coats always cost less in the summer. Come on Organ, sort it out!

Re: Cost Of Living Crisis
I noticed the coffee I always purchase jumped 12.5% in price from a week earlier, it was also upped 8% last December.
Every price comparison article I read that compares the cost of a basket of the same items in four supermarkets - Aldi, Morrisons, Asda and Tesco - always has Tesco as the most expensive at around 10% higher than a virtual tie between Morrisons and Asda and 20% costlier than Aldi.
Are Tesco fans richer or dafter than shoppers who visit the others?

I think smart shoppers have an account at ASDA as it's the only supermarket chain that doesn't monitor the on line behaviour of their most loyal clients.

Re: Cost Of Living Crisis
I noticed today town was heaving with £5.50 plus drinkers... they weren't the weathly folk , just ordinary fun loving middle earners , without a care in the world and no real cost of living worries.

As curmudgeonly as you often are, I really do hope your grub cupboards are groaning with goodies and you've had the foresight to have already bought Christmas gifts.
By then, you along with many of us may very well be reminiscing about life in the UK just six months earlier. We'll recall how food was plentiful and affordable, CPI inflation was a mere 9%, the streets were still teeming with vehicles, there were never power cuts, violence wasn't all around, most working age people had jobs, gangs of organised thugs never looted supermarkets and 8pm to 6am curfews were unheard of.

You missed out on the relevance of real cost of living poverty :
No access to subscribed TV , broadband, mobile phones, car ownership, season tickets, socialising, device ownership.... ect etc ..
It's all bollocks this modern cost of living poverty criss we should rename it as cost of Iiving reality .
I do wonder how less emotional this would if a Labour Government were in power trying to deal with a cost of living crisis which is 90% driven by global influences.

It'll be everything. I think I remarked why pay X amount more for anything you know you will you will need six months hence and beyond when you can purchase the same today at a much lower cost.
Someone asked me earlier this week when grumbling about the increasing cost of living: "why are the government letting this happen?" My reply was: "they are making it happen."
He looked confused. "Another Teletubby," thought I.

I mean they could...and bear with me because this is groundbreaking...not be the people who are going to suffer most during a cost of living crisis
Or maybe they loaded up in spoons at 2 quid a pint and bought one expensive one to look cool

Re: Cost Of Living Crisis
The weird thing about all of this is that even the government haven't sunk as low as to say that the cost of living crisis isn't real or that nobody in the UK could possibly be in actual poverty, and really they just can't afford their superspeed broadband.
It begs the question, just how detached is LOM, when not even the most detached people in the UK (the current cabinet) are in the same ballpark.

22.5 k posts in and you are pondering the level of LoM's detachment. I am similarly perplexed how flies venture nowhere near you in these clammy nights!
