VIETNAM ASKS US TO LET CRUCIAL OIL TANKER SLIP PAST HORMUZ BLOCKADE-SCMP

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses. I’ll explain for the economically illiterate. Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add: - 12.07% holiday - Sick pay - Maternity pay if and when required - National insurance - Pension contributions These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up. Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t. Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics. Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs. There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay. So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost. Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes. The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

Women all over Britain feel increasingly uncomfortable in their own town centres with imported foreign men intimidating them - I raised this issue to Starmer. There is one party that will put the safety of British women ahead of these unchecked foreign men. Restore Britain.

In Germany, if you send your children to private school, you can claim 30% of the tuition fees, capped at €5,000 per annum, per child as a tax deduction. Meanwhile Britain has become a country which punishes people for going private

Muslims do not need to become a majority to take over a nation politically. The real benchmark is 10%. Once Muslims reach that threshold, they generate enough organized, consistent, and relentless pressure to begin reshaping a society from within. This is exactly what happened in the Middle East, Islam ruled for centuries before Muslims were even a majority of the population. They will do the same in Europe and the West if not decisively stopped. The Islamization of culture accelerates once political leverage is achieved; but achieving that leverage never required a majority. Islamic doctrine is extraordinarily well developed on this point; it has centuries of refined methodology for how a minority captures political power, then gradually Islamizes the culture until the demographic transformation becomes irreversible. The British and Europeans have no idea what they are dealing with. They look down on Islam as a primitive religion; a relic, a curiosity. They do not see it for what it actually is: one of the most sophisticated and battle-tested systems of political conquest ever developed by human civilization. By the time they realize it, 10% will be a distant memory.
