Where is this spare capacity? I am not saying there isn't any, but I would like to understand how you can confidently say we are nowhere near it.

Harrier II is still in use with the US Marines, and Spanish and Italian Navies. The US had Hawker Siddeley Harriers at first, and I recall them being seen there as a British fighter jet. The McDonnell Douglas ones were an improved model that was co-developed with British Aerospace, which no...

But how is that curry progressing?

What are you asking for if it isn't continued deficit spending?

Because when the rest of the world loses faith in our currency, it will be worthless.

This cut isn't the whole package, tax rises will be coming. I don't like the system, but unless you want to go North Korea route, you can't just ignore how the rest of the world views money.

There were gangmaster problems.

I really dont want to do this all again. But, you said a Government can never run out, as it can just create more, its quite key to your point of not needing to cut winter fuel payments.

I read a comment a few years ago on a news story about racism towards Polish people in Wisbech. It said "To be fair, there is a big cultural difference between the locals and the Poles, in that the Poles want to work."

MMT's description of an economy like the UK, is like me describing me performing a press up as pushing the planet Earth away. It can look as though that is what is happening, relative to me, but it has no practical purpose to look at it that way, as me doing press ups doesnt move the planet...

He has lots of ability, but he is low on football intelligence, he can be good in a limited role.

Reasoned attempts have been made before, but you won't accept that your theory breaks down when you try to do some of the things it predicts are possible. The connection is economics that don't work.

Please f*** off with your magic money theory, lettuce lady economics.

Maybe the halfway is that everyone on Pension credit gets it, and every oap that isn't a higher rate tax payer can apply for it, and get it without being means tested?

You won't see icicles, but thousands of old people do die every year in the UK from hypothermia, that is as things are. We might get lucky and have a mild winter, it will still kill some older people though.

I don't think anyone wants to see anyone struggle to keep warm this winter, or worry about debt, clearly there are a large number of oaps that don't need the extra payments, and I think it's fair to stop the payments to them, I think most agree on that point. The argument is over how to ensure...

I would be happier if there were a clearer cut way of making sure those that needed it got it, but there will always be some that just miss out. The charity does have another interest though, in that a large number of pensioners that felt that they didn't need the extra money, donated it to...

But there had to be some pay award, at some level.

I found this from 21/22, not sure I agree with the criteria, but had us 28th back then, I think, I can't enlarge on my phone.

That is annoying, but I think I would probably have done the same, I just wouldn't admit it to a journalist.
