And duty, vat, corporation tax on all that……. Meanwhile, people will be too busy trying to keep a roof over their head to make a fuss How high could interest rates go? - BBC News WWW.BBC.CO.UK Interest rates are one of the main tools used to keep the UK economy growing steadily. Still, that’s just my tin foil hat and maybe everything does logically just happen by complete accident…..yeah, that will explain how something so beneficial to governments and their paymasters happens….fate ! Lol I don't doubt the latest harvest of taxpayer money will come from energy charges , but I don't believe it relates to the war in Ukraine. We get buggered whether it be house market crash, banking crisis, recession, covid. The ten billion profit she'll/BP or whom ever made thatla our wants to Stealth tax was lost on russian interests , I'd probably take it off them anyway but the fact Scottish power are screaming for people to get a fuel loan is more worrying to me ... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,751 Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 The claims of the Makarov being hit look like misinformation now. Now believed to have been a small landing craft that was hit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The majority of veteran's I came across, all felt they were simply used and when the war's ended. They were discarded. The Rhodesians were the exception. Which is understable when you see what was done to there country. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have they been printing rubles to pay for weapons like Mugabe did in Zim? I strongly suspect it’s a very misleading claim. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
