But its alright Richard, all the right people are making money. They'll impoverished everyone else, they couldn't care any less about the impact on normal people.
The Bank of England has raised interest rates to 4%, supposedly to tackle inflation. There is just one problem with this decision. The Bank knows that much of the inflation we are suffering is being driven by rising oil and energy prices, largely resulting from conflict in the Middle East. It also knows that raising interest rates cannot reduce those prices. So why is it doing this? The answer is that the Bank believes it must suppress demand elsewhere in the economy to compensate for rising energy costs. In other words, it is deliberately making mortgages more expensive, increasing business borrowing costs, discouraging investment and reducing household spending power. And all this when people are already struggling with higher energy bills. That is problem number one. There is, however, another problem. Higher interest rates increase costs for businesses, which can then feed through into higher prices. They can, in that case, add to inflation rather than reduce it. The Bank is imposing economic pain to address a problem its chosen policy cannot directly solve. That is not sound economic management. It is the consequence of an economic dogma that refuses to recognise the difference between inflation caused by excessive demand and inflation caused by supply shocks. When will we learn?

When are they going to ban fireworks on Scotland. Every pet will be terrified out their minds tonight. It's absolutely distressing to watch and cope with.

People shouldn't be celebrating the former IDF General Gadi Eizenkot forming the government, if anything he's worse than Netanyahu, or certainly has been in the past.
BREAKING: ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot has likely secured the first mandate to form a government, receiving 56 recommendations compared to Netanyahuโ€™s 46. The Arab party Raโ€™am has endorsed Eisenkot to form a government.

Think that's bad? You want to have heard the mad nonsense from Sturgeon about saving the date and get ready for independence.....all whilst her husband was fleecing @theSNP members and showering her with gifts.
NEW: Nicola Sturgeon has revealed a 'mad' conversation she had with US president Donald Trump while she was Scotland's first minister ๐Ÿ‘€

๐Ÿค” Haven't I heard this numerous times before? It would take approximately 25 years to fully extract the recoverable oil from the Rosebank field alone. So, jog on with this bollocks

Without going into how spending is allocated and validity of figures. Population sparsity and economies of scale for procurement of goods and services. It will probably level itself out given time owing to the Barnett Squeeze.

Most people didn't read the White Paper in 2014, the politicians danced on the heads of pins over every detail and some just set out to confuse. A dozen bullet points outlining the basics would suffice. Along with credible guarantees to deliver them.

She more than played her part in ensuring that continued throughout her residency in office. Handed independence on a plate and did the square root of nothing to achieve it, however, found the time to totally sabotage it. Stay in London Nicola, you deserve each other!

Oh I cannot wait for the replies to this one. On one hand we have the UK Government telling us how Scotland will save the economy, the next you have frothing, rabid, house Jocks telling us how idiotic and incompetent, how small, how poor, how utterly useless the country is ๐Ÿคฃ

Endless streams of English MPs and English commentators, talking about Scotlands resources. The very same ppl whoโ€™ve been relentlessly telling us that Scotland is too poor to be independent, for years.

Nats will use this to argue that Scotland's No vote in 2014 was based on lies, but they overlook the incontrovertible fact that there would simply be no energy in an independent Scotland. No electricity, no gas, no petrol, no diesel, not even peat. Nothing.

It was Labour who decided to squander it by giving tax breaks to English companies with Scotlands money. Thatcher continued on with this folly from 1979 onwards.
The UK should have set up a North Sea sovereign wealth fund 40 years ago, the Prime Minister has conceded โฌ‡๏ธ
