Boris Johnson must resign

by LoveUniHateExams in

on may 20, 2020, boris johnson's private secretary sent out an e-mail to 100 staff asking them to enjoy the sunshine in the downing street garden, adding they could bring their own bottle.. at the time the uk was under a harsh covid lockdown - people could meet up with up to six members of their own household, and only with one person from another household, socially-distanced of course.

the prime minister attended this party for 25 minutes but his excuse yesterday at pmqs was that he thought it was a work event.

as excuses go, this one is right up there with 'the dog ate my homework', lol.. boris johnson must resign - if you force harsh rules on people but break those same rules yourself, it's surely game over.. his private secretary should go, too..

Do you have 24 hour Grocery Stores nearby?

We used to have them. All the major grocers were open 24/7 (though closed for major holidays). No more is that the case. Covid is blamed for the reduced hours, including the fact that they cannot hire enough employees to cover all of those extended shifts. Most are now open 7 days/week but only from 7am-9pm.

I was under the impression that language has appeared in the Watchtower that states Jehovah's Witnesses should treat those who intentionally stop associating (i.e. go to meetings, etc.) as those who disassociate themselves ~ TruthBKnown

Guess the new Silver Sword Bible cut out Jesus' words about saving one sheep. Or they are all just so busy reaching out to new candidates.

“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance." Luke 15:4-7

Are You Concerned About Inflation?

by Simon in

i saw a statistic the other day that something like 25% of all the debt that the us has incurred since 1776 was created in the last 12 months.

that's because they have printed so much currency and instead of letting that stop them, they are going to continue printing more to go on a spending spree on crazy green-new-deal schemes and union handouts.. does anyone think that this can be anything other than inflationary?

they are effectively stealing the wealth of everyone to then hand money out to people.

I'm old and not so worried that I will go hungry. Though that could change if commodities are simply not available and store shelves are empty. Then no amount of money is enough.

But I worry so for my (middle-age kids) and my grandchildren. We have worked hard to be frugal and try to leave a nest egg for them for college and first homes, etc. But in 10 years at 15% inflation what will a million dollars be worth? Maybe good for buying a new car?

The tax and spend philosophy of the "left" has got to stop. I would think at some point the sane and rational liberals would awaken (not to be confused with being "woke") and see the upcoming train wreck. I fear even more that the GOP/conservatives have gravitated to "cut taxes & spend". It's the crazy spending frenzy that has to stop.

There ain't no free lunch. People have got to EARN what they get. The gimme more and more and more cannot continue. But I think most of the freeloaders don't really care that what they are receiving must be paid for by someone else. Thus these are come know as "entitlements".

"Armageddon" may not be that far off after all.
