@adriant91901209 Just because people are complaining doesn’t mean they are right.

@BriaMo777 It’s the end of the world as we know it by REM.

@MissLauraMarcus Roast Beef flavoured crisps are clearly right wing.

@MarkTodd_pol The average rate of inflation in the uk in the 1970s was 12.6% in 1975 it was over 24%.

@adriant91901209 The proverbial roof is not leaking. No point wasting money on getting someone to check it when you already know the answer.

[Donald @DrudgeSquad]

@adriant91901209 I like that reality. Live within your means that goes for people and countries. If you haven’t got the money, you will have to go without.

[Donald @DrudgeSquad]

@adriant91901209 Yes there would be a lot of debt to clear, no magic money tree for fantasy energy grids or high speed rail lines. Just reality.

@rdgchronicle I have a suspicion that they were Reading’s Mayor and Deputy Mayor.

[Donald @DrudgeSquad]

@EmmaLewell Why doesn’t the government build a high speed line between London and Birmingham? What could go wrong?

[Donald @DrudgeSquad]

@adriant91901209 I would tell them that I live in the real world. Where things have to be paid for? Where national debts have spiralled out of control, where fraud and abuse of tax system and benefits is rife. Those are the structural problems that need to be fixed.

@JuliaHB1 The question is what would the EU want in return? Billions in contributions? Insist we sign up for the Euro? Join the Schengen Agreement?

[Donald @DrudgeSquad]

@adriant91901209 Future generations will ask why the debt burden has bankrupted the nation. The economy has collapsed, the answer will be tax and spend. In 2050 there may be cheap energy, Although by then the energy grid will need to be renewed. Spare a penny guv.

@andrew_lilico Before privatisation there was no monitoring, the seas around the uk were full of human waste. No one knew, no one cared. Same with leaks.

[Donald @DrudgeSquad]

@adriant91901209 Taking money out of people’s pockets generally has a detrimental effect on the economy. What about the people who cannot afford streaming services? Promise them that in 20 years their energy bills will drop?

@thecitydefender Manchester City cheated. What were you expecting?

[Donald @DrudgeSquad]

@adriant91901209 The Danes in 1973 were in a different situation to the uk in 2026. The comparison does not wash. Who will cough up more cash? How much more cash? Do you want to balance the budget? That will be £200+ billion a year, what rate of income tax will that be?

[Donald @DrudgeSquad]

@timmychoc @glennebrey Just some more than others.

[Donald @DrudgeSquad]

@JohnCleese My money is on John in an open debate. He knows a dead parrot when he sees one.

[Donald @DrudgeSquad]

@adriant91901209 How do you pay for it! To upgrade the grid will cost between £100 and £240 billion by 2050, to meet net zero.The government is currently borrowing £200 billion to £235 billion a year. There is not enough money left, gilt yields are rocketing.

[Donald @DrudgeSquad]

@adriant91901209 The National Grid is a private company, you want to go the Thames Water route? I am sure the shareholders will be in favour of that. You may have got obligation and promise confused.
