It's a question of trading future capacity to build infrastructure/development for today's comfort.
Debt is very real, not having to worry about it for 50 years doesn't mean there isn't a point where zero-coupons perpetuals become worthless and the buck stops.

it’s over…

All this and people still don't understand that the energy crisis is a complexity crisis. Whatever.

>>51287074
>£170B

That's like 8 new Nuclear Power Stations. What the fuck is wrong with boomers, just burn coal for a few years whilst financing new infrastructure. The UK was 30% coal in 2014.

>>51287218
All the power plants are decommissioned. But it's worse than that, all the experienced engineers that we had, all the expertise in inventing them in the first place? They're gone. They're either dead, retired, or working abroad. We don't have the knowledge to build them anymore, or the labour capacity. We have to humiliate ourselves to ask China to build them for us.

The issue is far worse than you imagine. The energy surplus needed to create new means of creating energy is no longer there. The world is about to enter into a long tumble of logistical failures that will result in immense trouble.

>>51287242
I meant this in reference to nuclear plants, but it does actually include the maintenance of the current ones. You may thank Blair for his wonderful new economy, where we focused away from industry, and into the service sector.

>>51287218
>>51287242
isn't most European coal also terrible quality? only Poland has anything that's not lignite, and it's full of sulfur, which is bad for some reason

>>51287283
Well, that looks like a production graph. In the UK we actually have an abundance of easily accessible coal. It's how we got a head start on the industrial revolution.

Pretty fucked.
It's birds coming home to roost. The country has stagnated for 15 years. Successive govts have done nothing to address this.
Brexit was probably always going to be a failure, but BoJo might have used his thumping majority to effect major changes. He didn't, and so we're here.
A couple of years of Truss & Tories flailing about with Neo-Thatcherism mixed with "handouts" which will end up benefiting energy companies and banks more than anyone else.
But the alternative is civil unrest on a level we've not seen for about 50 years.
Probably Labour getting in after that, and potentially the end of the "old" Tory party as their pensioner voter base die out, and younger professionals ask "what have the Tories ever done for me?"
It's going to take political vision far beyond what any of the current crop of politicians can muster. Probably going to need to reverse 20 years of stagnation or decline by the time they get in.

>>51287333
Or at least we HAD that.

>>51287339
It was deliberately done, and there is now nothing that can be done.

>>51287074
Absolutely knackered my dear boy.

>>51287283
No the UK has loads of coal, including open-cast coal mines. There are areas in Wales with high quality Anthracite just sat there doing nothing.

>>51287074
why the hell would she freeze energy bills at £2k if they're going up to £3.5k and even £5k+ next year

freeze them at £3.5k for like half the price to the taxpayer, barely anything anyway people were just panicking for £6k

>>51287218
As the other poster said, we don't have the expertise. It's EDF building our nukes, and they're so bad at it that the French state (which owns most of EDF) are rowing back on building them.
They keep running over budget and years late. I think for the next one they're building (Sizewell C perhaps?) they're trying to angle it so the taxpayer pays for any overruns. Effectively writing a blank cheque for all sorts of corporate incompetence so they can maintain their dividends.
The rot is very entrenched.

>>51287242
>humiliate
who gives a fuck about humiliation? not me. they fucking make everything else we use anyway. who gives a shit? why suddenly when it comes to power stations do you emerge wrapped in a union jack? patriotism is so cringe nowadays. Always selective. Half the country is immigrants anyway.

>>51287242
>ourselves to ask China
probably more likely france if you want to build one to last they still have fast reserves of eng potential
the british problem was they had the global language and partial culture so them moving away abroad was always easier to do on a personal level than other european cultures

total housing crash would be kino of immeasurable quality, but probably never going to happen, land is the last thing they will let go

>>51287074
Pretty bad. The UK is looking at an Argentina-style fall from a high income country to a middle income one.

The UK has failed to understand that economic growth comes from building stuff. The current government just thinks it can cut taxes and that things will magically happen.

The pound would probably rally 10-15% if Labour got in on a mandate and plan to grow the economy. Actually build houses, factories, solar farms, nuclear power plants. Why Labour? Because the pensioners who resist development don't vote for them anyway, so Labour wouldn't have any problem pissing them off.

>>51287074
I just don't even care now. This is all part of a plan to fuck over Europe. Nothing we can do.

>>51287218
>just burn coal

>>51287411
No, the French can barely keep theirs alive. Not due to ability, but willingness and legislation. Them moving abroad was forced by policy that shut down their plants and the education pipeline. People now go to Germany from the UK to learn how to work in nuclear to move to China and whatnot.

>>51287452

This is why it is happening, because it was used as a tool for it to happen. It was deliberately ignored, and now it will feed into the long-build "green" pipeline, and leverage guilt and empathetic social behaviour because the people who are doing this are possessed by evil.

>>51287398
>Anthracite
I thought the Japs were quite keen on building our Nuclear Power Stations as long as we provided the incentives. £170B is a big fucking piece of cheddar.

Britain deserves this. Such a shitty fucking economy, "let's just bet everything on financial services, selling London apartments to the Chinese, and laundering the money of Russian oligarchs, lol".

Utterly, utterly fucked. Britain has next to no natural resources they're willing to exploit; seventy million people (with over one million inbred pajeets and africans added every year!) crammed onto a tiny island; completely trashed the greatest education system in the world (Grammar schools/Russell Group); a sprawling public sector that vastly overpays useless managers instead of those delivering the services (NHS managers, local government and senior 'leadership' in academies all on over £200K per year); absolutely no industrial strategy; no energy security strategy; a people obsessed with nothing other than tattoos, owning a German car on finance and the value of their shitty little house; stifling regulation that crushes innovation and entrepreneurship such that the highest aspiration of the young is the fucking Civil Service 'Fast Stream'; and has let world-class manufacturing specialties wither away to nothing. Our only strategy is to import ever more third-worlders in an attempt to keep wages down and minimise the cost of services, including filling NHS vacancies with unqualified africans who don't actually do any fucking work; whilst simultaneously pumping the property market until the young are reduced to serfdom.

To compound this, we're belligerently snapping at Russia and China, and commiting ourselves to the defence of an EU that is in return trying to bankrupt us and cutting us off from trade. Our geopolitical Grand Strategy is 'do whatever the USA wants us to', with absolutely zero thought given to whether we can afford it, whether we have a competent military (we don't), whether we are getting anything in return, and whether we have secured access to energy (we haven't).

As Peter Hitchens says: I have never seen a more doomed country

>>51287491
yes yes the deep state and the jews are pulling the strings, just keep parrotting that while me and my freemason brothers actually run the world.

>>51287443

>>51287443
>The UK is looking at an Argentina-style fall from a high income country to a middle income one.

I completely agree. Once Truss manages to condense a dozen years of Thatcherite hollowing-out into eighteen months, I'm convinced the UK will independently invent Peronism, then speedrun 20th Century Argentina.

I can't prove it, but it just feels right. The mix of growing socialist sentiment and patriotic arrogance, obsession with redistributive justice amongst the young juxtaposed with the protectionist sentiment of the property-owning old. General lack of productive industry paired with a small number of highly-profitable, nepotistically-gatekept enterprises. Ethnic tribalism and class division. I don't think anyone post-Truss will try and square these circles- or (very) charitably politicians have been trying and failing for the past forty years- and so we'll just attempt to pander to all of them at once, drive the currency into the ground, and force the middle class out of the country, emigrating to Australia and USA.

>>51287074

Extremely fucked. Yet morons will say "at least it's not Labour" like they could have possibly done a worse job over the last 5 years than the tories have.

>>51287074
I have to say when I read this on his twitter feed I thought (for the first time) "that seems a bit hyperinflationary".
The ratcheting up of rhetoric is rapid. Imagine the govt talking about doubling NHS spending 2 years ago? Would have been rejected as mad.

>>51287743
>the french dont have ww2 guilt they arent going down like a good goy
The whole western world is infested with this shit, and they will behave like that until you hit a wall.
To stop central planning from rising we needed a soviet union to fail and reveal itself for the shithole it is, at that point even china adopted some sort of market economy (even north korea is trying to build something resembling a market economy).

The next stage is to stress socialdemocratic beliefs and after that anti-racial beliefs.

An amazingly retarded comment. There's not a single piece in a nuclear plant in Europe that is not built in the EU, with replacement parts guaranteed by law, with only one exception, and it's a component made in the US mainland by IBM used only in some of the most modern plants. Same with the UK.
France, Japan, Germany and the US all have nuclear plants for export designed in the last decade, the knowledge is not only there but still developing.

>>51288162
depends on your frame of reference, regardless of anything that happens in the months/years to come, we're pretty fucked as things stand already.
we have been fucked since feudalism and are returning to default, the social mobility we saw post world war 2 for about 40 years was one of a couple of outlier periods in the last 1000+ years along with the massive depopulation events that came after the black death and the english civil wars.
perhaps we need another one of those, this island doesnt need more than about 5% of its current population. right now we're brainlets functionally coping with the lies we were raised on by the boomers, that the economic conditions they grew up in are the default, that the expectation in life should be perpetual growth and opportunity.

Long term, it all averages out to something manageable and even barely noticeable. The inflationary spiral this will cause in the near short term is what will hurt.

Spending and borrowing is irrelevant if you can turn fiat into industry/growth. Printing to bail out shit like banks with billions of toxic debt and funds that made too many poor trades and to prop up profits of energy companies operating in global markets (which allows the rich to profiteer off the masses) is not a good thing. The whole system needed a hard reset and it should of happened in 2008. ((They)) didn't let it happen because the old boys club at top has our politicians on a leash. The can was kicked down the road and problems expand as nothing chances (such as starting new industry) and old inefficient shit that doesn't work continues to operate off the savings in/ value of the currency.

The only good thing that will come out of this is that the boomers will find themselves in a similar situation to the elite class in France found themselves in 1789. The only thing that can save them now is if the US debases it currency like it did back in 1985.

I don't get it, If there is a energy crisis due to a shortage of gas and they want use to use less energy why are they freezing energy prices? Am I living in crazy world or does this make zero sense? wont this just completely crash the economy come January when gas reserves run completely dry?

The UK is totally fucked.
Perhaps not quite as fucked as a lot of europe but still fucked. We have been barely treading water for twenty years while making beyond supid policy decisions.
The sad thing is that we have, or at least had, the foundations of a good modern economy but it was just wasted and allowed to decay: our education is world class, our infrastructure was quality, our currency was solid, our reputation was good, and we were perfectly poised to remain relevant as an advanced service economy. Instead the only thing we have is the City of London and British overseas accounting, which does nothing for the average person.

You can count it against capital gains in future years but not income etc.

>>51291086
Are we all on the same page with Link staking and HMRC? They claimed staking was a taxable event and should be taxed thus, but this is was because normal staking involves disposal of assets as your staked tokens are exchanged for another token. This is not the Link staking model, and we receive no equivalent tokens back when we stake. ALl we receive are rewards in Link when they are earned. Therefore we should NOT be paying capital gains tax on our Links upon staking. DOES everyone agree with this?

You pay income tax on staking rewards. How that's calculated, I have no idea and I don't think HMRC does either. Is it x% LINK or £y x% of your LINK is worth? When it's distributed or at the end of the year?
Either way, capital gains is not related to staking and to that extent you cannot count capital losses against it. Capital losses can be bottled for years though.

Yeah. I agree.

You pay Income Tax on your staking rewards, so if I get 100 AVAX as staking rewards when AVAX is worth $20, I should declare $2000.

It is for depositing in lending protocols that you are classed as "disposing of an asset", because by depositing on AAVE you'd swap AVAX for aAVAX.

It is only a disposal if you are given another token you'd use to redeem your collateral.

So we have a lot of coal burners and the politicians insist on paying the toll and importing coal?

I agree with a lot of what's in here. The country is fucked. Both Labour and the Tories are near identical but Labour will more openly and quickly move things towards third worldism. I'm not even sure if they'll be worse since the Tories bribe only pensioners while Labour will bribe everyone.

The biggest issue is regulations, councils, and nearby residents being able to delay and block new housing and building.

The second biggest issue is illegal immigration and migration from shit countries causing the demographics to become third world and shit.

After that, there's many other things: bloated public sector (including defined benefit pensions and shitty quangos (Office for Students, etc.)), people on shitloads of benefits (pensions, council housing in central London, etc.), Soviet Union style NHS, ridiculously lenient criminal justice system, the equality act and membership of the European Court of Human Rights, funding of pointless university courses, overfunding of education system (pupil premium, apprenticeship levy) with anti-white and anti-British leftist beliefs becoming embedded within it (and the rest of the public sector), the BBC being on course to be funded from general taxation, lack of free speech, and high taxes as a result of the most of the previous stuff.

In the 1970's OPEC raised gas prices from $3 to like $10 so as a result Nixon put in price caps at like $4. This led to gigantic gas lines and shortages.

Not only does price fixing create inevitable shortages due to the lowering the prices increasing the demand (imagine if houses were capped at $100,000, would you be more likely to try and buy a house? Of course you would), it also lowers the supply because as the lower more businesses will drop out and not sell anything at all, and instead decide to use their money to invest in literally anything else.

What is even worse is that instead of actually working, people would sit in these lines for hours and hours and produce nothing. When you take into account the average income of these people and multiply it by the time spent sitting in line, even with a price cap of $4, they would end up spending way more than the $10 for the gas due to the opportunity cost.

This seems to be happening to my early 30s, successful/high earning friends. Quite a few are planning to or have recently left.
Some have already left for the US. One planning on Eastern Europe with his partner. One to New Zealand with his wife. One is about to leave for Singapore.
And this isn’t because of muh brexit, this is because tax is too high, quality of life too low.

>>51296770
The brexit shills are everywhere, they are not worth engaging with. They hate white men but they want to tax us more and more to live in this crime infested dump. This country is finished and so is western europe for that matter.

If you read pol, here or any other social media youd think the entire country was on fire. Its not really that bad just a continuation of the slow and steady decline we have seen for decades. Prices are up on everything but its really not that bad, my mates who are all minimum wage can still afford pub, cigs and sky sports daily. Wallets are definitely being squeezed but people are used to the crazy easy money times of the last few years so of course that was never gonna last
The worst part for me is the general sense of apathy running through the entire population, or at least those young enough to use social media. Feels like everyone under 40 I meet is already mentally checked out and trying to leave the country or just waiting for the collapse and subsequent authoritarian regime

That's true right now, but it doesnt explain why the outlook is so bleak. You don't just have to look at the potential problems, but the British popular and elite zeitgeist- how we are reacting and will continue to react to the issues that face us. It's not that solutions don't exist, but that we won't adopt them. We're a culture of unresolved contradictions. You can see it right now with Ukraine. Everyone wants to LARP about sacrifices and tough decisions like it's 1939, but we also have the expectation that no-one should ever suffer any inconvenience ever without the state making it right. Realistically, you can have one or the other. This applies to so many things. The government will continue to refuse to make difficult decisions- and likely the leadership and expertise to carry them through is lacking on both sides of the political spectrum anyway- and so we'll just prevaricate and print money until we're in the ground. The country won't shatter in the exact same way that Argentina never truly has, it will instead just get shittier and shittier.

>>51291859
>capital gains is not related to staking
that's what my post was about. HMRC were saying you SHOULD be paying CG tax at the point you stake because it counts as asset disposal. This was earlier this year they hit out with that and it was a real wtf moment. The point i was making is that it shouldn't apply to Link staking as there is no disposal of asset at the time of staking, ie we won't be swapping our Links for some other token

I dont doubt it. One of the reasons the UK has been able to keep on ticking along in a superficially stable condition is that it has sucked up a huge pool of young, often talented, Eastern European labour for twenty-five years. This has covered for failings of the education system- we produce more drama students than plumbers, welders, carpenters, IT, etc- covered the costs of an increasing number of natives dropping out of society altogether and subsisting on welfare, and allowed cheap goods and services which cover up for the decline of wages in real terms post-2007.

The problem is that- even if Brexit hadn't happened- that labour pool is mostly now exhausted. Living conditions and hence wage expectations have increased for Eastern Euros so many dont want to come, the demographic bulge of young workers has gone (Poland has atrocious demographics and a declining population due to migration, for example), and the UK is now feeling the full effect of blowing up it's population without spending on the required infrastructure (schools, hospitals, roads, power, housing...). Plan B, import third-worlders, is bringing a huge number of problems- notably differences in attitude towards work and social conduct, a lack of skilled workers amongst them, and the increasingly painful consequences of that absence of infrastructure investment. This is exacerbated by a now-weakening pound which will make the UK even less attractive to *skilled* foreign workers and a long time horizon for any domestic investment in solving issues (education reform, welfare reform, nuclear power, etc) to pay off- even if any political party was willing, had the vision, could find the people to implement them, and was capable of doing so. Hence the doomed fate of can-kicking into an accelerating terminal decline.

Argentina was one of the richest and most advanced countries in the world in 1913. Their politics created a system that destroyed them. See: >>51287875
