Most of the country is a net taker, and almost nobody in Westminster will say it out loud.
A single person stops being a net cost to the British state at around £43.5k.
A couple, £65k.
A family of four, £105k (likely higher).
The median household only earns £35k.
Everything I've written since the autumn back to back, is really all one argument — culminating in this: Britain spends more every year to stand still, on a base that can pay less every year, and borrows the gap from a market now billing by the week.
£9 trillion of housing wealth that is really forty years of cheap credit, repricing so quietly nobody feels poorer.
A migration bill of £40 billion a year, every year, to import labour for the jobs the machines take first.
A few thousand people who staff the state, the boardroom, the regulator AND the pension fund, and bill you three times over.
An AI dividend that lands in California while the redundancies land in Surrey.
A bond market that no longer gives you decades.
None of it new. A book from 1973 named it the fiscal crisis of the state: two bills no government can put down, keep the economy profitable and keep the people quiet, on revenue that was never going to cover both.
“Gradually, then suddenly.”

@anglopjdst They will double, and triple, down on DEI.
Only regime change will stop it. Large-scale personnel change is necessary, in addition to the required legal changes. New ppl must replace the existing ppl.
English
@anglopjdst They want ppl to know that they will not be easily swayed.

What a time to release this
Ministry of Justice@MoJGovUK
Sitting down with Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy, Freddie Fraser finds out what the new Judicial and Legal Diversity Board, co-chaired with Lady Chief Justice Baroness Sue Carr, really means for talented people from all backgrounds who want to become judges.

@EulipotyphlaOG_ @Kitty01121 Will Nigel denaturalise everyone associated with the rape gangs, all of the afghans who were illegitimately imported and given residence, and Islamic extremists?
Why did Nigel say he removed Rupert bc he wanted to deport families associated with the rape gangs? Weird, huh.
English
@friendly80an @Kitty01121 Stripping dual nationals of their British citizenship was on the 2024 Reform Manifesto which both Nigel and Rupert stood on.
It really isn't very new.
English
Not to say "I have a black friend", but it's relevant.
He was a staffer, having lunch alone in Portcullis.
Rupert alone, also sat down and they chatted for half an hour.
"The nicest MP I've ever met, I'd vote for him"
"Yes. His new staffers might remigrate you"
"Really?"

Rupert Lowe MP@RupertLowe10
This awful Egyptian should have his British citizenship stripped from him, and then be removed from our country - along with thousands and thousands of others. Islamist extremist dual nationals should have their British citizenship stripped away from them, and then they should be deported. This is not complicated. This should be done as many times as necessary. If that's thousands, that's thousands. If it's hundreds of thousands, it's hundreds of thousands. If they've given up their other citizenship in an attempt to remain in Britain? We must urgently explore how that can be reversed. We have leverage. Let's use it. Get these savages out of our country, whatever it takes.

@friendly80an @Kitty01121 Wow, Rupert Lowe believes in what Sajid Javid did to Shamina Begum. Real novelty there.
English
@Kitty01121 @EulipotyphlaOG_ Are you a fool or only purposefully being disingenuous?
He is obviously leaving the ECHR, repealing HRA, and changing the law.
English
@friendly80an @EulipotyphlaOG_ '.encourage them to leave not breaking the law' so he's not changing laws, not leaving ECHR etc but will ask them if they'd like to leave! Oh my God, and you tried to twist his words! Lowe isn't deporting anyone, he didn't even quote his policy, because he doesn't know it!

@EulipotyphlaOG_ This is interview where he says that btw. Last 30 secs.

@EulipotyphlaOG_ They have access to legal aid, they have the judiciary on their side, they have a collection of NGOs supporting them, they get NHS care, they work as delivery drivers, etc
English
@friendly80an The Hostile Environment is Tory-era nonsense. Since 2014, illegal migrants aren't even allowed bank accounts, etc.
There are cornershops all over Britain that employ illegals £5 an hour in cash.
The underclass genuinely life in worse conditions than you can possibly imagine.
English
@EulipotyphlaOG_ This is independent of denaturalising everyone associated with the rape gangs and who Islamic extremists, btw.
It will be much harder to implement a successful voluntary repatriation program, I don’t disagree.
English
@EulipotyphlaOG_ Whether it is successful is down to the exact collection of policies, and how successfully implemented they are, which induce pressure.
If maximum pressure is asserted, then millions will leave.
English
@EulipotyphlaOG_ I agree with the last sentence.
But regarding Denmark they’ve had a lot of legal problems in implementing their policies.
None of them have a “hostile environment” either. If halal is actually prohibited, along with bans on public prayers, new mosques, etc then many will leave.
English
@friendly80an Whilst I do not wish to take the piss.
6 from Sweden, and 300 per year from Denmark (half returning to Bosnia - of all places!), sounds exactly as farcical as it reads.
If you want to do deportations properly, you actually have to physically enforce them, not pay people.
English
@EulipotyphlaOG_ Though there are ppl, in Denmark in particular, who are trying to expand this to citizenship.
English
@EulipotyphlaOG_ Correction: Sweden and Denmark currently pay only non-citizen residents to return.
I was wrong on that.
