In capitalism a corporation is supposed to distribute profits to shareholders. It seems Thames Water has developed a nasty habit borrowing to pay their dividends to shareholders.

It was only a few months ago it was announced that Thames water had debt of 14 billion for this reason, and today they say their debt is 17 billion. So it seems nothing has been done about this nasty habit.
It is time to take Thames water into public ownership and let the shareholders, management and the banks to sort out the mess they have caused.

British Gas profits are up more than 10 fold while people are unable to pay the heating. it is time a proper cap was introduced for profits for all corporations. There must be a limit on how much profit they can make especially if they are in a monopoly and the what they are selling is essential for life.

What’s the weather like these days, in your “TRNC”?

It’s OK. No need to answer. :lol:


He is profoundly ignorant, a talent that he demonstrates in almost every post! :lol:

Like the one above where he is ignorant of the possibility of dual passport holders going off to fight for the IDF... :roll:

And as you've mentioned before, profoundly hypocritical too... Post something from The Telegraph and it is Swinecunt MSM and of no value, yet above he happily quotes The Telegraph as a credible source... :roll:

I seriously worry about his mental state - how old is he...? Not his mental age, we can guess that! :?

There is an energy scam we have been subjected to since Thatcher the milk snatcher devised the scam on privatising the energy sector and charging excessively to the public. But hey it is ok as turkeys continued to vote for the Swineparty and still do to this day, including our Mushroom Swinecunts here.

Unfortunately Starmer is not even talking about the scam or what he is going to do about it.

Now that is the real shame today.

My Swinecunt friends here will not like this one bit. Even the Swinepress is turning against them.

Tories have 'no divine right to exist' as Rishi Sunak told bluntly: 'It's over!'


What's the betting that a week before the election date they will indeed form a pack just like last time.

This is deliberate that's for sure. You would think that once a vulnerable person tries to claim an allowance, the claims department would help them claim all they are entitled to. Instead they make claiming so complicated that thousands of people most desperate are unable to claim what they are entitled to.

Thousands of Brits had unclaimed benefits totaling £109 million during 2023, thanks to the comprehensive online calculator provided by Christians Against Poverty (CAP).

Nationally, an estimated £19 billion in annual income remains unclaimed, highlighting a significant gap in benefit uptake across the UK.

...indeed, i do.

How about you start a thread, call it, not La La Land, perhaps; and keep the readers informed?

...austerity, just look at how that word has been abused (by the "ruling class").

Sorry but...................... nahh.

This man's a Turkish Cypriot, who's lived in the UK for many years and apparently prospered, running a thread devoted to daily slaggin off my country and people. Despite his retreat claim that actually when he talks about "Swineland" he means the UK Conservative party that hasn't been the case. In the past few years there are very few aspects of Britain that he hasn't poured vitriol and contempt upon. Were I to do the same about Cyprus - where I've lived for 16 years (just guessing here obviously - but I suspect that might just be little longer than you - and certainly more recent) you and others of the very few left on this forum would, frankly, give me (quite rightfully) shit.

Sorry RW but you seem to have the attitude that whatever any Cypriot says must, by it's very origin be right. On the whole you tend to just post Youtubes which can be supportive of one side today and the complete opposite tomorrow. Perhaps you should, and here's a radical idea, actually take a stand on an occasional issue? Backbone? :wink:

I don't believe, what seems to be your view, that this forum is some sort of magazine viewed by multitudes of the Cypriot diaspora is actually true.

I was going to say I look forward to that but I am afraid I no longer read the SwineCunt's posts.

More and more pensioners are being dragged into paying tax each year after the Conservative Government "changed the goalposts", an expert has warned.

An estimated 900,000 people who solely get the state pension are set to be taxed in the 2024/25 financial year. Many other retirees who assumed they would be below the tax threshold are edging closer to, and in some cases breaching, the personal allowance, which is frozen at £12,570 until 2028.


Fuck man 12500 a year is not enough to live on and they are going to tax pensioners who will be just a few hundred pounds above the limit.

If there was a single positive news I would actually post it.
