Apart from Italian, Greek and Spanish bonds blowing out Euro f**ked Energy crisis about to lead to rationing and blackouts Food crisis about to kick in Rampant inflation but can only raise interest rates to 0% meaning it will get worst Germany the only solvent country about to go into recession and crippled due to energy reliance on Russia ETC Very good summary. Including Boris 4 EU leaders have had the chop. Particularly amused by Germany imposed sanctions on Russia which backfired spectacularly. Putin has told them they will get 20% of the Gas they were going to get before the sanctions. 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint86 Posted 26 July, 2022 Share Posted 26 July, 2022 (edited) 50 minutes ago, The Left Back said: In an attempt to keep this thread football related... It's obvious Rishi's a Saints fan - he's going to finish runner up rather than champion. He's wangled his way into one of the most expensive schools in the country and ended up marrying into a billionaire's family. This is more Man City than Saints (other than perhaps the Marcus rescue period) so I think a bit of envy and bitterness is to be expected. My issue with him having a position of power is that he's too detached from the reality facing the people he's serving. Which is one of the issues I have with club owners' ability to do act in the best interest of fans. They just don't get it. Finally he's a tory, which in my mind makes him like Liverpool. No matter what they do I can't help remembering how they were in the 80s and hating them for it. I don't know much about either of their politics. But he's a Southampton boy and comes from a solid family background that valued education, hard work, and sacrifice as tools to get ahead in life. That's enough for me. Agree though, the Southampton way is to come runner up 🤣 Edited 26 July, 2022 by Saint86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Mum was ran a Chemist's and his Dad a GP in Southampton. Grew up here, went to Uni here, what's not to like. OK, schooled at Winchester but good on his parents for scrimping to give him the chance. I paid more tax under that goon than I ever have before. Thats whats not to like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting how politicians lean on football to try and seem more relatable, like David Cameron supporting Aston Villa, or was it West Ham! Would love to know which Curry house he waited in, the dizzy heights of Coriander Lounge or Kutis, or is he a Manzils fan... It was Kuti's. His father is a friend of the owner who has known them since Rishi was born. When he was older Rishi used to help out with the waiting although to be fair he didn't do it for money but because he liked to meet people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to be hurting us more and just revealing how reliant many countries are on Russian energy, particularly Germany, this coming winter could be about to get much worse. Back to Sunak, I'm not sure he'll win and to be honest it's not a great time to become PM, economic turmoil caused by factors mainly out of our control going to be a tough job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once got a caution for selling knock off defective johnnies to the students, and was involved in that dust up at Charlton station a few years back. Very slick persona and only 5ft 2 but hard as nails - used to go by the name Slasher Sunak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petermcpete Posted 26 July, 2022 Share Posted 26 July, 2022 On topic, don't care for Rishi but maybe if he got in we might see some more funds allocated to regenerating Soton. Apart from that can't see how it'd affect us at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
