@EmergingRoy @Trinhnomics Yes the INR devalued a lot, but the calculation suggested is still incorrect.
English
Gold imports = gold purchases at lower price = higher asset value as gold has appreciated.
Indians buy gold because it's a real asset and a good hedge against inflation or depreciation of rupee vs USD and vs gold.

The entire $0.5-0.6T current account gap over the last ~15 years for India is gold. By extension, cumulative net FDI and FPI over this period is almost the same. We have attracted hundreds of billions of dollars with one hand before sending it outside to buy gold with other hand.

On behalf of their client, Zara Sultana, Bindmans Media and Information Law Practise Group requires that I publish the following statement on X, and that such statement must be clearly visible and pinned to my profile for a continuous period of no less than 24 hours: “On 30 March 2026, I published a post on my X account addressed to Zarah Sultana in which I stated that she encourages and incites violence and is friends with terrorists. Those statements are false. I was wrong and offer my sincere apologies to Ms Sultana for the harm and distress caused to her.” It is my very great pleasure to do this, and I reiterate my sincere and repeated offer to meet with Miss Zara Sultana in person to resolve our differences.

@Trinhnomics @EmergingRoy This is not correct. If you put $100 into INR in 2010 and deposited in a local bank and earned interest …

The idea that Brexit actually helped the Uk economy is absurd.
Robert Jenrick@RobertJenrick
The idea we need even higher taxes and more red tape is as absurd as the idea of you being Prime Minister.

@draloneboy In the UK healthcare cost about half as a percentage of GDP and longevity is higher than the US. Pay less live longer - single payer.

Kaitlan Collins: “Do you think undocumented immigrants should have access to federally funded healthcare?”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY): “I believe personally that healthcare is a human right. I believe that every person should be able to go to the doctor.”
Kaitlan Collins: “But if you could choose, do you believe [the law should be changed, allowing illegal aliens to have free healthcare]?”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY): “Pardon?… I believe in a single-payer healthcare system. Where if you go in and need a doctor, you can get the medical attention you need.”

@Artemisfornow I think you mean “normal” as in the @RobertJenrick sense??

‼️ Rochdale 2010… here’s Gordon Brown. He forgot he still had his mic on….Oops.
He called the woman who questioned the influx of migrants a ‘Bigoted woman’. But Gillian is just a normal English woman.
What would she say in 2026… and what would he call her now?

Reminder - the UK economy would be 5% bigger EVERY YEAR if Brexit wasn’t chosen!

Reminder: the £2 billion of gold Gordon Brown sold when he was Chancellor would be worth £44 billion today.

@RobertJenrick No Genius would be to bring back the guy - @Nigel_Farage - who lost the UK 5% of potential GDP every year - that’s $20 Billion EVERY YEAR!!!
Just Normal People do that kind of stuff!

Genius.
Bring back the guy who gave away our gold reserves to advise on ‘economic resilience’.
What could possibly go wrong.

🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer has appointed Gordon Brown as his Special Envoy for Global Finance
English
@ZiaYusufUK @sharmilaxx @Nigel_Farage led the Brexit Effort which loses c. 5% of potential GDP EVERY YEAR. So good ol Nige lost the UK far more.
Do the math!
English
Gordon Brown sold 395 tonnes of our gold reserves at the bottom of the market, and - stupidly - told the market in advance.
Gold has since risen 1500% and the gold he sold would be worth £40 billion more today.
Now Starmer brings him back as his Finance Envoy.
A sick joke

@jaglancy @mr_james_c Why do “foreign people” have to pay taxes while working in the UK?

Why do working British people have to pay for foreign people to live for free in london?

More than half of Lambeth's social housing is occupied by lead tenants born overseas. In some parts of the borough, 2/3rds of the social housing is occupied by lead tenants born overseas. A huge percentage of London's immigrant population is effectively subsidised to live here.

The entire point of helen is that her beauty was so extreme that two civilizations went to war over her face. that's the plot. Nolan race swapped the most famous beauty standard in western literature with whatever this is. directly contradicting the plot basically.

I took my daughter out for Chinese food last weekend, she’s 16, old enough to know better.
We sat down, and when the waiter came to take our order, she made a comment, A racist one, directed at him, to his face.
The waiter kept his composure, took our order, and walked away.
I put my menu down and looked at her.
She could tell from my face that something was coming, I called the waiter back over, told my daughter to stand up.
She looked at me like I had lost my mind, i told her again, she stood up.
I told her to apologize to this man properly.
She started with a weak “sorry.”
I told her that wasn’t good enough, i told her to get on her knees and apologize like she meant it.
The restaurant went quiet.
She looked around at the other tables.
Then she looked at me.
Got on her knees, and apologized.
The waiter was gracious about it. He told her he appreciated it, then briefly explained what it felt like to deal with comments like that while just trying to do his job.
She was crying before he finished talking.
We ate our meal mostly in silence.
When we got home, I grounded her for a whole month.
No phone. No going out. Nothing.
Some people told me I went too far.
That kneeling was too much, I disagree.
She embarrassed a man in his place of work in front of strangers.
The least she could do was feel a fraction of that discomfort.
I’m not raising a child who thinks people are beneath her.
Not on my watch.
Was I too harsh, or did my daughter get exactly what she needed?

This has gotta be the Ned of the business. If all you’re selling is experience when you’re trying to sell food and drink - that’s a big problem in the medium term. It’s like the red Apple iPhone. #sell @Starbucks

Starbucks CEO defends a cup of coffee costing $9 He says the customers needs to just not think about it as a $9 cup of coffee, you’re paying for the “experience” of getting a Starbucks coffee “In some cases a $9 experience does feel like you're splurging, and then what that means is we have to make it worthwhile.” He says Starbucks customers “want to have a special experience and regardless of what your income level is, in some cases, a $9 experience does feel like you're splurging — well, this is a really affordable premium experience” How out of touch could a person possibly be…
