I suppose I'll be another 20 pages before it's realised that it's not a footy thread and gets moved.

Quoted from pen penfras


100%. It is the banks and capitalism that run the show. We are the problem in allowing it to happen, and people will just continue to spend every penny they have and more because that's what we're encouraged to do to keep the fallacy that is democracy going. We pay billions and lose out when the banks get it wrong. We pay billions into the bankers pockets when they get it right. No consequences for them and they just get richer and greedier.

People's attitude is a massive part of the problem. And the complexity of the financial system makes it so hard for normal people to understand what is going on, along with apathy, that I can't see how we possibly fix the system.

I'm not anti capitalism, I'm anti the banks having all the power. Governments should have the power to create and control money, but they don't, the banks do.


But which is the lesser of the 2 evils? Banks, for all their faults, totally understand the financial world but can manipulate things for their own benefit. Governments, of all political persuasions, come and go. Each successive government will have its own fiscal policy and its own approach to any global financial crisis. All political parties in the UK has had its fair share of corrupt MPs and ones whose sole intention was to " feather their own nests ".

You can't have a discussion about foreign players without mentioning the B word, because leaving the EU fundamentally changed everything and it is central to the issue.

Then the remoaner word gets used and that's like a red rag to a bull, so.....

Yeah some people find it hard to let go of the fact that 17m people voted to make the country poorer.

I don't think I was sold a pup. I fully expected a set back but unfortunately the pandemic and Ukraine has made things more difficult. I wanted out of the EU because I was frustrated with the UK's future and destiny being dictated by a biased political structure that was orientated towards the benefit of France and Germany. I don't regret voting out and I would do the same again if the opportunity arose again.

There are some on here who will slag you off, but honestly I wish I could have written that so well, because it’s exactly how I feel.
