I think China will support Putin. How far they go with their support remains to be seen. There's little doubt they are set on building an alliance to challenge the USA hegemony.

Forgive me, I think I mistook you for another user. Kind of "Don't Look Up" isn't it. Boiling frogs and all that. Do you do much on Twitter?

I don't think we'll agree on too much but I agree with you on your point about choice. The political system in the UK and the West in general has been utterly corrupted. In the UK there is no choice at all. You can choose between neoliberal or neoliberal. Starmer is in place to make sure that...

China has decided to pursue mercantile policies and has 'pegged' it's currency to $. The Chinese government holds around 1 trillion in us treasuries so they won't be short of dollars any time soon. Also, as the article says, China has a near monopoly on rare earth metals. USA currently gets 80%...

Lol. Don't bother reading the article.

RUSI crunching the numbers: . 'The winner in a prolonged war between two near-peer powers is still based on which side has the strongest industrial base. A country must either have the manufacturing capacity to build massive quantities of ammunition or have other manufacturing industries that...

There is zero satisfactory evidence the rate hikes do what BoE thinks they do. The idea that the UK needs to raise revenue before it can spend is just nonsensical, it's way past time that idea was buried at sea.

Truss will do exactly as she's told, won't she? It will be very interesting to see the actual detail of her 'tax cuts'. Who will be the beneficiaries, how will the cuts be offset etc.? Growth (I assume you mean increase in GDP, whichever approach you use to measure it) doesn't depend on inward...

Unicycle.

Well, as I said, I've used that device and I can't find any more info than I've posted previously. Seems like you can't either. I reckon you've made it up.

It wasn't booing, it was singing. but, anyway, I'd like to find out more about how the singers were 'shut down'. So far all I've been able to find is a 9 second video of the singing and outraged headlines after the event. Can you provide any more information?

Who 'shut them down'?

Who is Phil?

Revealing article by John Burn-Murdoch in the FT: . "When it comes to average household incomes, the UK may soon need to ask migrant labourers to take a pay cut." . "Far from simply losing touch with their western European peers, last year the lowest-earning bracket of British households had...

Lol, good one

They wrapped themselves in the flag, blamed 'others' for any and all the problems people were experiencing and convinced many people if only they voted a certain way all these problems could be resolved. In reality it was only ever about one thing - deregulation. You only have to look at those...

Gramsci called it Cultural Hegemony. The idea that those ruled by the dominant group (us) believe that the economic and social conditions of their society are natural and inevitable, rather than created by people with a vested interest in particular social, economic, and political orders. Our...

I think that's highly unlikely. If the narrative in Russia is as tightly controlled as it is in the UK then there's little chance of any negative messaging getting through on a large enough scale to make any difference.

As you can probably tell, I know nothing about the arms industry. I saw the response to the question and drew the wrong conclusion. Every day is a school day. Thanks for clarifying

Right, so you are saying the £1bn he's talking about won't be spent on weapons going to Ukraine. Rather, someone, somewhere, will determine what £1bn of existing is (in terms of what UKR want) and take that from UK forces? So, until suppliers can replenish those 'donations', UK armed forces are...
