  1. Probably because most people who complain didn't watched it live, but heard about it through social media.

    Exit poll suggests that Putin got 88% of the vote. Fuckin joke of a country. I wonder if there was ever a real election with that score.
  5. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/03/16/victoria-albert-museum-margaret-thatcher-exhibition/ The Telegraph snowflakes.
  6. Aintforever didn't say solely, I did. Which I admit was an exaggeration. Yes interest rates were affected by energy ect, I consider myself school by the Saintsweb brains. But it's estimated she caused 2% increase to mortgages, which is massive. When you think about it as the rate was rising, it makes her moves even worse. People who had head room to cope with the world wise rises were squeezed even more, possibly to breaking point, for no reason other than her mad experiment. Even more reason to not vote for the Tories.
  7. I will be when Starmer launches GB Energy, just waiting to sign up 🚩
  8. Proving your point is to a bit of a leap. What are they going to blame themselves for, they don't control the interest rates. People will just tighten their belts and if it gets too much they will sell up. Over stretching yourself isn't this big life no no, for most people it works out ok. You've made your life choices and they've worked for you, you've prioritised other spending over house spending. Others have chosen to do things to the other way around and are entitled to be disgruntled if some loony makes the waters a bit more choppy for political experimentation.
  9. I couldn't really afford the first flat I bought but it was still the best thing I did, housing wise. People get the mortgages that lenders are willing to lend and what they can afford to pay at the time just to get on the ladder or buy the bigger house they need. It's how it's always been, then you hope for the best. Maybe older people with a lot of equity forget how it was. Most people can handle an interest rate rise, by tightening their belts or not going on holiday, it doesn't stop them being pissed off by it.
  10. But people don't make reasonable judgements when they come to vote, people voted for Brexit because their council is shit, for John Major because Kinnock had ginger hair. Someone sees their mortgage go up by £750 because of Truss, they're going to think fuck the Tories, they are not going to stop and think 'well you know what those Tories aren't a bad bunch really, afterall we weren't prudent enough and didn't stress test our finances, I'm going to jolly well vote for them and not be so silly in the future'.
  11. Yes but a massive mortgage wasn't the pertinent point, that point was that every month more people will become pissed off with the tories. On your point, people are forced to be a bit stupid if you want to buy a nice house.
  12. Mate the markets went loopy over night after Trusses mini budget. You know the thing that caused the Tory party to make her the shortest serving PM ever.
