You always assume these folk will be clever about it and use burners to make it difficult to be traced and then they don't. I'm sure that Brian Spanner account nearly got compromised a while ago and spent a few days making grovelling apologies for all the horrendously sexist things they'd been saying about female political figures before normal service resumed. I'd completely forgotten about Spanner. Tbf back in the day I preferred his pure hatred to the little weasely hangers on like twlldun, ern malley and, of course, jk Rowling 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Austrian heir to the throne turning up on the Serbs' National Day was a bit provocative. And if Franz's driver hadn't taken a wrong turning he might not have been shot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your original analogy was flawed. It would be like Eamon de Valera or Michael Collins turning up on the 12th, particularly as the pope was on King Billy's side.

Were I listening to it 'live' I'd simply write her off as another ignorant Natter tosspot. Sadly, elsewhere on social media the guts of her remarks have been ignored as she set the agenda in the first 10 seconds. No idea why she chose to do that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 This seems to be a trend this year. Here and in America big companies, banks and hedge funds are buying up property to rent out. Not a good sign for average punters and as I've said elsewhere the impossibility of future growth will push capital from production/services towards rent extraction. Expect homeownership rates to decline much faster in this decade than the last. https://slate.com/business/2021/06/blackrock-invitation-houses-investment-firms-real-estate.html https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-06-17/america-should-become-a-nation-of-renters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
