Everyone's a loser.

OBR saying debt to GDP to hit 300% by 2070. Mainly due to the pensions triple lock.

I think it a roundabout way that's saying the pension system is going to change massively between the boomers and gen x.

Yeah I'm aware of it - anyway, I guess you're happy to concede the government did enough in terms of infrastructure in the last 13 years, which is a rare point to the Tories from you, so I suppose in an odd sort of way I'll take it (better than banging my head against a wall anyway).

So you admit that WhatsApp can be used securely for businesses/organisations after all. I’m glad we got there in the end.

Good for them. It’s a real terms pay cut.

It’s probably the number of kids he’s got so no surprise that he doesn’t know. 
 

Seriously though how on earth did this clown get into a position of authority in this country. It would be funny if his antics hadn’t have cost the country billions as well as an unknown number of deaths due to his parties incompetence. 

[steviewevie]

couldn't give a f**k about rail workers or teachers or nurses but hollywood actors' striking is a disaster.

[steviewevie]

this is how it should be done

I'd say "nice try," but it wasn't really. At least you've engaged in this debate a little longer than with the interest rate discussion, I respect that!

hollywood actors are going on strike! who cares?!

It's ok to admit you got it wrong, you don't have to resort to attacks.

Decent read on inflation and that raising interest rates might not be the best policy.

does it suggest withdrawing and destroying some of the quantitative easing money - as that would undo some of the damage caused by QE. and also have some of the same effect as increasing interest rates.

Can you explain how that's an attack? I just think it's strange you've replied so much on this topic, but not when we discussed interest rates. Maybe because you think there's still a chance you're in the right here I suppose, which is fair enough.

Do you have any experience in the area of WhatsApp being used in a business setting, out of interest?
