Are we getting close to the scene where Starmer gets blue lighted to hospital with a sudden bout of the dreaded Rat’s Piss Virus?

Here is a question worth sitting with. If grazing ruminant agriculture were a new technology, invented this year, announced at a tech conference, presented with a slick logo and a $200 million Series B, it would be hailed as a breakthrough. A system that converts inedible plant matter into complete human nutrition. Builds soil while operating. Sequesters carbon. Maintains biodiversity. Requires no electricity. Self-replicates. Provides forty separate useful materials in addition to food. Operates on land that produces nothing else. Investors would queue. The TED talks would write themselves. The branding would call it "distributed bio-fermentation, powered by photosynthesis." Why does the same technology, having existed for ten thousand years, currently attract the opposite reaction? What changed? Was it the technology? Was it the marketing? Or was it something about us?

Wealth taxes are how you turn the EU into a distressed asset for private equity acquisition. Remember: a wealth tax on unrealised gains leads to forced asset selling by average Europeans, while carve-outs exist for those using offshore corporate vehicles. Any country implementing this policy (such as the Netherlands) is engineering a market crash and distressed acquisition strategy, designed to transfer wealth from retail investors to institutions, all wrapped in a “tax the rich” narrative. As with policies like this, it will be structured to transfer wealth upward, just like the current closure of the Strait of Hormuz. This is a real endgame asset-stripping policy, deliberately designed to engineer a crisis that would otherwise have been allowed to occur through normal market corrections. Manufactured crisis is the policy. And only those with offshore corporate structures and hard money to invest during distress will survive it. Of course, if you own a money printer connected to a central bank, then you will create the money needed to acquire distressed assets and privatise the gains while socialising the losses. Everybody needs to become far more financially savvy to survive the crises these policies engineer.

Prime Ministers don’t make choices at all, let alone tough ones. The iron core of generational bureaucracy runs the country, and has done for generations. Politics is just a soap opera for people who went to Oxford and take themselves too seriously, and Newsnight and Question Time are those cringey post-show panels, like Big Brothers Little Brother or The Talking Dead, with delusions of grandeur.

Not long now before Unregistered Chickens head to the Lake District to play at Stand in the Light. Still time to get your tickets. It really is a fantastic festival with the best people you could ask for. Even if the Chickens weren't there it would be worth it. 😜

Banksy…globally renowned artist..the anarchist artist, anti establishment, thorn in the side of authority, the Batman style hero of the modern art world. Well I call bullshit..Not because of the what so much, not because of the content but because of the how. There is not a chance in a million years that his latest piece of art in central London could have been pulled off without the full permission and pre knowledge of the authorities. In this video I explain why..
