    No Bojo fan, been slating him since forever, and many on here slating him now, used to defend him when I was doing it <laugh> I never thought he was very bright, he was always very well connected though #establismentTru&tru


    Starmer is a smarmy **** lying lawyer and Bojo is a run of the mill out of touch career blinkered blundering halfwit conservative.


    imo anyway

    There's no going back from it either.

    The whole of Britain will be so used to using Amazon after all the shops have been inexplicably forced to close that a good proportion will stay closed.

    You can go to the shops. But don't go and buy what you shouldn't buy.

    Have you heard the stupid old ****? How can anyone take that seriously?

    I'm no communist, and I am adverse to ideological socialism, but there is something inherently wrong with Bezos gaining that much wealth and power.

    I think his wife got 90 billion in a divorce? 90 ****ing billion for baby sitting. Now there are two Bezos essentially to hoover up the wealth <doh>

    and Bezos tentacles go much deeper than online retail. They are big into the information game too

    Yeah, it’s accelerating a process that was already well under way. The High Street was dying before Covid. It will be interesting to see what happens to Town Centres, and particularly to large Cities, now so many people have got used to both shopping and working from home.

    Amazon's gutted US brick and mortar stores, then it buys them up.

    Yeah, but the light-touch regulatory approach the US takes to urban planning won’t be acceptable in Europe. America has a history of allowing whole communities and cities to rot when the industries they once served, and that once served them, move on. When parts of the U.K., and of France, and Germany were stripped of their heavy industry, governments of every colour at least made some effort to attract new businesses to take their place.

    All over Europe too, industry was allowed walk to countries that offered slave'like labour driven operation and materials costs with little or no regulations in those places

    Amazon's online business is not a regulatory problem imo, it's an operational costs problem. How do we reduce the operational costs of brick and mortar stores? I dont know, that could be in part a regulatory problem

    The EU made the costs of operation and competing with corporations very difficult

    Seeing growing calls among eco zealots for the use of COVID measures to deal with the "climate crisis".

    Just wondering if anyone thinks that using these measures to change the weather, would be acceptable or a good idea?
    (I am not asking whether you believe in the climate crisis)

    Had 2 new cases at work this week. The solution, zap you with a heat gun on entry, and pile more people in.
