And those are the summer months. Chunt & the growth are launching 41 billion austerity, tenner say he's out faster than kwarteng

I'll take you up on that!

Hunt or his policy revision will be staying, it's Truss who will be going.

Remember, George Osborne as chancellor under Cameron lasted many years with an austerity program, since although they didn't like it, the electorate knew it made sense.

Their mistake was in giving it up, especially since austerity fitted so well with the growing need for action on climate change.

Osborne followed the 08 crash (&low interest rates to protect banks, homeowners) - i.e. the electorate understood the legitimacy of austerity then. We went, nationally, from being a family living beyond our means to becoming a family with parents with a crack cocaine habit (& raiding our piggy banks to fund it). To say the chunt-&-(malignant)-growth coalition and any austerity they introduce has a legitimacy problem would be an understatement
Edit - & we're entering a period of largely uncontrollable inflation, collapsing property prices, recession - with post covid national debt, a lot rockier than post 08..

Depends on Truss going and how cleverly it's played. Some things do have legitimacy to justify austerity that the electorate can understand, so long as they are expressed with honesty and consistency:

The scale of our national debt.

The urgent needs of climate change correction.

That blaming past errors won't correct anything.

But that must be accompanied by successfully alleviating the huge increases in costs being suffered, by taxing all those who have gained so much from the changes and by sensible fiscal policy.

We're not going to get substantial growth unless we invest heavily in industries which make products and services we can sell to the rest of the world, and by increasing spending on infrastructure. That means more borrowing with a clear plan which is understood by the markets. Simply cutting spending won't get the growth job done, not in this economic environment plagued with rabid inflation for years. Cutting taxes wasn't going to work either.

Headphones are electret ..ie have a built in permanent electrostatic charge and are otherwise similar to classic electrostatics..but less costly . Similar type of construction with a panel not a cone. Mine were from a company called Mitchell and Johnson . The effect is slight but noticeable at the mid to high end .. guitars seem to vibrate a little longer, the clicks are clickery, I can distinguish more clearly the accent of a backing singer, .. things I had not noticed ..but once I do ,I can pick them up again on the Sony's or more standard headphones.

Hmmm... I'll audition those sometime. The Sennheiser HD600 drivers are extremely lightweight, and my ears haven't heard any other headphone which reveal as much. You can hear absolutely everything. They broke the mould making these, but there's always something better than amazingly brilliant.

That's not how it works. The people learn that one young man, Mark Duggan, gets shot dead by police in Tottenham, and the mobs turn out over hundreds of square miles and riot in fury.

They learn that very large numbers are dying from curable conditions, due to long waiting lists caused by a politician and they yawn, change channels and watch Strictly or Love Island instead.

I miss physical shops which have all of these high end headphones to audition - I used to take my best portable players and hang around for hours, before deciding. Ordering online and sending things back is a massive waste of time, and more polluting.

id not pay more than £300 for headphones and the 650s i have are now £430

think i paid about 250 for mine but was over ten years ago now and still the same drivers so built to last not like most of the cheap crap these days.

Not quite. Others dying on waiting lists are not the same as unpaid rent, bailiffs coming round, homes being repossessed, tangible, painful cuts to benefits. The red wall is I believe in for a rude shock no amount of strictly will numb. But that hasn't- quite - happened yet (theyre still trapped in the afterglow of the growth's pipe dream and naive as they are probably viewing chunt as a saviour)

Exactly.

All that happened in the late 1980s and beginning of the '90s, but still they kept the Tories in power until 1997.

And then who did the great British public choose? An obvious pseudo Tory, wealthy barrister Tony Blair.

About 300 is all I'd pay too - it isn't time to ditch the Senns just yet, but nonetheless I might grab a pair of these. Beyers at that price point do sound very good... you always see these whenever BBC Click feature any segment involving sound. Not as easy to repair, but at least Beyer haven't fscking sold out to a German hearing aid company and ceased making spare parts!
