If you are intending to use funds for a property acquisition in up to three years you'd be crazy to be exposed to the risk of a stock market fall.

Anyone suggesting that should hope no-one follows their advice and comes back asking questions ...

This is dangerously incorrect.

Murdoch is the master of his game.

Looks like he's admitting to being a property developer and taxable as income on the profits he's made on buying and selling property.

One presumes the reverse is also true ...

Good (!) point.

This decision needs an official explanation pdq.

Given Farage's nazi-ism -v- Polanski's eco-socialist populism, which way are you going?

All you are doing is demonstrating that you don't recognise the threat.

And mistaking me for a committed Polanski supporter.

Apart from that, you're doing great!

As I said, you're trying too hard. That's not what he's saying. It's a given that the Green Party will have green policies. The fact they have other policies doesn't change that.

If you criticised the specifics of a workable wealth tax and the defence policy then we may be of more similar views.

I think you're trying a bit hard there, Alex.

All he's saying is that as a political party the Green's need to be about more than just specific environmental policies.

I read that bit as having "additional" not "other" priorities - it's the journalist's words not Polanski's as far as I can tell.

Never seen that arrangement of limbs on someone riding a bicycle.

But, hey, you're paid by Murdoch and I'm me.

Kicked the can of responsibility down the road and finally ran out of road.

A strange conclusion, Alex, not supported by our discussion above.

Still, I'm sure you and Labour having nothing to learn from me as they soar up the polls towards 20% of the intended voting share at the next GE.

Lonely, I guess.

There's a few questions you haven't answered above - and, yes, it was a leading question.

I've given you my view.

I can spot a leading question, Alex.

I'm confident that a Green Party government would seek to at least match the action being taken by the Labour government with the huge majority.

Obviously any government is restrained by "events" including this current one. It's a continental/ global issue ...

You think Polanski's Greens are preventing Labour implementing their green agenda/ policies?

Sounds like blaming Remainers for the shitshow that is Brexit to me.

Labour need to get on with governing and owning their decisions and outcomes.

4 years and 2 months before Starmer's Labour Party won a massive HOC majority.

You might want to change the poster.

I don't know. I wouldn't have asked you if I did know.

From what I understand of Miliband's policies, they sound fine if he can stick with them under pressure from within and without. It's be nice if he go do more, but these things need continental and global agreements to have a slim chance ...

20.11.2025 18:35 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Sounds a bit "My way or the highway" or Mrs T's TINA.

You didn't address my question ...

Has he denounced Miliband's approach or just argued that it doesn't go far enough?
