Innovative product development and paraglider pilot. See the world from a different perspective.



The OBR drew this chart. Yellow line is what the state takes. Green line is what the state spends. The gap will be filled by stealing from you, your children and their children. By 2074, UK debt hits 270% of GDP. The state's own watchdog admits it in writing. Yesterday the bond market read the chart. UK 30 year gilt: 5.76%. Highest since 1998. UK 10 year: 5.08%. The market knows what comes next. When yields rise too far, the Bank of England will step in. They will print. They will buy. They will debase. They will steal from your children's future and their children. Just like 2022. Just like covid. Just like 2008. Savers smoked. Pensioners smoked. Gilt holders smoked. The pound will lose another generation of purchasing power in months, not years. You have been betrayed. And this is only the beginning.










Occasionally a handful of people working in government can have a significant impact In the Cabinet Office a team of just 15 investigators cross-referenced different databases to establish that 2,600 people who have moved abroad were wrongly claiming child benefit That's an immediate saving of £17million in wrongful payments. That pilot will now be extended and is expected to save £350million over the next five years
