Hammond looks perplexed as usual...

I read that just before I went to bed BT, thinking phuckin idiots.

Is it another scare tactic for Brexit though ?

The bottom line is we are in debt, and the figure really doesn't matter that much (until interest rates rise then the sh!t will hit the fan).

I said when America started this home loans nonsense and brought everything crashing down that our debt would not be paid off (if at all) until my children's children grew up, now with the way the Tories are addressing it we'll be lucky if we claw anything back by the year 3000.

Like I said on another thread I never trust any Government statistic/forecast and seeing that somehow they have managed to misplace Billions just adds to my case.

It's not a question of where the money's gone, it's why we thought it was there in the first place if it wasn't. If the ONS can be out by £500 billion on this, how much else are they getting wrong ? And if the figures the government are being given to work with are simply rubbish, and totally unreliable as seems to be the case, we're fecked, whoever is in government.

Without any shadow of a doubt we are well and truly fecked with this current lot running the country!

Would you in all honesty buy a used car from any of these dodgy barstewards..?

And that is after 10 years of austerity.So what now-more austerity or Corbyn borrowing even more?

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Corbyn & McDonnell will tax the top 5% until their pips squeak, the MNC's will suddenly find their tax wheezes and dodgy dealings in tax havens cut off at source and of course they will simply borrow more off the Saudis with no honest intentions of paying any of it back!

BT, where does the country get it's wealth to pay for stuff?

Successful businesses.

How does it help the countries wealth if we shove up their corporation tax massively? Who would suffer? We ALL will.

Yes, let's try to make sure that everyone pays their fair share but let's not tax our wealth earners so much that they bugger off.

Now, more than ever, we need to support our well run and profitable businesses to keep them competitive on the world stage. It's the only money we have coming in.

So the half a trillion reserve they thought we had doesn’t exist. Isn’t that what Liam Byrnes letter actually promised.

We agree again 59-60, this is getting boring.
