### - russia rather predictably NOT agreeing to a full ceasefire only confirming traders fears, the psychological $3,000 barrier shattered and nothing out there to reassure them that things will soon be back to
normal, markets will likely start falling as trading slows and inflation rises...

meanwhile, in the uk, we see the major political movement directly
responsible for originally creating the welfare system after the 2nd ww,
the labour party, the party of the working man: pulling £5 BILLION out of
the health care system that directly supports the sick and disabled particularly, and sending that money along with £10 billion MORE public
money to support ukraine??

mainly because we can't get the money from anywhere else hah! the rich
wont accept being taxed so all that's left is to ROB the absolute poor of
the absolute minimum they were allowed to have! coz make no mistake, there
was never anything 'extra' included in their payments, plus they've been paring-away at the 'value' of those benefits for years until even a small increase in fuel costs means people actually often going without heat, electricity or food, or not able to afford their baby's milk powder!

and because by design, and after 14 years of tory rule, they were all
literally living below the breadline anyway! disability payments had
already been cut several times during that time and crippled people made
to jump through humiliating and degrading hoops (similar to army-type
medical examinations) every 18 months testing to see just how disabled
they were, fail that test by even one point in 14 and you lost everything!
- people died of neglect! 100's killed themselves out of despair! but all
that was hushed-up and went deliberately unreported...

and now they're gonna squeeze them YET AGAIN, to raise money for weapons??

fuck me, this really IS a world full of war-mongering, knuckle-dragging, morons!

i eman, how did we ever even get THIS far?????

fucks knows! sheer luck maybe!

it certainly wasn't because we're peaceful and smart i'll tell ya that
much LOL !

imho, they should ALL be given a cannabis medical license and forced to
fuckin' smoke it lol !

having a bad day pal? well get a gram of 'this' down yer neck mate - it's
the law! :D

(paraphrased bill hicks heh)
