@dhh I would have a look at the UK, where inequality is rampant and getting worse. It’s not great for your average everyday person, nor for businesses.

Tomorrow needs to be tended to by planting new seeds. New companies. New growth. New capital. And that's just not going to happen if the Danish state declares itself at war with capital formation or accumulation. world.hey.com/dhh/denmark-de…

@H_Wilkinson05 @EllieC51039968 @reformparty_uk That’s on an amendment to that bill not the actual bill itself. Again, please learn to read.

English
@H_Wilkinson05 @EllieC51039968 @reformparty_uk I think you should go back and read the tweet I replied to, cause you said she voted Aye in that.
English
@MrLParker @EllieC51039968 @reformparty_uk You linked me to where it shows she voted no.
So I'm right.
English
@H_Wilkinson05 @EllieC51039968 @reformparty_uk No they didn’t. If you go to that very vote on the parliament website #noes" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">votes.parliament.uk/votes/commons/… and scroll down to “Your Party” you’ll see her in more.
Please learn to read.

@Sophotogenic @dannyriding @CurtisDaly_ The moral aspect isn’t what we’re on about though.
In the example you’ve provided where if I was trying to get people to give me a different job then it’s obviously not morally correct, but shes not going for a plastering job is she?
English
@MrLParker @dannyriding @CurtisDaly_ Ok lets suppose you posted a video to try & get people to give you a different job. You're stood in front of a PC and the implication was you had just made GTA VI, when in reality you're programming ability is:
10 PRINT "Luke is The Best"
20 GO TO 10
RUN
Would it morally correct?
English
Ok but she's also a councillor so why can't she talk about politics and be a training plasterer? Should tradies stay in their lane?
Frances Smith@francessmith
Greenies getting upset about people been mean about this. But worth remembering that lots of people do plastering courses without feeling the need to make a political video of themselves before they have mastered the skills.
English
@dannyriding @CurtisDaly_ You would be correct I don’t, because my trade is software development I don’t need to learn plastering atm.
I wouldn’t say I’m arguing, I’m more asking perfectly reasonable questions.
English
@MrLParker @CurtisDaly_ Get a life fella.... if she were training why would she mix he muck up so badly??
I never diverted at all she is obviously cos playing but you wouldn't know that because you probably haven't had to mix plaster up.... pick an argument with someone else poppet cos I ain't biting.
English
@dannyriding @CurtisDaly_ No you didn’t, you diverted from a simple yes or no answer and made a presumption on someone was training her.
Because if you’re training you’re bound to make mistakes, no one is perfect and everyone starts from zero.
Also why is someone in training messing up a bad thing?
English
@MrLParker @CurtisDaly_ Answered the question and gave you basis to the answer.... if you profess to be training why pretend for a photo shoot and muck up badly??
It's really simple.
English
@dannyriding @CurtisDaly_ I also noticed you didn’t answer the question, so maybe you could answer it?
English
@MrLParker @CurtisDaly_ If someone was training her they aren't fit for purpose...
English
@dannyriding @CurtisDaly_ And if she’s self teaching?
English
@dannyriding @CurtisDaly_ Just seen this pop up, so are you saying that someone training needs to be perfect first time?
English
@CurtisDaly_ That muck on her pallet is too far gone to be used and the plasterboards behind her have been cut and hung by children with mental fatigue. I'm pretty sure she hasn't done ANY plastering if at all. Moral of the story "Don't pretend to be something you ain't"
English
@blancmarc20 @packetsniffer99 @ThreesTwos32 @cezthesocialist That was during/after thatcher.
We’re on about before thatcher.
English
@MrLParker @packetsniffer99 @ThreesTwos32 @cezthesocialist and the people who bought council houses in the 80s were generally those who lived in them, whose jobs had gone when docks & factories etc closed, & who then sold them on at a markup. The people complaining about high rents now tend to be students from the sticks. Different world
English
That is literally what I want them to do. I actively want the government to make being a landlord a bad investment and difficult to manage so they sell their housing to someone who will actually live in it.
TootingWarrior@packetsniffer99
@cezthesocialist Renters when their landlord decides the new rules are too one sided and they sell up
English
@packetsniffer99 @ThreesTwos32 @cezthesocialist So, at the moment, while numbers like GDP, Interest Rates, Inflation etc look ok, on the ground person to person it’s not great, it’s a wildly different story.
English
@MrLParker @ThreesTwos32 @cezthesocialist I don’t understand what distinction you are trying to make here.
English
@packetsniffer99 @ThreesTwos32 @cezthesocialist The British economy as we measure it now? Or the British economy in the realms of actual people?
English
English
@packetsniffer99 @ThreesTwos32 @cezthesocialist We literally had this back before thatcher.
Local authorities would generally be the landlord and money from that would go into local services etc.
English
@ThreesTwos32 @cezthesocialist I’m sorry but if you think the government could replace the private rental sector you’re smoking crack.
Think NHS waiting lists.
English
@moving_charlie @stuartshakesby I think you’re wrong here. They help drive growth by enabling others to directly do so, public or private, doesn’t matter. Because you need a healthy population to produce that growth and to be as productive as they can be.
English
@stuartshakesby Growth in the private sector doesn’t rely on the public sector. Nurses are great but they don’t drive growth.
English
Nurses do many critical things and are immensely valuable, but they have nothing to do with growth.
With a government that doesn’t understand growth, we have no prospect of seeing it.
They keep doing things that are damaging.
And saying “growth” a lot.
BBC Question Time@bbcquestiontime
“The teaching assistants, the nurses, the shop workers, the delivery drivers - they are the people that will drive growth” Labour’s @bphillipsonMP criticises the government's economic planning, arguing it should focus on jobs and not “unfunded tax cuts” #bbcqt
English
@moving_charlie So it’s mostly down to marginal pricing where the price of electricity would be priced at the highest costed.
In this case it’s always going to be gas, so even if we predominantly mostly using renewables as long as we have gas in the mix it will always be prices at gas prices.
English
@MrLParker not my niche so no time, but would be good to know
English
This is the second largest reason why the UK economy is stuffed.
The first is that housing has sucked everyone’s income out of the economy for 20 years.

@moving_charlie And if the money (read that as profits) is going back into the community then I’m happy.
English
@moving_charlie Yeah, I would buy if I could afford it.
At that point a landlord without a mortgage is basically paying for someone else’s holiday or life. The only exception to that for me would be if a local authority was the landlord, then the money is likely going back into the community.
English
Only 12.5% of responding tenants think their landlord is bad.
The rest think they are ok, or good. Over 50% think they're good.
It means that the majority of tenants are perfectly happy "paying off someone else's mortgage" in return for no shock bills and flexibility.
