Why the Bank of England base rate should be no more than the rate of inflation www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02... There's no excuse for the Bank of England to continue with interest rates as high as they are.

Because some damn fool asked, here's a thread about Baxter.
This was taken on the day I brought home Baxter and threw away all hope of an easy life.
Look at him. Absolutely irresistible.
And that's how they get you, the utter bastards

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example).
1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company.
2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly.

So this is the BBC blaming Nurses for the economy.
Nurses who have lost 20-30% of their pay in ten years.
Nothing to do with greedy CEOs and record private profits?
Nothing to do with government incompetence?
No. Blame the nurses. Seriously BBC?!?!
How dare you!

Why do 70,000 'farmers' think they should own 90% of the UK forever and never pay tax.
While the other 68,930,000 have the other 10% to share and must pay tax.
The ultimate elitist BS.
