"Instead of raising money, the tax on private school fees has done the exact opposite — at least in Scotland. It has cost the Scottish economy £60 million and 900 jobs"

@Wardrobe55 The average British person would be a lot better off if they just put any spare cash into the S&P500 and left it there.
“Good savings rates” (4.5%) and low appetite for risk are killing this country

British people have £2.3 trillion in cash, just sitting there, doing pretty much nothing of value.
Britain’s entire GDP is around £3 trillion.
This country is still stuck in a wartime rationing mindset. Utterly embarrassing. We are falling disastrously far behind.

Britain’s economic stagnation: • Bottom quartile for private investment since 1993 • ~£100bn annual investment gap • £2.3tn sitting in cash outside homes & pensions • Productivity growth effectively stalled since 2008 • 2026 GDP growth forecast below 1%

This man reported a coworker to HR for giving him a Christmas card because as a Jew it offended him. But muh individualism.

I am a race neutral advocate. I don't recognize the idea of 'race,' at all. We are human. Racial categories are meaningless and archaic. I am a strict individualist. You are an individual. I am an individual. Culture, ethnicity, community... that matters. Race doesn't exist.

Indeed there is something ominous about it, absolutely, BUT I'm starting to mull over another theory too—specifically relating to the sense of how "rushed" multiple governments including the UK's have appeared in recent years. Labour most of all.
Ever since Brexit there's been a palpable sense that somehow someone somewhere is running out of time.
Sometimes it's ramming through assisted suicide. Sometimes it's a Digital ID. Sometimes it's abortion up-to-birth. Sometimes it's a million H1Bs here, there and everywhere. Sometimes it's Canada, sometimes it's Germany, sometimes it's Australia.
But the pattern is always the same: deeply, profoundly unpopular governments ramming through masses of unwanted legislation that they never campaigned on and was never in their electoral literature.
That's what I notice in the broader context of unloved regimes attempting to speedrun bad legislation through their respective parliaments.
VPNs are only one small part of the larger pattern.
Matthew Green@matthew_d_green
There’s something ominous about the speed with which the entire world has marched to require identification on platforms and, as I expected, begin the process of banning anonymous VPNs.

This nasty man (who is, btw) cites a chapter in Moby Dick about the evil of the colour white, as if that refutes the rights of White people to exist. Laughable. As soon as you analyse their emotive guilt-tripping, it falls apart as incoherent drivel.

Banksy's new anti-nationalism sculpture has the aesthetics of a garden-centre ornament and the moral complexity of a Catchphrase clue. This is comfort food for the midwitted, middle-class left, says Alex Dale

I think the Met Gala is good for only one thing, which is reliably gathering up all These People into one location at a certain day every year.
I’m sure this will become useful one day.
