Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of Β£800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

More than one self-serving liar.

Israel is backing one or more armed militias in Gaza.
What could possibly go wrong?

Explain why Trump's tariffs have been less damaging than expected. Could it be that the free market extremists were wrong all along?

That's what I thought. As I remember it (second hand) it was all about analysis and criticism of literary works.

I did an A level called General Studies, which included an element of English. But how the standard would compare to what the government has in mind here, I have no idea.

When it comes to solar generation, California has a bit of an advantage over Lincolnshire.

Quite. I don't. I did all STEM subjects at A level.

A level standard of English. I wonder what that means.
Does A level English include grammar and vocabulary these days?

I'm watching Gen V S2.
The political satire is a lot of fun.
"The goat is called Elon. We named them all after assholes"
It's lucky Trump isn't watching because he'd set Pam Bondi on the writers for sure.

Amazon keeps offering me books. Which is reasonable. I’ve bought quite a few from them in the past. But, they're so often Book 3 of 7, Book 2 of 4 etc. Surely even the most neurotypical bookworms want to start with Book 1?

It's proper foggy here in Stockport tonight. More than I've seen it in a while. Luckily, all I’ve got to do is sit by this nice warm radiator and watch Alien Earth.
