Theres no one fact as to who started GFC and is still widely debated. Sub prime lending, Lehmans, packaged CDOs, incompetent ratings agencies.

America were the ones to lead the West out of it. Youre saying that the U.K. did? No chance, sorry. Brown had little choice but to nationalise the banks.

Sorry but there?s no facts in your hypothesis just opinion.

As for debt itll be much lower than it is. So one fact.


Just read further down the thread you two continuing your tete a tete. Some bits of both I agree with tbh. US caused GFC, US solved GFC, U.K. then and still now suffers from Browns gold sell off: estimates still to be 40% down on NAV. Labour did spend but had a booming economy which paid for debt. If a week is a long time ago in politics this is history though!

Lots of snipes and sneers from both.

Agree. Probably the best domestic centre back pairing I've ever seen. Hanson should have played far more for Scotland than he did. Don't know why he didn't. Asbsolutely fabulous centre half. Whilst Lawrenson was perhaps the only English / Irish player who was good enough to have played for England rather than opting for Ireland. However I did go off Lawrenson when I believe he spouted some ignorant testicles about us.

I think the away form will more or less dictate where we finish next season. If we can ensure we stay tight defensively we will pick up a decent amount of points. Coincidentally I think the home record will be spot on and a few sides will be on the wrong side of a hiding.

Me too,I just hope some of our fans don?t into meltdown if we dont

Farage certainly has a loose relationship with democracy.

Who voted him leader of Reform? Or it's earlier incarnation the Brexit party? And has he at any point condemned the Trump inspired Jan sixth terrorist coup?

Definitely not on the plethora of platforms he's shared with US racists and conspiracy theorists.

Then maybe hatred is too strong a word. Ignorant xenophobia is probably nearer. Wonder how many of his followers could narrate his health plans? The majority of whom are sixty-plus needing free and unlimited NHS access the most, of course. His plans to slash taxes for millionaires like himself? In fact any other policy than vilifying non straight white minorities?

Spot on that anyone with any grasp of history realises demagogues like him always target the less well educated with populism, though. Easy answers to complex problems. 'Othering' whichever section of society proves convenient.

Hell, the Nazis literally gave beer and bread to the poor to garner support.

But as said the great irony of this election is his vanity guaranteeing Labour a huge majority. Perhaps it's SKS who should give him the knighthood Johnson reneged upon...
