  1. Probably all a necessary process for May. My Tory contacts have been saying that a very willing purge is going on. May will face a vote of no confidence but the numbers won't be there to actually depose her. The end result being Tory backbench rebels are left with no choice but to accept May's deal. This Tory collision has been brewing for a couple of months and must meet its end, at least in producing a workable result.

    Surely the whole point is to normalise coming forward? To remove the fear and shame abuse victims feel that makes them try to bury it. If people are coming forward because of the protests and social movement then is that not evidence that it is in fact starting to normalise things?
  3. Because the club was for sale I think. He thought us staying up would get him £400m, he was wrong. Takeover has gone dead. Third attempt to sell the club, third failure. No urgency to sell the club, happy to sit on it and wait, that is what rich people do with assets, cashing in is neither here nor there to them unless they think someone is paying them over the odds.
  4. They put season tickets down 10% when we went down and froze prices for the first year back up. They've just increased season ticket prices 20%. You could say fair enough if they went back up 10%, but 20% is taking an extra 10% at a time that tv revenue is at an all time high and probably millions more than the year we went down because we missed the first £100m minimum year by getting relegated.
  5. Early polls are showing about 75% have voted against the proposed change. The government and the banks were against it and led your classic fear campaign that status quo supporters always do.
  6. I think that is a pretty good explanation. When people panic and you get bank runs with everyone trying to withdraw their money at once like at northern rock the bank goes bust setting contagion across other banks. The proposals would mean the Swiss central bank would be the only power capable of creating money, rather than private profit seeking banks who tend to use it to drive speculative assets (property, shares) which gives them faster and bigger banker bonuses. Investing in industry and the productive economy has a really slow rate of return, a higher risk and a lower reward, which is why banks do so little of it. But the swiss vote is not so much about that, it is more about protection from the speculative bankers that brought the world to its knees through the interconnectivity of all electronic money. It is a combination of keeping ordinary folks money safe and altering the behaviour of the banking system.
  7. Economics was part of my degree as well and this wasn't covered. 97% of the population and almost all politicians did not know where money came from around 5 years ago. How many do now probably depends on who follows the field, I bet plenty of MP's don't. The Vollgeld Initiative the Swiss are voting on will end private banks ability to loan money out that isn't 100% backed by depositers who willingly provided their money to be loaned out, aka savers. At the moment when you deposit £100 into your bank account the bank only has to keep a fraction of this in reserve for when you ask for it back. The rest they can loan out to someone else. They don't move money directly but for hypothetical scenario lets say they do. Let's say they take £90 of your £100 to give to Mr A to buy a house. Mr A transfers that money to Mr B in exchange for the house. Mr B now has £90 in his bank account. You still have £100 in your bank account. Money is created out of nothing. Mr B's bank then lends £81 of his £90 to Mrs C to buy a car. Mrs C transfers that £81 to Mr D to buy the car. Mr D has £81, Mr B has £90 and you have £100. None of this is real money. It's a giant ponzi scheme. When a bank makes so many bad loans that they become insolvent the whole system is at risk of collapse. Until eventually a bank is "bailed out" by more debt, kicking the can down the road to prevent complete social collapse.
  8. I know posters in this part of the forum prefer to post as if they are intelligentsia versions of The Sun so this news might not matter to anyone, but tomorrow the Swiss vote in a referendum on ending fractural reserve banking and potentially setting in motion a dramatic change of the economic world as we know it by nationalising credit creation.
  9. I like seeing clips of his passion and smile, keeps the fond memories of him.

    That's incredible, they still make iPod's?!?
  13. It was all fun and games until the luftwaffe chased you into the underground.
  14. Trump is like a bloke who was made to go on a diversity course and resented every second of it.
  15. It might have been because I was near the back, it just felt like there was 7000 Newcastle fans not 3500.
  16. Leicester's ground has great acoustics. An expansion would threaten that so keep it to one stand please
  17. In Britain when you take a shit in the toilet it makes its way to a sewage treatment plant where it goes through a complex process to be turned into fertilizer. When you are in the countryside and can smell poo it is not cows, it is actually human poo that has been spread on crops. Enjoy your sunday lunch veg guys.
  18. The last part of that can't be right. England were playing Scotland in football and rugby well before that.
