@mrjamesob.bsky.social Easter Island exactly the same

I look forward to the day you and Sadiq Khan meet and discuss how to make our fantastic cities better.

Amazing, not just how unprincipled the LP are but how shit at politics they are. Green Party will be rejoicing as LP continues to pivot to idiots who will never vote for them.

People rarely care about the balance of payments unless it leads to collapse in their living standards. Sterling does 5% this year. An imprudent budget would see it weaken strongly. In a country with too many people and not enough food, this directly impacts living standards . Can u eat your ideas?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social something tells me you suited them !

All part of Trumps plan to subordinate everything in his path, only Xi has the hand to oppose.

Thought was coming to an end of long, painful probate process. Sent off everything recorded delivery a month ago, paid tax due and between @royalmailhelphub9.bsky.social and HMRC lost it all with no recourse....and I'm not supposed to swear 🤬

I worked for 30 years on a bond desk. I have a vague idea how it works !

No, that's not true .All regions are different Andulusia and Madrid pay nothing. In general tax widely ignored.

Fuck me a plane manufacturer I'd avoid more than Boeing !

Not really owed a shed load to US for WW1

Nah, globalisation and outsourcing of manufacturing to lower cost emerging economies far more impactful. Canada didn't even bail out banks, and the US turned a profit. Protecting mature economies with open economies pretty impossible.

For Trump like being in control of the bank in Monopoly. Just another opportunity for corruption. Just a low life criminal.

TBF, they're pretty scientific beasts, but you're right at this point in the electoral cycle pointless. Think this cycle is different, though every constituency will be its own GE as non facists will vote for whoever has the best shout of beating farage. Makes nationwide polls even more irrelevant

I now live in Galicia. Close to where I live was a settlement called Britonia, populated by Celts escaping the Anglo-Saxon marauding invasion. European history never simple.

TBH, as a white working class estate boy, Banks and his ilk have looked down on me and my family for generations, too. Public school plantation owners son Banks wants to divide people with far less than him to continue to grow his nefarious fortune.

EU has constantly evolved for European Coal and Steel ....time to evolve again. Reform around the coalition of the willing. United defense, migration, tax and rules on US/Chinese tech. Use Trumps tarrifs as role model for trading on net zero. The option to be divided and die,

A new party needs funding...Uncle Jez knows exactly where to get it....Wonder when Momentum get their funding back ?

Let's be honest. the only way real change in the country will be achieved is to destroy the political oligopoly that has strangled reform. A progressive alliance should achieve that.

Italy to raise flat tax on wealthy foreigners by 50pc Italy is planning to raise its flat tax on wealthy foreigners who relocate to the country by 50 per cent.

What this Milan ?

I dont give a shit about the East wing of the White House. But this will become the model to destroy precious wild environments across the planet.

Ireland offer fuck all to the EU, on defence and tax they are as disruptive as Hungary.

It's just a metaphor for humanity. Fucking idiotic moronic species on the way to oblivion

Fascinating subject. What does it mean for the EU internally too. Impossible for EU to cope with an aggressive enemy while have the abused structure of the EU. Chances the alliance of the willing becomes the European Coal and Steel, a forerunner of more federated Europe.

What a colossal waste of time and money.

Somehow so of our age. Bumbling along, hoping inaction will cure all. Going to be a rude awakening.

I'm not sure anyone left to get upset about video games. Been a constant in my life since a kid (now 58), and they have never caused me any problems.

Haha, some years off GTA, I learned some "things" too ....especially from Trevor !

Going to get really interesting as Greens gain ground, they will want to follow left and right simultaneously !. Shows an enormous lack of confidence and beliefs.

I'm playing ....Mario Kart and Donkey Kong with my 5-year-old and expect to be playing games together through his childhood. It bonds us, and we have fun. Far better in my book than he mindlessly watches utube
