    So they get a generous 3m quid allowance, half the rate of IHT and 10 years interest free credit to pay the bill. Still not happy, then gift it. FFS - You guys voted Brexit on mass, share the pain with the rest of us will you?

    The US has done incredibly well, but as a nation money hasn't brought them happiness. Too much wealth tied up in too few, a lesson for us all.

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    Trump would like a deal with the UK but on his terms and we'd get screwed. The only way I can see Labour shifting is if the LD's move position (quite possible), Labour lose loads in the next election and are forced into coalition and get bounced into something.

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    We're kidding ourselves getting anything out of a trade deal with the US, they want to go after our healthcare system and flood our market with poor quality agri products. In an increasingly protectionist world trading with near neighbour makes economic and environmental sense

    Had an account for years but never posted anything, purely to observe and share stuff (usually on here) But despite never liking, re-posting or commenting I find my feed full of shit from right wing loons. Its turned into a propaganda tool Deleted the app last night.

    Its like every loon that has done Trump a favour needs to be rewarded. Somehow the era of Bush and Rumsfeld wasn't so bad after all.
