thats a poor reading, Harris is outspending Trump by a considerable margin, and having office has not been seen as in impediment before. trouble is she's lost the earlier momentum and seems to have gone quiet, or not got anything much to say to the middle ground. unfortunate because Trump...

the tragedy of the "worker" issue is that politicans wrap themselves in knots trying to avoid offence. it's so easy to define: someone who gets there income from their time at work. yep, that means pensioners, landlords, and investors aren't in the group. having floated the term, and it...

Girls Just Want to Have Fun? i think Reeves is taking it quite seriously.

why would we pay money to an African nation that didn't exist at the time and where some of it's people were responsible for enslavement? their decendents should be on the hook for paying reparations along with the UK, Portugal, Spain, Netherlands. the suggestion is money going to people in...

that happens when you dont really cut spending. odd point to make in response to debt increasing at faster rate.

that's a good point. i believe GDP per capita in Caribbean is higher than most African nations, so arguable they are better off. the notion of reparation is so fraught with problems, who'd be eligable, who'd pay, i'm convinced it's only raised by people who want to stir up contention.

then we had the video nasty making kids into muders and computer games making them violent introverts. back further pop music gave us problems with mods and rockers. there's always a problem with new stuff.

Stargate (one for the crypto nerds)

there two seperate issues here: having a phone and expectation of a phone for a class. having a phone at secondary age or even younger is fine with a bit of supervision. i suppose not all will supervise, but nothing you can do there. expectation of phone for a lesson is daft and full of...

of course they mean annually. £10m is hardly extreme, that's a successful business, probably take in a lot of GP partnerships, housing associations, a lot of charities (save tax on profits but have a lot of assets). imagine what 2% yearly tax on BHAFC will do to their finance to put into...

:lolol: funny how you casually blame a group for something you don't like, while accusing others of the same thing.

that means no council housing (unless you write in an exception), no housing associations, no student blocks, and no rental unless its one house unused by a private land lord. it wouldn't do anything about empty properties which aren't being rented. the way to address housing stock is simply...

when you're dead, the concept of main residence kinda goes too.

that would be more consistant approach.

it's ideological and conceptual. the ideology is who's money is it, yours or the state's. if you think it's your money, why would accept government taking a slice just because? it was already taxed when earnt too. the conceptual part is related, when you pass some money or asset between...

it's difficult to tell if the "news" surrounding the budget is from leaky cabinet and treasury or just rampant speculation from journos. the way it seems to change focus every few days suggests the latter.

like those to allow farms and business to pass on? so the Giles family farm sold off, or Arkwight's Machinery has to fold to pay off the inheritance. the exemptions are there from decades of adjustment to make it "fair". there's an IFS article on IHT that proposes various changes to about...

if you're counting all people might be the case, if you're counting pensioners then their assets are considerably higher. average pension pot is ~250k before adding other savings and property. the reason only 4% pay it is because of the copious reliefs, exemptions and loopholes, all for good...

saw some betting markets other day that suggests backing for Trump. seems from a distance Harris has reverted to quiet and thats not something that works well for any election, with good news coming from supporting media rather than direct from her camp.

MMT economist and conclusion its a conspiracy... yep, sounds like they're on glue. a bond price crisis in response to uncosted fiscal policy is exactly what normal economist predict: spend too much, the cost of government borrowing goes up. funny how MMT goes, oh we knew that would happen too...
