Shows what can happen when you have an honest, open and fearless political leader. Congrats Vladimir on another outstanding success.

Hamstring.

I guess his payments from us are finishing / finished.

Champions League. World series of Baseball. NFL. In that order.

Especially those that haven't got a pot to piss in - 700m loss in six years, 124m last year.

Not long now and I've got a hunch that Vlad is going to win the Presidency once more! Turnout has been fantastic again with 67.54%, up on 2018's figure of 67.50%. Now wonder the turnout is so good with such dedicated citizens!

This is lunacy! He played 23 games before being transferred to Juve with a total of 1100 minutes - roughly 48 minutes per match. At Juve he's played 4 matches with a total of 175 minutes - roughly 44 mins per game. We've agreed a sell on price for him. If Juve stump up the cash he stays, if not he comes back, unless they agree another loan for next season.

You do know that Alcaraz doesn't decide his own fee don't you?

And yet, there it is. The second result on a Google search with the headline "interest only rates". If you're still unhappy, take it up with the advertiser for advertising something that doesn't exist

Oh dear. Maybe save your sanctimony for an occasion when you are actually right? Otherwise as Turkish pointed out, you look like a bellend.

@aintforever - can I borrow your crayons?

Lol. Sounds like a complete disaster already for a law that literally duplicates an existing one. I love the fact that not one single person in Police Scotland was available to discuss this with the BBC but they will definitely be investigating every single report!

Rumour has it that wooden spoon shops are sold out right across Wales.

What a horrendous website! Couldn't read the full article so not sure if the offence has to have happened whilst the perpetrator is in Scotland (would be difficult to prove on social media), or whether the complaint being made in Scotland is enough to trigger an investigation no matter where the perpetrator commited the "crime"???

Isn't that what I said earlier, that the financial markets were startled but settled down again after a couple of weeks once the lunatics had been wrestled from control of the asylum? Let's not over dramatise the point though as no one was "forced" to take a fixed term rate during those weeks and could easily have jumped on to an interest only rate until things settled.

It certainly sounds terrific. UK will be energy independent in 6 years including energy from waves (although I'm not sure that's going to happen in such a short space of time, they've been talking about a Severn barrage for over 20 years now and still haven't even come up with a design!).

I'm not really sure why you're now trying to mansplain this! It is something we all know. What that doesn't show is that people will vote Labour because they were too stupid to understand that their mortgage would go up, like you previously claimed. Good to see you're finally coming round to the notion that people will vote to express their dissatisfaction at a range of things. Eventually you might even get round to the really important issues like schools and public services.

The next Tory leader?

She's been on a world tour causing inflation and interest rises wherever she goes. Very powerful and influential is our lettuce Liz.

Yep, right-oh. I look forward to the inevitable name calling and laughing emojis!

Wow. Just wow. Spectacularly missing the point of macro economics whilst spectacularly overestimating Lettuce Liz's ability to influence anything. Whilst Kwasi's budget was an unfunded fuck up that certainly startled the financial institutions, within a couple of weeks of them being ousted the markets calmed down to where they were. For some reason you acknowledge that interest rate rises are world events, but then completely ignore : Russia's special military operation - causing oil prices to rise, gas shortages across Europe as the Russian market is cut off, massive price rises for energy across Europe for businesses and customers. Fuel price increases - causing the price at the pumps to rise and the cost of transporting goods to increase, whilst also having the added benefit of increasing the cost to make food and packaging raising the prices of literally everything in the shops. The BoE has a job to cut inflation - caused by fuel and energy cost increases - the only way to do that is take money out of the economy by raising interest rates. Liz Truss was, and still is, a complete blithering idiot, but she didn't cause a global recession and interest rates to rise - they had already been increasing steadily for a year before she became PM.

And yet you chose this as the primary reason

Indeed. But the current generation will (eventually) inherit our properties and the massive equity that has been built up over the years. Although I imagine the same people that currently can't afford their mortgages will be the same ones opting for the equity release schemes once the mortgage is paid and will doubtless be wondering where all the money went!

That's a whole different argument and relies on the lenders carrying out appropriate stress tests, being truthful and ultimately making sure their clients understand the implications. That's not the fault of the Government that stupid people can't plan for the future.
