I just saved money by buying a SE Big Ripper 29er BMX. It was £700 and is on sale for £350 so I've saved money! That's how it works, right?  |

There's some scary stuff out there. Iv'e heard of a secondary school's estimated leccy/gas bills rising from £60K pa to over £200K and a cafe's to exceed rent. On my manor, 3 pre schools in a small radius all closed this summer (one making my Mrs redundant). They often get used for childcare, so you wonder how far those ripples will run - staff unemployed and parents needing to readjust. High Sts are struggling as it is.

Yet non domestic fuel still has VAT of 20%. Treasury are raking it in. Is it a Tory plan to take businesses to the edge then 'save' them by reducing VAT?
The amount of stress owners & staff of cafes/restaurants etc must be going through, after covid.
Hope Mrs Eddie can find another job soon.

This is all looking very much like the great reset.

Our Leaders should be looking to find a peaceful way out of this mess, not continually sending billions to Ukraine to fight an endless war.

I guess that's why Johnson likes him so much.

Nordstream 1 to remain closed. Putin is already waging war on Europe without firing a gun. We invaded Iraq for less.
A recent tabloid report claimed that electric cars will now cost more per mile to run than diesel or petrol vehicles.
Looks like my month in Thailand this winter will pay for itself with the money I'll save not heating my gaff.

My mate is in Cambodia and it's cheap as fuck. He sold his house and is now bumming around SE Asia for the moment. Possibly literally on the bumming as he put Tinder on his phone and most of his matches are ladyboys.

This is all looking very much like the great reset. The Great Reset. What do you mean by that? I've heard a few people mention it, but no detail. Googling returns different meanings. |

It's basically the WEF comprising World leaders and various billionaires deciding how to control the World post-COVID19..."you will own nothing and be happy" |

The great reset is basically a move away from the public ownership of assets and nationalism and towards you owning nothing and globalism. Covid, crazy eco farming laws and now 'the current thing' are going to fuck small business, put small farms out of business and then have everything bought by cunts like Bill Gates. Just read up about Bill Gates recent land purchases. Today's conspiracy theory is tomorrow's history. Most people don't seem have ever heard of the World Economic Forum even though they seem to be telling governments what to do and a number of them like Trudeau who came up through The Forum of Young Global Leaders are now in charge of countries. It's literally like a Bond plot but nobody seems to give a fuck.  |

Seems like it's already happening for a small chain of coffee shops in my area. Family owned, expanded to 3 shops, now ALL to shut indefinitely due to mental running costs that can't be recouped without a £10 cup of coffee. Expect more of this whilst only having Nero, Costa and Starbucks left. Starbuck' 2021 revenue was nearly $30bn. They can take a hit. Costa is owned by Coke. Same. Wave that blue and yellow flag, get those jabs. Remember a time when Costa medium latte was about..... www.ucc-coffee.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/16725-UCC-Price-Watch_Jan.pdf |

All these multinational companies who dont pay their tax (or even if they do) dont get my custom. Unfortunately, many dimwits in the UK go there. "get those jabs"  ?? Dont tell me, you think the vaccine was a mind bending drug to force people into going to Starbucks, and has coding in it to track those do and dont. |
