Election Year or Fear!

Clinton? Great role model! Thoughts - none, except we've maybe got a thread here that you and Swale can agree on.

To an extent, too much is made of Biden's age IMO, after all it wasn't so long ago that the wisdom of age was feted by the populace and the guy has certainly made a difference in the US, yes he makes the odd stumble, but then so do likes of Sunak, Johnson et al, even worse on some occasions they are deliberately lying.


Labour are hamstrung by the fact that they know the right wing media will attack them from every angle, quite why any sane person would question Labours record on the economy after 14 years of Tory **** up, but there you go that's the electorate for you.

We do seem to ahve got into this false economic rule of cutting public expenditure because of the national debt and the false equivalence of a country's budget being like a household budget.

There is money out there, its just that the richest 1% have got richer and the gap between the rich and the rest of us has got wider. Evidence of the fact that austerity does not work, in fact it impedes growth is to be found everywhere, but we will continue down this road it seems which will continue stagnation.

Anyway WW3 might have broken out before we get to an election, which may well resolve all the issues though at a cost which will be horrendous, but then thats perhaps the way of civilisations, boom , stagnation, war as a reset.
