Cyril, who's batting for Team Klaus most days here, knows it's true but is desperate for the Teletubbies to remain in denial by staring at Netflix shite for 12 hours per day.
I can only repeat my info suggests social and economic turmoil the like the world has never witnessed before will be triggered within the next nine weeks.
High density population areas will burn first. Residents of cities and towns will flee. Eventually rural communities will be overwhelmed by those intent on living another day. Farmers will use their last shotgun cartridge on themselves.
The strategy is to ensure those who survive the internecine bloodletting will not just welcome the solution offered to ease their suffering but demand they sacrifice everything they own in return for the promise of being allowed to exist as a worm-eating slave at a secure accommodation.
I'll be off soon to visit the barber and then proceed to get sloshed at two of my favourite drinking dens.
Both have beer gardens. It's where I linger. I wait for the unwary to come within doom-mongering range. I don't care how happy/relaxed/content they are initially because I almost always ensure their mood soon becomes gloomy before depression sets in.
I shall return tomorrow to submit messages, none of which will be happy-clappy.
During 2021 average workers' pay rose 4.4%, average consumer prices rose 8.5%, and average CEO pay (in 500 biggest corporations) rose 17%. Even in pandemic, capitalism deepens inequality. Gross!!!
Get the Tory’s out, levelling up my arse.
I was stymied yesterday. The barber's was heaving and I didn't fancy waiting for hours. Both pubs were virtually empty. However, I believe I did manage to ruin one bloke's day. I would like to think before returning home he visited a supermarket to exit with a carrier bag in each hand weighed down with a load of tins.
It seems you are determined to remain complacent. Time for one of my favourite quotes. It's from Ayn Rand, author of Atlas Shrugged: You can ignore reality, but you can't ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.
If your plan is to Lewis Hamilton it to your nearest Tesco to fill the boot and back seats up with loads of grub within hours of learning of whatever event is planned to kickstart the collapse has happened, then you'll likely find yourself in a giant scrum down every aisle battling others for the last bag of frozen sprouts, etc.
I noticed last week a decline in pub punters' numbers, at least in those I attend, and there's been fewer in them this week.
Yesterday and on Wednesday for the first time I noticed a marked decline of shoppers inside Tesco, Iceland and elsewhere. There were far fewer in the streets too. Also their quietness struck me.
Fish and chip shops, takeaways, pubs and restaurants will be the first businesses to shutter as people begin to fasten their financial belt at an increasing rate.
Mention of fish and chip shops being among the first to go belly up. It's begun.

Contrary to what you may believe, when I socialise I don't ring a clanging bell while prophesying "the end is nigh."
I do however always have a mouth organ on my person. My repertoire is glumness personified. About the most optimistic tune I play is Nearer, My God, to Thee.
Less of your lip as well, boyo.
The landlord in one of the boozers has of late foregone a nice earner by making the excellent juke box free. I overheard his wife remark they are loathe to raise their alcohol prices even though they are paying circa 10% more than a few months back, and he groaned yesterday about the increased cost of heating and lighting the joint.
I popped into a Wetherspoon too and was surprised by their hike in prices. From what I could see there was a lot less on plates than there once was. That's known as shrinkflation.
At your advanced age you likely know much more about shrinkage than many of us.
I intended to ask whether you had observed clues to the impending collapse. They are becoming difficult to ignore. Fuel/energy inflation appears to be the means employed to bring the hammer down.
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.” Frank Zappa.

How come the government are blaming the increases we are seeing on the current crisis in Ukraine when it’s cheaper than it was in 2013?
I expected deflection.
As mentioned in another post, on trips out for two days prior I noticed for the first time a marked drop in shoppers and people walking around shopping streets. I wouldn't say anyone looked suicidal, though I felt I sensed a growing feeling of despair. The virtual silence at times was quite eerie.
I gave a very simple example which you either could not comprehend or chose to misrepresent.
350 Turkish lira is less than twenty quid, while 700k of the same currency is around 33 thousand pounds.
Factor in how long it would take to earn those two sums and the timeframe to accumulate their original wealth. When you have you might be able to conclude just why Asif would have a face down to his arse, as Ahmed yawns and shrugs about his loss.
