H.M. Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee

[Khun Paul]

Well it is over, Long Live Her Majesty, however as usual conspiracy theorists aqre talking about Abdication, appointing P Charles as regent , due to her poor health. She only has mobility issues , nothing more maybe too old for corrective skelatal surgery . Pain from deteriorating joints is really painful, reduces the quality of life 100%.

Good party, lovely p[agent , however life must go on .

Pain from deteriorating joints is really painful, reduces the quality of life 100%.

Um, not really. Death reduces the quality of life 100%. Deteriorating joints certainly reduce the quality of life greatly, but a bit less than 100%.

the queens' actual b-day is april 21st. it's all very
confusing for non-brits to follow. even the kenyans had nice things to say. as she was there in '52

...
I see Meghan Markle and her simp husband got a jolly good boo from the crowd as they left St Paul's Cathedral:
...

In other news, the England national footie team were booed when they took the knee before their game in Budapest. FIFA had already sanctioned Hungary for previous spectators displays of racism and it was supposed to be a 'closed doors' game. However, the HFA used a UEFA loophole and children with adult guardians were allowed to attend the game.

I guess for now, England hasn't quite yet got the monopoly on ignorance, bigotry and racism.

Do you mean the England football team, the supporters or all of us?

slag off yanks if it gives relief. we genuinely feel pity

[Doodoo]

https://www.in2013dollars.com/UK-inflation-rate-in-2022
Political Institution is a shambles. Well of course of then the news wouldn't have anything to print
Taxes thru the roof When have we ever heard "Oh lets pay more"
and the rest ?????

source: ons .gov.uk

according to brit gov't source it's at 8% ytd

maybe it's brexit, maybe russian problem. i think
you'd be hard-pressed to find brit who thinks 2%
or maybe your figure is a monthly change

yes , your guy is flipping monthly & yearly rates
or some independent # related to£ as parrot says
because 2% is a ridiculous figure

[parrot]

I think that 2.27% inflation rate is related to the pound, not to the consumer price index.......which is what most people (who shop) follow

...meanwhile, in the real world.

Inflation is a measure of the rate at which a range of prices are rising over a given period of time.

In the UK, this is worked out by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), which notes the prices of hundreds of everyday items, known as the "basket of goods".

This is constantly updated. In 2022, items such as tinned beans and sports bras were added, reflecting a rising interest in plant-based diets and exercise.

The ONS releases its inflation figures each month, showing how much these prices have risen since the same date last year. This is known as the Consumer Prices Index (CPI).

Inflation rose by 9% in the 12 months to April, up from 7% in March.

The Bank of England has warned that UK inflation could reach 10% in the last three months of 2022, largely as a result of rising global energy prices.

Completely agree Tam.
The idiot Brit haters on here would have us believe that is only the UK suffering at the moment.

European Union annual inflation was 8.1% in April 2022, up from 7.8% in March. A year earlier, the rate was 2.0%. These figures are published by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union.
Mostly because energy prices have shot through the roof in the last year.
We still await the real economic pain the Russia's invasion of Ukraine is going to have on food availability and prices and, is the US Fed policy of bumping up interest rates going to result in the same kind of foreclosures we seen in 2008? So nothing to do with Boris, nothing to do with Brexit what else will you blame it on now.

Just a gentle reminder that we still await the outcome of the enquiry into Sir Kier and his Marxist cronies about his blatant breaking of the rules as well.

I see the Serial Liar as the biggest Brit basher. He treats the British including the Queen with contempt. He partied and partied while she had to mourn alone. What an awful man.

Don't know what constitutes a party on your rock, but we pretend Brits (according to the new biggest troll) usually have loud music, lots of varied drinks, people in various states of inebriation, the odd chemical or herb available, heavy petting and other sexual acts taking place in dark corners and the odd fight or two. A staid cheese and wine event in the back garden is akin to an afternoon tea party rather than a PARTY.
Stop pretending you give a dogs poo about HM mourning alone, pathetic.

"usually have loud music, lots of varied drinks, people in various states of inebriation, the odd chemical or herb available, heavy petting and other sexual acts taking place in dark corners and the odd fight or two."
That seems to have nailed the parties at Number 10 pretty well ........ except you seem to have forgotten the spewing red wine up the wall and on the carpets
