Only because your always fighting amongst yourselves - could have highways everywhere if you wanted...concrete over the savannah, who needs out of control grass everywhere, and solar electricity from the sahara...eat all the crocodiles and lions and snakes and things, or put them in zoos...enough forest to rival Ikea...with sustainable logging. Africa could make Dubai or Shanghai or New York even seem a dump in twenty years.
Thank you wise B'wana. Come to visit us and teach us how to be like you :food: :td: :soup:

Truss backs down on tax cuts for the rich.
On yesterday's Sunday politics programmes she was insistent that the economics was sound, and that the biggest tax cuts since the Heath government of the early 70s would generate growth and jobs. Obviously she just doesn't care enough about growth and jobs to fight for them, or to take on the lily-livered wets and Tory turncoats who are more concerned with optics than with making Britain great again.

...The speed of her decline is dizzying, as if someone had fast-forwarded the film straight to the big fight scene at the end; within the space of a week, she has lost the confidence of her MPs, the markets and the country. From abroad, we’re now viewed with the rubbernecking fascination the tabloids once reserved for Kerry Katona or Britney Spears in mid-breakdown. Is Britain … all right? Our friends are worried for us. And all the time, real money is draining from real pockets, alarmingly fast.

The U-turn on the 45p tax rate came too late to stop the slide. Mortgage rates have already risen, as a result of Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng’s preening overconfidence. The Bank of England has ploughed billions into bailing out pension funds, thanks to this pair’s misplaced belief in their own unorthodox genius. Now they’re scrabbling for billions of pounds of spending cuts in a hurry, after it emerged that the markets don’t buy the foundational myth of Trussonomics – namely that tax cuts would stimulate so much growth they’d essentially pay for themselves, eliminating the need for painful spending decisions.

Assuming Truss honours past promises to ringfence pensions, the obvious target is vulnerable people whose benefits have already been either frozen or raised only by miserly amounts for the past six years. Taking from the poor to give to the rich in a cost of living crisis is cruel beyond belief. The next few weeks will tell us whether it’s so cruel as to be actively unworkable for the Conservative party...
