Rupert Lowe

[hypochondriac]

Still not sure how any saints fan of a certain age could like anything about swing Lowe.

[USaintA]

I've been out of the country since 2019 and I lately try and avoid politics now as much as I can. Has it really gotten this bad that Rupert fucking Lowe is being heralded by some as Prime Minister material?

Yes , unfortunately people can't factor in end of empire , broke after WW2 , gradual loss of influence on world stage , lack of industry after exporting it to far east and the final nail , to Putin's and Trump's delight , Brexit to destabilise Europe and reduce GB to a 21st Century irrelevance . Wouldn't live anywhere else though 😄

That is more to do with developed country birth rate dropping like a stone so to maintain the growth economic model you absolutely need to import labour . Ties of empire also a big factor . This will be taken care of after Brexit as we will have a points system and only let in the skilled people we need .

Hated him for us. 
 

But he’s the only politician that’s doing anything useful. 
 

Funding the rape gang inquiry with his own money, gives loads to charity, fights for tax payers over scroungers. 
 

Genuinely the best option by far

Must admit I'm warming to him more and more 🤣

People left his rape gang enquiry in protest. The only reason he funded it was political point scoring. He is independently wealthy (in no small part because he fucked over our club) and so again, gives his mp salary to charity so he can score political points against less wealthy mps who can't afford to do so. Your last point makes no sense.

The current establishment hates our own people and actively covers up crimes in order to virtue signal. 
 

The last point is the major reason why the country is in terminal decline. 
 

Our benefits bill exceeds our income.

To be fair, plenty of them could afford to do what old gammon cheeks does with their MP salary. Instead, they chose not to AND rip off the public purse (Raynor, for example).

Anyway, Rupert is C**T

Afraid so. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Yes, it is possible to link Lowe's reverse takeover, world class radio station, getting a bigger stadium and great catering to future "interestingly leveraged" takeovers, the rise of social media, and pushing for improved fan experiences respectively .

That's not even mentioning getting in the best from other areas to...

hey! what's all this politics stuff here for?!

UK government national debt 1975-2026: (£billion):

1980
£114 billion 

1985
£169 billion 

1990
£190 billion 

1995

2021
£2,224 billion

2023
£2,619 billion 

2026
£2,900 billion 

An increase of almost £2.5 trillion in just 20 years. A tale of gross economic incompetence by successive UK governments to a point where interest payments on the national debt are now over £100 billion a year - funded by the taxpayer.

 

Rupert Lowe is the only one that both recognises that this is the cause; and has a coherent idea of how to turn it around. 
 

Will he succeed? Probably not. But at least he will move things in the right direction. Every other party will move us further toward terminal decline imo.

It didn't help, but Major's government doubled the debt between 90 and 95 in their attempts to deal with the recession and recovery, then Brown's put 50% on between 2008 and 2010 for similar reasons. It's been downhill from there for a variety of reasons, but Christ knows why anyone would think Lowe is the answer.

I don't think so ,   like Trump he thinks he can just pay for his policies by taking on debt.  He is not the the answer , like Farage he promises unsustainable answers .  As I said before UK is on a continuing downward economic slope since WW2 . Brexit is another nail in the coffin . Starmer is hamstrung by our economic predicament as was the previous Govt although that was thanks to Boris. 

As an individual if you get into debt etc it is a long hard slog to get straight again . I am fortunate to be be born in 1954 so have no mortgage,  a proper company pension etc but I feel for youngsters these days , I don't think I would survive their predicament.

Indeed. I'm struggling to understand why anyone thinks that a bloke who wants to form a government based on borrowing is the solution to a government borrowing crisis.

Could we just put Lowe in charge, and sell the UK to Elon? Since Trump likes golf and his heritage, Scotland could be sold off to him, to give spending capital when the debt is clear.

I'm sure we'd all get used to government being run from Elondon in Muskland, and look north to Trumpton.
