Jamie Dimon: "Immigration - What the hell are we doing? The bottom 20% of our population, their wages didn't go up for 20 years. They're dying 7 years younger… Their schools don't work… [Americans] should be getting sick of it."

Why should young people have to pay for someone else’s retirement? If you live in a million pound house, and you can’t afford to retire, sell the house. Or don’t. I don’t care. You just can’t expect young people to pay for you!



@afneil Only some cones in by pipeline much comes in by tanker. But I will leave you time to get your facts right about gas.



It is blowing my mind how many people don’t seem able to grasp that oil & gas in the North Sea is not “ours” but was sold off to private companies who will trade it on the international market like any other fuel. We don’t get any kind of privileged access to this fuel.

Oh dear Andrew, you’ve embarrassed yourself a bit here. You’re mixing up where gas flows with how it’s priced. It may come via pipelines, but it’s still sold at global market rates by private companies, so it’s not “ours” in any meaningful sense and UK prices aren’t set domestically.
