@hattra2 @ForeverScept I’m not the one who’s trying to retroactively redefine it as a form of ‘benefit’

@InstantAIPrompt @ForeverScept You are buying into a pension, just as you buy into any form of insurance You pay the premiums, meet the conditions, claim your payout The only difference is that NI is compulsory, which is why the payout should be ring-fenced Otherwise it is just another form of taxation

So i have to pay National Insurance for a pension i will never be able to collect and an NHS that deals in everything but health?

@hattra2 @ForeverScept My point on it is… when you call something a ‘pension’ and take a ‘contribution’ it’s not unreasonable when people assume (maybe wrongly) that they are buying into a pension. Maybe don’t call it a ‘pension’ if you want to avoid confusion later.

@InstantAIPrompt @ForeverScept Had a lot of arguments about that The National Insurance Act 1946 calls the State Pension an entitlement

@NickDixon I've honestly have never heard anyone in the UK say... you know what this country needs.... abortion up to birth. Where did this policy originate? and who was pushing for it? it's just weird. Imagine the same energy aimed at fixing the economy or potholes.

If one assumes the purpose of a system is what it does, we can reasonably say our current elite wants to kill old people, tear the limbs off babies, and make sure thousands of children are raped and tortured by foreign gangs.

@AIInvestorHQ But wont's the gobment just gives me free tings?

The UK does NOT invest their money 77% of the UK does not put their money to work outside of their pensions… The whole country is financially illiterate.

@jaguarllu1 @DoctorLemma I got loads of clicks from it.

@DoctorLemma A very smart scam. Nobody I know has ever visited that website.

20 years ago, a student in England made a million dollars in five months. His setup cost was fifty dollars. His idea took two days to build. And it almost lost out to a pouch for used chewing gum. Alex Tew was 21 years old, living at home in Wiltshire, England, and about to start a business degree at the University of Nottingham. One night he lay in bed with a notepad and tried to think of the cheapest thing he could sell a million of. He wrote down dozens of ideas. One of them was a small pouch for used chewing gum. He kept going. Then he thought of pixels. His idea was simple to the point of absurdity. Build a webpage with one million pixels arranged in a grid. Sell each pixel for one dollar. Buyers could place any image they wanted in their space and link it to their own website. The whole thing cost him fifty dollars to set up. He asked his friends and family to buy the first blocks. That raised enough to hire a small press agency to send out a single press release. The press release was picked up by newspapers. The newspapers were picked up by media around the world. Within weeks companies and individuals from every corner of the internet were buying space on a page that was, by any conventional measure, completely absurd. At its peak he was making a hundred thousand dollars in a single day. By January 2006, one thousand pixels remained. He auctioned them on eBay. They sold for thirty-eight thousand dollars. Total earnings: one million and thirty-seven thousand dollars. From a notepad. In five months. At age 21. He never went back to finish his degree. He later co-founded Calm, a meditation app now valued at over a billion dollars.

@DoctorLemma I bought a few pixels on this page. Actually delivered a decent amount of clicks.

@Microinteracti1 What's the percentage of voters needed to flip any political district within the EU? In the UK 2024 election, nearly one in five seats was won with a margin of 5% or less. Makes you think doesn't it?

Britain is 6% Muslim. Germany 5%. France 10%. Sweden 9%. Belgium 7%. At this rate of Islamic conquest, Europe will be majority Muslim sometime around the year 2847. I’d pencil in some mild concern for around 2600 and see how things look then. Now. The refugees. Since someone asked who’s paying for all this. Let’s follow the money back a bit further. America invaded Afghanistan, spent 20 years there achieving absolutely nothing, then left in such breathtaking chaos that people were literally hanging off aircraft. It then invaded Iraq over weapons that turned out not to exist, killed somewhere between 150,000 and a million people, and converted a functioning country into a sectarian hellscape. This is before we even get to the drones over Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan. The people washing up on European shores are, in very large part, the direct human wreckage of American foreign policy. America created the disaster. Europe is housing the survivors. And America is on the internet asking why Europe keeps letting people in. Remarkable cheek, really. As for eliminating indigenous culture: the United States actually eliminated its indigenous people. Deliberately. With rifles and government paperwork. Europe took in Syrian doctors. These are not comparable situations, and pretending they are requires a truly heroic indifference to history. The culture is fine. France still has the cheese. The Louvre is still there. Bach is still there. Nothing has been eliminated except, apparently, the ability to read a percentage.

@ollie_hubbard29 They’ll come for the Grand National first. If that goes, the rest of racing could follow within years. Sacrificing it to appease critics won’t work. Hold the line at the Grand National or risk losing it horse racing in the UK.

They’ll come for horse racing next and then betting entirely. The betting industry must do more to unite and take a stance against these anti activists.

@TownviewKennels Don't give them ideas!

Let’s just ban it all in 2026 Ban greyhound racing Ban horse racing Ban crufts Ban fishing Ban pigeon racing Ban ordering a steak dinner Ban humans having pets Let’s pander to the animal/gambling extremists, ignore the facts and forget about the consequences

@great_martis Easily solved by just printing more money. 💰

Sweet Jesus, Mother Mary of Bethlehem God help us all.

@TypeForVictory North West England and Yorkshire would be a typical mid-sized European country.

The UK is missing a regional tier of govt. Draw them how you want, but multi-county regions of 3-8m people or so with powers from both below and above, assemblies, and empowered leaders *with real budgets* would be a start. WM takes 15% VAT, region takes 5%, both can raise/lower, etc. Regions set/keep proportional property taxes. Then if the NW want a high tax, high spend system, they can have it - but they pay for it. Central govt hands over things like local policing, NHS, schools, etc, focuses on defence, law, foreign policy, major infra, and so on. Fixed payments for each person, plus development grants for poorer regions. Our regions often have quite different political priorities and tilts, so let's give them the chance to see if they work in practice. It may also help parliament become a serious legislature again, rather than hyperlocalised social workers. These reforms don't go nearly far enough, at present. Give proper tax and budget setting powers.

@Danjsalt Have you met ‘many’ people? 🤣 the world is basically a zoo of retards

Okay it's pretty basic Either the war stops soon and without much more damage to infrastructure or we will at minimum have a big economic crisis Thus I place my limited and decreasing hope in the fact that no rational person wants that and thus I assume many many people will be back channeling the crap out of the situation

@restoreUKUSA @WorldByWolf You have the precious now 🤣 good luck

You gave away the empire to win the war. Now we have it. We are not good at it; frankly we are terrible at it. But it needs doing. We miss you guys; at least you knew how to keep the tribals preoccupied. Truth is, our internal landscape is fractionated into so many competing interests that we don't have a coherent policy. I love DJT but he is making this up as he goes along. Not a bad time to chart your own course.

There is no special relationship. The Americans are not an ally. It’s a myth we tell ourselves to make our vassalage seem more palatable.

@therealbigjonno @WorldByWolf

@WorldByWolf The problem is, we should have realised this at Suez. The French did.

@_KMCR_7 @jakub_rusiecki We’ll see after you’ve been a net EU contributor for 20/30 years. Still it’s been a great performance from Poland. But probably wouldn’t have been much different than just abandoning communism.

@jakub_rusiecki Imo, scepticism is always good on any topic in life. And let's be honest, nobody is seriously talking about Polexit. That's only the current narrative of the current prime minister.

We (🇵🇱) just passed Switzerland to become the worlds 20th largest economy. 35 years ago GDP per capita was $6730 Today its $55340. I wasn't around when we went capitalist in the early 90s, but you could definitely still feel the grip of communism in the early 2000s. Central Warsaw was in many parts old abandoned ruins. You had to take your radio out of your car every time you parked or it would be gone among anything else you left inside your car. The same city I walked with my mom as an 8 year old is completely unrecognizable now. 38% annual growth since joining the EU in 2004 EU average was 18%. Watching your country transform in a generation is feels incredibly special. Long live capitalism,free markets and honestly long live the EU! If not for the EU we would've been significantly worse off.

@bluewmist Beer 🍺

What is something relatively cheap that improves your life by 100%?

@gregpower @brumbitcoin And tell us, how big a pension pot would you need to generate £32,000 a year?

@brumbitcoin Yet they average a £32,000 a year salary peaking at approx ~£51,000 - what kind of life is that?

To match the pensions benefits a primary school teacher accrues during their working life, Grok estimates you'd need a private pension pot of around £1 million. The % of private pension pots that ever reach this figure? Around 3%. The state is unsustainable.

@NinaDSchick Just put up taxes - problem solved ’this message is endorsed by the Labour Party of Great Britain’

Very bad for Britain, which is uniquely susceptible. 1/ The Iran war sent British wholesale gas prices surging — up nearly 90% in a month. This hits Britain with unique force because the nation remains 75% dependent on fossil fuels for its primary energy needs. 2/ As gas sets the marginal price for all electricity, a spike in the Middle East becomes an immediate, unavoidable tax on every British business and household. 3/ The reality is crushing. Analysts warn of household bills hitting £2,500 if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed for more than six weeks. 4/ As energy-driven inflation surges, hopes for interest rate cuts have vanished. Britain is now servicing a £2.9 trillion debt mountain with £114 billion of interest expected to be paid this year. That’s nearly double the nation’s entire core defense budget. 5/To make matters worse, Britain has no supply buffer. Westminster based its storage needs on optimistic assumptions of frictionless global markets. It has a maximum gas storage capacity of just twelve days. Compare that to Germany’s 89 days, France’s 103, or the Netherlands’ 123. 6/ Unable to stockpile, Britain is forced to buy gas at the worst possible moment. European gas futures have already surged above €60 per megawatt-hour, roughly six times the US price. 7/Britain’s main gas provider, Norway, is at maximum capacity, and Qatar (the UK’s swing supplier) had already declared force majeure, halting shipping after the unprecedented shutdown at Ras Laffan. Now, missile attacks on Ras Laffan, and threats by Trump to pull out of the Strait of Hormuz.

@pacer142 @SandyofSuffolk If you raise it to 75, it just means more people on sick benefits. I’m fucked if I’m doing 40 hours a week at 65. By then I’ll have a host of illnesses I can milk. I suggest everyone do the same.

@SandyofSuffolk People aged 65 in my grandparents' generation were generally much more frail even by that age than people aged 75 now. And 50 is the new 40. Longer life expectancy absolutely means later retirement. It can't not do - the sums just don't add up otherwise.

The state pension age should revert to 65. There's a reason most people over 65 can't work full time. Cancer, heart conditions, arthritis, and many more medical conditions. Added to which, many people in their late 60s and early 70s are carers to their own elderly parents or look after grandchildren so their parents can work. Unless, of course, you're a Lord or Lady and still pretend you're going to work, while really you just doze off in the House of Lords while sponging a daily rate of a few hundred quid off the hardworking ordinary taxpayers. 🙄🤬
