  • Not gonna lie, I did a double take when driving past this sign

  • Whoop whoop Whitley bay in the house!

    The irony is there's now not really anywhere near there to get in the sea or the old lido. Just a rather meaningless sign on the outside of a park.

  • Ha ok to put mainly rather than maybe. A typo by me.

    Again you did say mainly. Apart from the section where you said it was only Norway and then that no EU governments owned US debt.

    Your post again.

    "Only Norway" which you then clarify isn't EU. Then a whole sentence that clearly says that EU governments don't own any US debt.

    Just can't admit that post was wrong huh.

  • Again your own post. You do put a couple of maybes in there but then say the only exception is Norway and finish with a very unambiguous final sentence that EU governments do not own US government debt.

    It's not me that's trying to save face by bringing a load of maybes into it. You were wrong. EU governments do own US debt.

    Just the last two sentences again since you seem to be a bit thick

  • It's the last line. Where they say it is owned by governments just not European ones. That's just wrong. They do own some of it. How much is up for debate but to say they don't is wrong.

    Also agree they probably won't do anything with it as using it as a lever will also damage global markets, increase the overall cost of debt and impact all the economies involved.

    However the world seems so fucking mental at the moment. So who's to say it won't happen.

    Also I do wonder if China might do it with theirs just because they can, to flex their muscles or as a big fuck you to the US.

  • Here we go your own post where you sat they weren't owned by European governments. Only Norway

  • Nope your turn to prove that none of this debt is owned by European governments.

    I've provided the most reputable source that says the debt is owned by governments and within their breakdown it says some of those countries are European.

    It doesn't provide a detailed breakdown of private Vs government for these countries but no where does it say that is debt is only privately owned in European nations.

    You need to prove that or stop talking nonsense.

    Although not technically part of the EU anymore the UK government has confirmed a number of times that it owns US debt. Other nations will certainly do this as well.

    Unless you can provide a source that says that no European governments own US debt you're just making things up.

  • The section you've quoted that line from is only talking about privately owned US debt.

    As you can see from the actual beginning of the paragraph rather than picking out the words you like at the end.

    As I've already posted and mentioned right at the start of the pdf

    See where it says 44.2% are held by foreign governments. Governments.

    In the document from Congress.

    About their own national debt ownership breakdown.

    Then when we look at the country breakdown of ownership of this debt later on there are plenty of European nations in there.

    Jump

  • Hmmm except that just saying the same thing again still doesn't make you right.

    When you get further down the pdf from Congress (or any other valid source on government debt breakdown) there's a number of European countries. Such as this.

    Have you got any actual sources for your statements other than just repeating the same thing?

  • Probably will just disappear.

    Would be great for single year plastic items/packaging.

    For some reason the article says it decomposes naturaly in 50 days and then goes on to list the automotive industry as a use. Aren't cars supposed to last longer than 50 days outside?

    Jump

  • There shouldn't be a fox at the end of it. Fox hunting has been banned for ages in the UK. Now it's possible that they do this man made trail to lead to a fox den but that's already illegal.

    My guess would be that animal rights are campaigning because of the general cruelty involved in training a large pack of dogs and then having them run all round the countryside disturbing and possibly harming the animals.

  • Bob Vylan rapper will not be prosecuted over 'death to the IDF' chant

  • What I love is the wording of this. They said the case wasn't moving forwards because of a "lack of evidence". Not that there was no crime committed.

    The whole thing was filmed and broadcast on TV. Exactly what extra evidence was needed to bring this to court?

    Not a crime and should never have been treated as one. Complete waste of time and money.
