also... the only part of the mortgage that could even be considered a 'cost' from a business sense is the interest... otherwise it's just you buying the home you are renting out, once that's paid off you have a whole ass asset left over... one that is probably going up in value

You really need to learn to read what people write before responding.

Duncan... we have had a conversation before where you tried to convince me labour were worth supporting despite the fact they are doing massive harm to me and my community. It is not an assumption, it is your own actions that lead me to believe this.

Did you read what i actually wrote, or what you wished i had written?

Because that you criticise them is irrelevant to my point, given you do not see their faults (which are far worse than boob hypnotism) as disqualifying to voting for them.

It is not actually whataboutery to point out you are holding the party you advocate voting for to a lower standard than an opposition party. It is in fact hypocrysy from you.

I have a contact (a trans woman) in Portland, Maine, who is willing to host trans and non-binary people seeking refuge from unsafe states.

1 to 3 months, with support to engage with organisations in the area to enable a fresh start.

Email: contact@essehouse.co.uk for more details.

You haven't actually provided any evidence. You have linked a blog post. The blog post doesn't actually provide evidence of the things you are claiming. It is mostly devoting itself to character assassination of the victims, in an attempt to excuse abuse.

i clicked the links. they link to other articles, few if any of which were actually evidencing, or even supporting the claim made
putting a bunch of evidence in one document and saying you have an explanation elsewhere may seem impressive to you, but to actual people, this is just a conspiracy board

you seem to have failed to grasp my point, which is further exacerbated by the fact that you seem to be conflating a wealth tax with a tax on entrepeneurs...

but in any case, your time would be much better spent not defending the people making your life worse, because you will never be one of them

oh noes, the people leaching all the wealth and resources from everyone else might have only 500 millions to lord over the rest of us instead of 900 millions, how dreadful for them, really putting themselves at risk of not buying that second island there aren't they

you keep linking to this article which is just a list of unevidenced assertions made by a group who have dedicated themselves to defending an accused rapist... i do not think this is as convincing as you seem to think it is, it also does not appear to back up your supposed 'facts'

protip, all wealth above the level we are talking about with a wealth tax is unearned wealth. you cannot earn your way to that much wealth through your own labour

More so than the negative consequences of the unchecked wealth disparity we currently have? no.

If the guy was 'immersed in consent culture' he sure as hell did not understand it, because there can be no meaningful consent under those conditions. By his own admission what he did was sexual harassment even *if* he isn't lying about her saying yes. Coerced consent is not consent.

you know what doesn't help trans people? dismissing rape allegations against a rapist just because it is TERFs who broke the news.

Neil Gaiman doesn't even dispute that he had sex with a woman over 20 years his junior who was a homeless domestic servant reliant on him for pay and shelter

th point of a wealth tax isn't actually to raise the funds, that's not really how government spending works. the idea of a wealth tax is to curtail the growing inequality by removing the stockpiling of wealth by a few

andrew very much has gotten away with raping a minor. the charge he is facing, nothing to do with that, it's for sharing government documents. because the law doesn't actually care about him being a paedophile

It's also just not an accurate view of why the eu are doing it... like the eu afaik aren't even pretending it is about honesty in food packaging, they are doing it explicitly at the behest of farmers afraid of losing their market share.

I know people are very sensitive about the use of the word β€œgenocide” but the attempts to medically eliminate trans children is very clearly meets the standard because they are trying to eliminate a population and also they know some of those kids are going to kill themselves

wes streeting is now conducting one of his fake 'reviews' in to adult hrt care on the nhs.

you should switch to diy hrt immediately bcos they're going to ban transition on the nhs.

remember this the next time @lucympowell.bsky.social or @darrenpjones.bsky.social say 'unity not division'.

can't tell if that is just incredibly badly phrased and they are saying 'it is happening in white british families *as well*' as evidence of it not being tied to any culture, or they just see white british as so default that it being more prevalent there is not it being tied to a specific culture...

If becoming a writer, if publishing a book that people want to read, that has a measure of success, is a goal of our hypothetical prospective writer, then telling them they need to read a lot, as part of the initial step, is going to help them achieve that goal.

In general i agree that demarking who is a "real" anything is pretty unhelpful in most cases. However, what message is being conveyed by saying you can be a real writer without being a reader? Not a useful one either. As advice for people trying to enter the space, it is actually harmful.
