My new challenge is to watch as many films as I can in a year. They can be first watches & rewatches. So my first film of this challenge is a rewatch in the cinema 1. Rocky 5

@PeterMakintps @Patrici89225734 So no point having the right wing in power if they just do what the left want? 🤷‍♂️

@Collectors_Way @Patrici89225734 Everyone knows it was the left that forced the lockdowns

The TORY government And some of those that were in power then are in The Reform Party now.

This was going to be hard enough without giving away a really sloppy penalty! How much time did Digne think he had!? Head the ball unchallenged and wait for it to come down before clearing it? Really poor. Need the magic front 4 to get us right back in it now

4 or 5 errors and a yellow card for Rabiot in the first 8 minutes 🤦‍♂️

@PeterMakintps @Patrici89225734 Labour didn’t force anything, the Tories had a majority government and could do what they want Which they did Hence the 10 billion pounds wasted on useless PPE

@Collectors_Way @Patrici89225734 and Labour forced lockdowns that nearly ruined a generation of our young people and wrecked the governments finances - both messes we are still cleaning up. Which was the more costly error?

I’d have started Kone over Rabiot but apart from that, looks good 🇫🇷

@SkyNews Be honest, How many people will see this and blame this current government 🤦‍♂️ I think you need to spoon feed the general public The headline should be BORIS JOHNSON’S TORY GOVERNMENT WASTED 10 BILLION POUNDS

BREAKING: The UK government wasted nearly two-thirds of the money it spent on protective equipment - almost £10bn - and had 'perilous' stockpiles that were unprepared for the pandemic, the COVID-19 inquiry has found. Read more: trib.al/wDOn8bE

@original_jaj Didn’t Boris Johnson spend 30 million on a garden bridge in London And there’s nothing to show for it? I’m sure the website designer got 1 million. You can get a website for a couple of grand!

@original_jaj Totally agree, I think it’s a combination of a lot of things Outsourcing to make things “easier” seems to cost a bomb. I genuinely think there’s a lot of money/contracts given given to friends even if they aren’t the best value etc

Everyone on here who wants deregulation Imagine you wake up tomorrow and someone has built their house on your front doorstep. You literally can’t walk out of your front door because it’s now the side of their house! Regulations stops that sort of thing 🤷‍♂️

“You were either incompetent or you were in on it”

@oxfordjessicas Currently 93% of people in the UK don’t have enough to leave behind to be taxed on. So you’re only worried about wealthy children not inheriting…….. Enough wealth? 😳

My dad died when I was 22. The idea of someone else that age - left without the support of a parent - being forced to pay the government half of the money left behind to cushion that absence makes me feel sick.

@supertanskiii @lbennison656 So what he’s saying is if Nigel Farage declared his 5 million pound “gift” This awful thing wouldn’t have happened?

Richard Tice: “Stop scrutinising our finances or WE WILL ALL DIE” Fuck, this is desperate.

@ZiaYusufUK How did you ask the authorities questions? By email, post or phone? SURELY not on social media!!!???? Because that could be seen as you don’t actually care & that you just want to politicise her death!

A man gets into a car with a stick, drives hundreds of miles to brutally murder the beloved elderly matriarch of Reform UK. The authorities offer no information, but if you ask questions they admonish you for “speculating”. Reform MPs demanding security from the state are told to shut up and be grateful that “the police know where their house is” and the “direct telephone number to the police” to call if someone tries to murder them. Reveal that the Speaker of the House has totally ignored letters from Reform MPs about their safety and he briefs the press that he’s “furious”, while failing to deny this. If you go to lay flowers in memory of your friend you are “politicising” her murder. If you push back against any of this, you are hounded to the ends of the earth by the Times, the Telegraph, the Daily Mail, the Guardian, the Mirror, and hundreds of crazed leftists online. These, apparently, are the new rules for Nigel, for Reform MPs and all those in our movement. None of it will deter us. We will fight on. For Ann. For our country. 🇬🇧

@elliot_slo21052 I think Labour are actually lifting certain restrictions. You weren’t able to convert high street shops into flats and I think they’re bringing that in Also I know they said something like they are fed up with “not in my back yard” brigade

@Collectors_Way Obviously some regulations matter like lead and asbestos and all that but they slow down house building. Why aren't we building on brownfield sites?

@tomhfh And if he wasn’t there you’d say he’s not patriotic 🤦‍♂️

One last freebie. Gotta respect it.

@DanielPriestley So the “good food” in this instance is the current amount of tax they are liable to pay, is that right? Because everything else in the UK would be the same, the people, the weather etc Sorry if I’m sounding dumb, still waking up!

@Collectors_Way No because the cause is systemic. Like a restaurant that is no longer serving good food, its top customers leave and are not replaced.

11 logical steps that take you from fair-minded socialism to totalitarianism and economic collapse … 1.The desire to reduce inequality requires redistribution. You can’t equalise outcomes without taking from some and giving to others. This is definitional, not sinister. 2.Redistribution requires measurement and control of production. To redistribute wealth, the state must know who has what, who earns what, and increasingly, who produces what. Surveillance of economic life becomes a prerequisite. 3.People respond to redistribution by changing behaviour. Capital flees, high earners reduce effort or emigrate, assets get hidden. The policy underperforms its projections. 4.Underperformance is blamed on sabotage, not incentives. Politically, admitting the model failed is impossible. So the shortfall must be someone’s fault - speculators, hoarders, the rich - an enemy class is named and blamed. 5.Closing the loopholes requires expanding coercion. Exit taxes, capital controls, mandatory disclosures, criminalising avoidance. Each patch requires more state power than the last, because each patch creates new evasion. 6.Economic control becomes control of livelihoods. Once the state directs capital, sets prices, or dominates employment, your income depends on political compliance. Dissent now has a career cost. 7.Central planning cannot adequately process information without real price data. Prices are compressed knowledge; abolish or distort them and the government planners are blind to reality. 8. Shortages appear. Shortages require rationing. Rationing requires deciding who gets what - pure discretionary power. 9.Discretionary power selects for ruthless administrators. The worst authoritarians get on top: a system requiring people to override individual choices for the collective good attracts and promotes those most comfortable doing so. The scrupulous exit; the zealous ascend. 10.The project can’t survive open opposition, so speech narrows. If the plan is morally mandatory, opposing it is immoral. Criticism becomes sabotage; media, education, and civil society get conscripted to defend the project. The single goal crowds out pluralism, because pluralism is disagreement about goals. 11.Reversal is now impossible through normal politics. The state controls jobs, capital, information, and enforcement. Institutions that could check it depend on it. What began as compassion has become a machine that no one can switch off - and everyone must pretend is working … until it collapses and adherence to reality is restored.

You and your family are at your friends house And their ceiling or their walls cave in and kill your child Because that house wasn’t built properly according to building regulations Would we all be happier with that “freedom”?

@DanielPriestley For example let’s say 100 richest people left Don’t the next 100 below them buy up their houses, some of their land, their businesses etc And then people below them buy their houses And everyone moves up? I know that might be naive but I can’t see why that wouldn’t happen?

@DanielPriestley If lots of the wealthiest people left the UK? Of course, initially there would be huge losses in the taxes they pay But long term, wouldn’t people fill the spaces they occupied, make their own wealth & be willing to pay the extra taxes that have been implemented?
