I'm a born American, but I attended university in the UK. My first wife was British. My family roots on my grandfather's side go back to the Birmingham region.
I have a deep affection for and admiration of traditional British society and culture. Never a foreign nation to me, but extended family.
I'm profoundly saddened by what the British people have allowed the left to do to them. Your government is a criminal conspiracy against the public. If things continue, then centuries of British history will come to an end. The British people will be conquered subjects in their own homeland. And all without a single shot fired.
This is why America has a 2nd amendment.

I’ve never been ashamed to be British until today - I can’t be the only one.

National debt shock for news presenter. Watch how @StephanieKelton goes off (his) script. He's told like the earth is round (yes, and because really, no ships, planes, people have ever fallen off his flat earth.) cbsnews.com/video/economis…

When is the country, the whole world, going to wake up to the fact that this totally fictitious narrative, that taxes fund government spending, is a total lie. Money is a creature of law. Fiat currency is de jure, it is created when government decrees expenditure.

@DavidMcNab17 Is there a simple analygy for #MMT as per the household budget ?

Give me strength: ‘Printing money’ is not the final resort for government spending - it is the ONLY way governments spend. Taxes do not fund spending and governments do not ‘borrow’ to fund spending. The Guardian must know this.

There is a magic money tree #uk #money #election2024 #nationaldebt youtube.com/shorts/PYj4Yvf… Any politician who says there is no magic money tree is not telling the truth. There is. It’s called the Bank of England, and they can tap it for cash whenever they want - so long as they keep inflation in mind.

I'm not talking much about the general election tax debate. Because it's irrelevant. The few £bn being discussed is dwarfed by the actual tax UK tax increases over the last few years, and the further tax increases we'll almost certainly see in the future. Grumpy thread:

What do we want?
More money for public services
How do we fund it?
By passing a supply bill and approving the spend.
The end.

What do we want? More money for public services How do we fund it? By tiering reserve remuneration for banks holding money overnight at the Bank of England Opaque? Precisely- that’s a benefit in a deeply suboptimal world.. My column on.ft.com/4ecCM48

1. The Bank of England sets the interest rate, not the markets
2. All govt spending is unfunded. HMGov is a currency issuer not a currency user.
3. A govt deficit is a non-gov surplus. Treating govt finances like a household is the worst thing Labour can do. It will kill people

Has @SuellaBraverman read the news? A few days ago you said to my face there was no evidence of a genocide. The ICC have just accused Israel of:
- CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY
- STARVATION
- WILFUL MURDER
You and your friends in government ARE war criminals. Those are the facts!

'Black music arriving after WW2 is a lie'
The first major exhibition documenting 500 years of Black music in Britain opens at the British Library and aims to challenge the timeline on when the Black presence in British music history began.

Dear Tory voter, thank you for impoverishing our nation.

@LBC @mrjamesob If this had come from an employee, they would have been fired by now.
The BoD should take action along with a statement from the government, no excuses for such abhorrent and racist comments.

'So he's not racist, because he's been to the Caribbean?'
@mrjamesob reacts to Lord Marland and Mel Stride's 'feeble' defence of donor Frank Hester after he said Diane Abbott made him 'want to hate all black women'.

Outrageous
The most disrespected person is the Black woman. The most unprotected person is the Black woman. The most neglected person is the Black woman. The trauma and fear we feel as Black women is real. Still we rise
The police must act

“You see Diane Abbott on the TV, and you just want to hate all black women because she’s there, and I don’t hate all black women at all, but I think she should be shot.”

“…his criticism had nothing to do with … colour of skin.”
Absolute train wreck of an apology.

Frank Hester OBE@HesterObe
Statement regarding recent media reports: Frank Hester accepts that he was rude about Diane Abbot in a private meeting several years ago but his criticism had nothing to do with her gender nor colour of skin. The Guardian is right when it quotes Frank saying he abhors racism, not least because he experienced it as the child of Irish immigrants in the 1970’s. He rang Diane Abbott twice today to try to apologise directly for the hurt he has caused her, and is deeply sorry for his remarks. He wishes to make it clear that he regards racism as a poison which has no place in public life.
