More like "Goodbye SE Asia" if the US starts to fall behind China in weapons technology. Followed by "Goodbye NATO"?
Or if China decides to take Taiwan and its chip-manufacturing expertise and capability 'in house'. That really could be the start of WW3 (he said cheerfully)...
Assuming they refrain from making the world glow in the dark, the unavailability of certain chip types in the west could tilt the crypto market a bit.
Doubt is not a pleasant condition.
But certainty is an absurd one.

Anywhere else, passenger demand would affect service provision. Odd.
Edinburgh and Fife has a perfectly good train service. Unless you worked on the Gyle (West of Edinburgh) you would be better on the train as that took you to Haymarket or Waverly station. Two driver driverless bus only went as far as Edinburgh Park what is next to the Gyle. You would need to jump on a tram to get into the city. Not to far from the same area is a park and ride also.
Yet more backpeddling from Labour as they back down from their previous demands for the waspi women to be compensated. Now given the chance to do so, they refuse to! Yet more broken promises and lies!

Just watched it on the news. It's pretty shocking the stance the reds had before the election compared to now.
You can see why people have no trust in traditional politicians. The UK needs a Trump to disrupt the political landscape. Not because they'd be good, but just to shake up the fucking shite political bollocks we have to put up with now.

Being pedantic, it's back pedalling. They're not selling anything

I still fail to see why these Waspi Women are so upset. Their opinion seems to be that they are financially out of pocket?

Yup, we replaced one lot of lying duplicitous twats with another lot that are even worse!

I don't know why pensioners are so upset about losing their winter fuel allowance. Their opinion seems to be that they're out of pocket.
I don't know why farmers are so upset about inheritance tax. Their opinion seems to be that they're out of pocket.
Isn't "being out of pocket" a valid reason to be upset?
It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place,
which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice.
Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government.
Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess?
Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?
Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices?
Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance.
Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God's help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do.
I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place.
Go, get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.
In the name of God, go!

But at the age of 59 11/12ths they could have decided to carry on working. Nothing was taken away from them, so how can they be out of pocket ?
Just throwing it out there: if businesses have increasing costs, such as increased N.I., maybe they'll increase their prices a bit. If a lot of businesses do tat, it might stoke inflation.

SKS seems to lurching from on crisis to another, purely of his own making. I honestly thought he was more of a professional politician than that.*
Anyhow, I bet Saga Holidays and Gala Bingo are crossing their fingers and hoping the government caves on this one.
*Make of that what you will.
It might surprise some to find I don't wholly disagree with some of his policies, but the blatant lies to get votes, WASPI promises being yet another case in point, and the subsequent fuck you, since gaining power is incredible!
I'd say if you're going to do what he's done, then from a damage limitation POV its best to get it out the way early, but I suspect many Labour voters will never forget his back stabbing! I can't even have a wind up about it at work as my Labour voting colleagues are more pissed off with Labour than most other party supporters are!

Be careful what you wish for. Oliver Cromwell was a nasty piece of work.
