@cjsnowdon Why isn’t Cuba the richest country in the world? They control their own currency They can simply print their way to luxury and wealth can they not? What’s stopping them?

Land and bricks and concrete and other things you need to build houses are free; the entire £25 budget goes on salaries and the infinity money whirlpool machine goes brrrrrrr so you can rent them out at a £575+M per year loss without actually losing money.

The "decade-long Brexit study" just looked at a graph, *assumed* a change to the slope was due to Brexit, and then said the difference was due to Brexit. Yes, it's that simple. Yes, pretty much all these studies work this way.
Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year. Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer. https://t.co/kDDLrfPBUY

600M rental income on 25B is 2.4% gross return. Cost of UK Govt borrowing is currently 4.7%. So what's being promoted here is a minimum 575M loss per year, before taking admin costs into account. Apparently this will make us all richer... Lefties and numbers, eh? 🤦
The UK should borrow £25 billion to build 100,000 Council Homes (annually) • 155,000 jobs. • £600m rental income pa • Add 1% to GDP pa. The state retains the asset of £25bn & rising. Borrowing to invest in state owned assets such as council housing enriches every one of us

@KMc_head @ushouldbeontv @eoinyk There is a kind-of moral narcissism in countries like Ireland adopting an alleged neutral stance when that neutrality is protected and underwritten by Britain lying between them and any possible threats.

Britain is a poor country; committed to artificially compressing median domestic wages until every Englishman earns £25-40k irrespective of skill or qualification. Squeezed between tax brackets & Blairite minimum wage legislation. It is only natural people are choosing to earn
NEW - we've data showing huge numbers of people reducing their income to avoid high marginal income tax rates. Not just at the £100k point (as previously reported). But at the £50k point:

@BDSixsmith But of course he did. Chommers's critique of power fundamentally derives from the fact that Chommers himself does not have as much power as he thinks he deserves. He never saw a non-America-supported 3rd world tyrant that didn't dampen his gusset, for instance...

This is one of the more historically entertaining articles that I have recently written. At present, the nations of the African Union - Nigeria, Benin, Ethiopia, Ghana, Libya, Morocco - are seeking reparations for the Atlantic Slave Trade. I note an obvious practical problem

I wasn’t very online ten years ago when the Bataclan was attacked, but I read various obituaries and mourned, as one does with any terrorist attack. I mourned on the belief those people died in a spray of bullets. That their suffering was limited to the time between the

Oooh, this could be fun! Particularly bearing in mind how hilariously plaintiff-friendly the UK courts are for libel issues...
Hey there, @Independent. No, we did not run ads for recreational snipers to hunt human quarry in Sarajevo. Kindly remove the comment from your site. @SKatzKeating

There's a lot of truth to this. Wherever we have data, we see this repeated: Communists tend to be downwardly mobile. They are, always and everywhere, disproportionately likely to be their generation's losers. Consider this Finnish data on the Red and White Guards:
@cremieuxrecueil Those born in a high social class and who have inherent low ability, and thus fall a social class, are the most resentful and vocal. They also are the least impactful people on long term trends, yet are deceptive in their overcrowding of the present zeitgeist. Occupy Wall Street

@K_Niemietz The British Left's rhetoric regarding billionaires is becoming disturbingly similar to Nazi rhetoric regarding Jews The Party-approved Two-Minute Hate will continue until those exploitative parasites who produce nothing of value and are the reason people are poor are gone, right?

I'm a man born in the early 80's and even I knew that pension age equality has been coming for decades... They're just sensing a weak govt and trying to take them for a ride...
The whole WASPI issue should be nuked from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

4 million people in Britain have been given exemption from ever working and free money for life. 1 million of them are foreign. How was your early start and commute today?
