You've either had a few too many beers, or are in need of a few.
Anyway, wrong thread bud. However, since you insist; if you actually do think that Banks have suddenly become parasitic and this whole mess is due to the advent of CV-19 then you must be even more  than I realised.

So so predictable 

not the wrong thread at all although you’d love it to be so, I don’t drink 42 and haven’t for a long time and on top of that I’m offshore so as usual you are way way off the mark. Genuinely do you really think the current situation is not related in any way to the past two years stupidity??? If so you must be utterly deluded.

Covid is done with, well, I'm sure you know what I mean. The money is gone. Keeping going on about it isn't going to change things. How it gets fixed is what needs talking about.

 

They've dicked us.

The current topic on here is intrinsically  linked to the lunacy of the past two years. Are we not supposed to acknowledge the damage that has been done and where it has led us. No point in crying about big companies and banks etc when many many people whom warned of the consequences  were utterly ignored. I know things can’t be changed the utter stupidity and waste we witnessed is indeed now historical but as stated our current situation is in a large part a direct result of that. If a few want to bury their heads in a bucket then crack on.

Glad we agree.

It’s staggering how one man can be so consistently wrong. Even a broken clock is right twice a day and he can’t even hit those odds.

Am I miles out, or are the Conservatives in so much of a muddle that it's leading them to feck up the country as to make it difficult for Labour to sort it out short term, a bit like Brown/Blair did?

Yome both off and on the mark at the same time E5ggeer. 
 

The Tories have presided over such a big pile of dog poo, but Labour are so lacking in credibility as to remain completely unelectable.
 

Even with (maybe even especially  because) weme in such a state of affairs, people will not trust Labour when times are hard. All a Labour government can ever do - as example shows us - is start off when things ain’t too bad and get kicked out by the time they’ve fooked it up. 
 

Imagine how that would end up if Labour got in when it was ‘bad’ and got kicked out when it was worse!

 

Whats the old saying? The only way [Labour] could end up with a £million was if they started out with 2!

We're faced with the greed of the Tories or the utter incompetence of Labour. What a bloody choice.

The French election this year was no better. 
The French where calling it, “a choice between Cholera or Typhoid”.

Has there ever been a worse group of politicians in office and in opposition in the UK?

I can’t think of any in my lifetime, what a shit state of affairs.

Think it's pretty much the world over at the moment, Australia just changed parties, new Zealand are fed up of the smiling Arden. Canada similar with Trudeau, Sweden might also switch party.

 

Might be something of a reflection on career politicians, all focus group policy and zero real world experience.
