@MarcusDromgoole @ajcdeane @FT I agree. It's like saying all chocolate should a have minimum price or all cars should cost the same.

@ajcdeane @FT U.K. govts need to stop setting minimum and living wage rates. However much some unscrupulous employers will mistreat their workers, it’s up to the workers to choose who they work for. These rates are also inflationary. The minimum wage drives up other wage levels. Differentials!

It looks very much like Reeves will see us to 2m unemployed for the first time in a decade with her minimum wage hikes & tax raids. But, as ever, it could be even worse. — Greens to pledge £15 minimum wage in employment rights’ push via @FT as.ft.com/r/65cedff9-42c…

@seanbwparker @SussexGlobe @jowilliams293 All large organisations, public or private end up focused on internal politics and not serving the interests of their clientele.

@TheAliceSmith Capitalism is about shopkeeping. Capitalism is the most successful distribution system in history.

Capitalism isn’t about money. It’s about liberty, progress and personal responsibility.

Iran is a terrorist state. The sooner some people get that in their heads the better.

@real_eire They keep mixing up transsexuals with transgender.

As the transgender madness across the world is cooling off. The Irish Taoiseach claims that children can be transgender.

@godtrue @TheGreenParty He's a hyperphantasiac

I was planning to vote for the Green Party, but after watching these videos , I’ve changed my mind. You are repeating the narrative of the Islamic Republic and aligning yourselves with extremist voices in pursuit of votes. For decades, politicians and parties around the world have used phrases like “Palestine” and “peace in the Middle East” as slogans to attract support. Yet at the same time, they have continued to appease and engage with the Iranian regime, which has fueled conflict and instability for 47 years. If you truly want lasting peace for Palestine and the wider world, you need to take a firm and principled stance against the Iranian regime.

The UK government must ACT NOW and: • Condemn the Israeli Navy’s illegal actions against the Flotilla • Demand the safety and release of all British Citizens involved in this mission • Stop all arms exports to Israel immediately • Do everything in its power to end this ongoing genocide

@Teebear138 @TheGreenParty Good idea

@TheGreenParty I have a better idea. Why don't you all go to Palestine and provide hands on support and give us some much needed peace. Win win👏👏

@ChrisJamesStone @BBCr4today There is no genocide. People promoting this false narrative are responsible for the problem. That's you for one, it would appear.

@BBCr4today "What you want for yourself is what your should want for other people." Like not suffering a genocide. The fake link, created by Israel, and promulgated by the media, between Israel and Judaism, is what lies at the heart of increased antisemitism in this day and age.

“I will speak up and take every measure that I must and should to keep our community safe.” Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood responds to yesterday’s antisemitic attack in Golders Green and calls for Britain to stand in solidarity with its Jewish community.

@doukhobour @Glinner Sounds reasonable

@Glinner Almost all of the racial hatred is causally downstream from liberal white women, like her, who held the gates open for the barbarians and who continue to vilify men and manly (patriarchal!) values -- the kind that buttress a civilization against its enemies, foreign and domestic.

This is the way. Get them to be specific and they fall apart.

@Hitchslap1 The left wing educational establishment don't like IQ testing.

Society should identify high IQ children as early as possible, then put them to work solving the world’s problems. What could be more important?

I was recently informed by a magistrate that her daughter used to worked the CPS and everyone hated Starmer.

@BobWhencer @Flerp13 @Jack_Despairo @K_Niemietz The rising tide.

@Flerp13 @rluthersmith @Jack_Despairo @K_Niemietz If the differential stayed the same, and everyone got wealthier, Marx was wrong.

Reality can debunk Marx, though.

@robkhenderson Capitalism is a cognitive mindset, capitalist-individualism. It doesn't and can't work in peasant cultures such as Congo and others.

"some countries, such as the Congo, remain poor despite their enormous resource endowment, while others, such as Japan or the Netherlands, have become very wealthy despite an absolute paucity of natural resources." utppublishing.com/doi/book/10.31…

@Flerp13 @BobWhencer @Jack_Despairo @K_Niemietz Is anyone stupid enough to think if Marx said it must be true? Everything he predicted has oroved to be wrong. Capitalism has made everyone richer. You should've seen it 20,000 years ago....

@BobWhencer @Jack_Despairo @K_Niemietz One google search btw. •"General Law of Capitalist Accumulation": Marx stated in Das Kapital that the accumulation of wealth at one end is, at the same time, the accumulation of misery, agony of toil, slavery, and ignorance at the opposite end. marxists.org/archive/marx/w…

@seanbwparker @SussexGlobe @CharlotteCGill @WokeWaste £1.8 billion. Bejaysus.

Now everyone's going to go to the States to get oil. Good move.

@GSpellchecker @seanbwparker Sorry, yes they are.

@Ideiasradicais @realMaalouf I say, old chap, would you so kind as to drop the knife?

@realMaalouf I for one am absolutely shocked that british police were capable of actually using force to stop a criminal I would 100% expect them just to stand around the guy asking him to please stop

The Muslim community in the UK is outraged at the way police detained the 45-year-old Muslim immigrant who stabbed two Jewish people in London this morning. According to them, officers used excessive force in a ‘dehumanizing’ and ‘Islamophobic’ manner.

@stengel You obviously don't believe in democracy

I've got nothing against King Charles personally—in fact, he seems like a decent and thoughtful man—but why the heck are we inviting the 77-year-old monarch of a medium-sized nation that committed something close to national suicide with Brexit to address a joint session of Congress? "Of more worth is one honest man to society," wrote Thomas Paine, "than all the crowned ruffians that ever lived." We are the nation that threw off a crowned ruffian and ended hereditary privilege to create a republic where the people rule. Happy 250th Birthday America.
