At least Harris has plans to try and stop the con of supermarkets and other businesses using inflation as an excuse for ripping off customers.
Here no one gives a fuck as the likes of Tesco make billions in profit with prices going through the roof.
A fucking windfall tax on these opportunistic cunts and energy companies would be better than wacking pensioners.
But those with broader shoulders should bear more of the burden apparently, but thieving cunts like Baroness Mone still live the high life Scott free.
If I remember correctly when your new president takes over great significance is given to the first hundred days.
Here Labour are trying a different approach and trying to see how many pensioners they can kill from hypothermia in the first 100 days.

See he’s ruled out another face to face debate with Harris. Clearly he has been told the truth that she humiliated him.
Expect 2 months of lies and madness from him cranked up to 11.
It’s scarcely believable that this race can even be close.
Lose or win he’s going to cause trouble.

Sadly, I can still see him winning.

I’ve got a pal in Charlotte I might be popping over to see next year if you’re anywhere near. Quite liked the city, lots going on there as “Wall St mk2” and went to a Panthers Packers game in ‘99. Having a load of cold beers in gorgeous sunshine was fantastic.

Supermarket margins are really tight in the UK. Prior to Covid food had never been cheaper in real terms. You can't blame businesses for maintaining margins when faced with the first inflationary event in a generation. There's plenty of price gouging going on in supplier markets at the moment - but not in food,

Family work in food.
Food is simply too cheap, it is, we have got too used to being able to have so much and waste so much. Supermarkets did that by selling so much at a loss and now people expect it.

Sadly this is true. A nasty fact we don’t want to deal with as a nation is we have some of the cheapest food in Europe, are producing nowhere near as much as we consume and successive governments have been largely reluctant to deal with the problem. We take cheap food for granted but the poor end up eating largely processed poor quality food as a consequence. How we deal with this dilemma in the future will be a - as they say - nice problem.

You don't go from £882m to £2.3bn without taking the piss.
It's the same with energy companies and alot of other sectors, including insurance.
They all have an excuse and are taking the advantage of it to keep shareholders happy.
Once they can charge those prices they don't go down.

As to how I am a Baggies fan? Pretty simple: Started following the Prem back in 2011 and just keyed in on WBA due to the kits, their underdog mentality(To me at least) etc; and Odemwingie quickly became my favorite player.
So, she's a bit better than a misogynistic, racist, narcissist, convicted felon, sex predator, compulsive liar who couldn't accept the results of a free and fair election and incited a group of thugs to attack the Capitol building?
Do they do 'damning with faint praise' over there?

Good to have your here CB. Have you been over to visit The Shrine since?
Someone could have been killed
