The Tories must be humiliated to the point of extinction.

@N12nick if Ukraine hadn’t happened. The ever increasing power of the City of London since the time that Britain lost its colonies but instead created a financial web around the world which encouraged every gangster and corrupt dictator to deposit their filthy lucre in its mysterious and arcane trusts. Before BREXIT, the City had resisted any attempts by the EU to bring these transactions into the light and therefore tax them. It believed in a kind of historic exceptionalism which is unchallenged in the UK. and very attractive to all those oligarchs! Post BREXIT it’s come back to bite city if London in the arse as they've lost all those privileges and it’s all gone to Frankfurt (is it?) and the Tories had to react to Ukraine and freeze all those Russian assets
@filmcritic I'm seeing a massive collapse.
They've tried to shore it all up but that's driving inflation
The pandemic was a convenient cover, I'm not going down the deliberate biological attack conspiracy, and no doubt added to the problem
However, there's only so much shoring up you can do before the weight of debt and hidden assets will collapse the system
If all the money sucked out of the system and hidden in Swiss and Tax Exiled territories was in circulation....it might be different
