Government with too much power (Socialism), or government giving too much power away to banks and corporations? (Your free market capitalism) The cause? simple, money. Take for instance Glaxo Kline Smith who tomorrow say state that they wish to locate a large part of their business to Scotland to develop a new wonder drug which will require up to 1000 personnel. Can you imagine the hysteria from all the scottish councils vying for the business and promising all sorts of financial inducements with cheeks spread wide? Stating the obvious but there you have it, that's how the world turns. Take for instance a country such as Azerbaijan which until 1991 was completely run down and an underdeveloped Soviet state, the city of Baku was surrounded with bountiful under producing oil wells served with leaking antiquated equipment and pumpjacks ,(nodding donkeys), a total feckin shambles. Then BP steps in, big style, they immediately take on the local Azeris and spend big money on engineering training programmes for them and at the same time totally ignoring the russians born in the country, corporate politics at work. BP invests heavily in oil infrastructure throughout with Platforms and production facilities even fabricating and running a pipe line from Azerbaijan to the Med, the money generated envelops the government and dignitaries also ensuring that the grass root levels also benefit to a degree. BP now runs the country but not that anyone would notice, and even the UN would vehemently deny that. Did you watch the Baku formula 1 Grand Prix? who would have thought thirty years ago........................................................................................................................ Some years ago BP flew 14 land rigs into Columbia's back country by helicopter, every feckin piece of equipment, every nut and bolt all choppered in, a massive undertaking costing many millions, the project went tits up due to aggressive banditry and corruption, and thats just one wee dot in the company's financial history so much so that BP got the feck out and left all that equipment behind. And that was just one wee hiccup in the company's financial history. Money runs the world we are in unless you live in a yurt in Outer Mongolia and cool yer tea with yak's milk.

Cerberus Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I like David Lammy but rather than try to understand why the right is increasing in popularity his answer is to alienate floating voters by doubling down in calling them fascist and racists.Labour are absolutely terrible and their policies are a joke. The Tories are the better party of the 2 at the moment.It doesn’t make me a racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all, the only oil stock I own is with a minor Alberta company on the Toronto Stock Exchange, and I only purchased that on a daft whim many years ago thinking that the licences they bought in the bountiful Venezuelan basin would be profitable but the crazy cowboy owner feckin blew it and an individual share now is worth cents.
