‘Uk is a leveller’ is always funny to me . There is no society where locals find it hard to know rich people . It just shows you’ve not integrated enough . You are expecting the rich here to display the same way Naija people do😀

When will Africans finally outgrow this embarrassing and childish tourist syndrome? An African flies to a European country, sees a shiny building or a fancy train, whips out their phone, and immediately runs to social media to cry, "When will our country have this?!" SPOILER ALERT : those train rides are not free. They are directly subsidized by the missing wealth and uncollected taxes of the developing world. Truth is that, while the rest of Europe was tripping over themselves to aggressively extract African resources by sending gunboats, missionaries, and colonial administrators to do their dirty work, Luxembourg was playing 3D chess. They did not need to get their hands bloody or dirty. Instead, they quietly positioned themselves as the ultimate offshore tollbooth for the wealth being plundered from the Global South. Here is how their white-collar criminal network operates: A massive multinational conglomerate digs up copper in Zambia, pumps crude in Nigeria, or mines cobalt in the DRC Congo. By any standard of fairness, the immense wealth generated from those resources should be taxed locally to build the exact same roads, schools, and train networks we keep drooling over. But the global financial system is rigged. Instead of paying their fair share, that corporation sets up a shell company and often literally just a dusty P.O. Box in Luxembourg. And then through the dark arts of corporate accounting known as "profit shifting" and "transfer pricing," the company manipulates its books. The African subsidiary, the one doing the actual extraction, magically records zero profit. Meanwhile, the Luxembourg P.O. Box records billions. Africa gets the environmental degradation, the exploited labor, and a depleted national treasury. Luxembourg gets the capital. Now, Luxembourg taxes these phantom P.O. boxes just enough to make it look legitimate, pulling in about 5% of their GDP. But that’s just the cover charge. When you factor in the massive ecosystem built to service this racket,the armies of corporate lawyers, wealth managers, auditors, and bankers designing these tax-dodging schemes, it accounts for a staggering 30% of Luxembourg’s entire GDP. Put the math together, and you realize that nearly 40% of their national wealth is a monument to laundered money. It is the most flawlessly executed heist in modern history. They managed to siphon the wealth of a continent without firing a single bullet or toppling a single regime.

All buses, trains, and trams are free in this country. For everyone! Luxembourg is unreal. When will your country have this?

@KemiBadenoch This is what goes on in Lagos and Nairobi; that's why it is happening in London now. Your party imported the Third World, you get Third World behaviour. The last mass outbreak of this thuggery in 2011 was under the Conservative Party and you did nothing to stop it.

Children smashing up shops in broad daylight, stealing and even filming themselves doing it as if it were a game, is a much bigger problem than is being recognised. This is a total collapse of consequences. To those making snide comments about race or black kids - you do not see scenes like this in Lagos or Nairobi. Not because the children there are different, but because actions have consequences. There are clear boundaries. Parents, communities, and the authorities do not wring their hands or look the other way. Here, we have created a culture where too many young people believe they can do what they like and nothing will happen. That is the problem. And we should be honest about where that leads. If a child loots a shop today, films it for social media, and faces no real consequence, they are going to do much worse tomorrow. This is why under my leadership Conservatives are focusing on ENFORCEMENT, not just making more and more rules. Our Take Back Our Streets Campaign is about getting 10,000 more police officers, immediate justice and immediate punishment. But let’s be honest, this is not just a policing issue. It is a failure of authority at every level. Parents need to know where their children are and what they are doing. Discipline should start at home, not in a courtroom. We have also weakened the system around them. Deterrence is the backbone of criminal justice. Labour have changed the law so anyone receiving a sentence under 12 months will automatically walk free, instead receiving a suspended sentence. When people believe offences like this will not lead to meaningful punishment, we should not be surprised when more of it happens. You get more of what you tolerate. It’s not like we haven’t been here before. In 2011, when riots spread, the Conservative response was swift and visible. People saw consequences. And behaviour rapidly changed. That is what is missing now. This all comes down to fairness. Law-abiding people should not feel like fools while gangs smash and grab without consequence. The sad truth is the communities most damaged by this behaviour are often the very ones these young people come from. Only one approach will fix this: clear rules, real consequences, and the confidence to enforce them. It’s time to Take Back Our Streets and bring back a culture of enforcement.

Personally, I would have required they all were arrested and their parents/carers come to collect them from police custody. Contrary to comments and narratives being pushed by some, this is not a policing problem, but rather an insight into what the future may hold. Young children during school half-term, decide to storm a store and cause absolute carnage, steal from the business in numbers and cause significant alarm to other members of the public while filming their criminal activity for content. Where does this sort of behaviour graduate to? What is the logical next step from this? How many of the parents of these children will know what they have been doing?

Peter Obi was never an opposition, he came and packaged himself, lied to you and made all of you fool. Peter is fooling you, he has fooled you to the point that instead of you admitting that you were fooled you think you are too old to be fooled and you can't admit — Omoyele Sowore

I'm thinking about this again as I'm applying for German citizenship. "Yes, I can still support myself. You should know since you tax a third of my income. Here's a €200 document from my tax advisor to prove it."

I think about this passage from @patio11 a lot. German and Japanese bureaucracy have a lot in common.

One of the most expensive mistakes a man can make is to carry responsibility without carrying authority, because once you are expected to absorb pressure without being able to shape outcomes, you stop becoming valuable and start becoming convenient to exploit for other people’s comfort.
