Apparently ‘our’ chancellor’s family is SO rich they knock Mrs Queen off the top slot!

Obviously the right man to be telling impoverished fellow-citizens how to handle their pennies.

mozz, point been trying to make over and over, got bored and fell off to sleep

[Mozz71]

Yeah, I know that feeling. That's AB in a nutshell for me at the moment Emms.

[emmie]

well one can only plod on mozz, sometimes it an uphill battle

[Mozz71]

Well, there is another option, and that's one I'm seriously considering.

[emmie]

what would that be, not take part at all, perhaps as danny says leave well alone.

[Mozz71]

Yup. Read the thread, shake my head at the lunacy and move on. Quite frankly, trying to talk sense to some of the contributors here is like talking to a brick wall.

Emmie //as danny says leave well alone.//
Only applies to the blinkered, one trick pony posters of the red brigade.Thankfully there are only a half dozen of them.

[emmie]

danny as i said you could be right

[Mozz71]

//Only applies to the blinkered, one trick pony posters of the red brigade.//

There's a fair few of them on the blue side too Danny, but you're not wrong that the most idiotic are labourites.

[emmie]

not sure allen is a Labourite, but is an out and out socialist.

[Mozz71]

Allen's not the only one. He is, at least, capable of discussing issues, unlike some others we could name.

[emmie]

his posts is full to brimming with inaccuries, as often or not

[emmie]

this one included if you read the heading.

[allenlondon]

Oh sorry emmie, correct me about Croesus, then...

[Mozz71]

Yeah, everyone twists things to suit their own agendas. Par for the course.

[allenlondon]

Still not sure about how I’m twisting Croesus by putting Sunak’s mob in with him?

[Mozz71]

*sigh*

No Allen, the part of your comment that's pathetic is...

//Obviously the right man to be telling impoverished fellow-citizens how to handle their pennies.//

How do you know if Sunak has ever had to deal with having to scrimp and save before he married into wealth. You don't, you're just assuming that he's always been wealthy. You may be right, but you don't know.

Rishi Sunak's parents were East African asians and came to the UK with their parents in the 1960s, father was a GP and mother was a pharmacist. Sunak went to Stanford University under the Fulbright Scholarship scheme (so was there on merit). whilst that background meant he probably never had to scrimp, the serious wealth alluded to came via marriage. His FiL, N. R. Narayana Murthy, wasn't born into fortune either, but came by it through his own effort as co-founder and CEO of Infosys.

[gulliver1]

I Personally don't give a fig, how much money the Sunak family have got . What I object to is Boris milking the public purse to award contracts etc to the
Cronie Con Club.

Returning to Labour "wrecking the economy". That is not true. Gordon Brown saved the finances, economy, businesses and jobs in this country by the action that he took in the wake of the collapse of the sub-prime market in the USA. He protected your money, your jobs and your banks. The actions he took received great praise from other world leaders because he was one of the first leaders to react and save his country from total collapse. Protecting the first £30,000 of your savings was introduced by Labour, now increased by the Tories. Gordon Brown and Labour saved this country economically in the only way possible. The Tories would have done the same, without a doubt. They didn't hesitate to splash the cash this year did they? Wot? That's different? Splashing the cash? yeah right. Otherwise everything's fine thanks. Oh yes, and I've still got the facemask that somebody gave me back in March. They do last longer when you don't use them though I suppose.
