@NotAuntBessies I can’t! I’m waiting for the last piece of info before I can! Otherwise I would have tonight. I have to be very careful! I’ve been warned and they know who I am!
Tomorrow, I will be releasing evidence that proves ISIS fighters have entered the UK on small boats in recent days.
I’ve been warned not to release this footage and information…
But I have no choice. The public needs to know.
🇩🇪 AfD Alice Weidel DECLARES the Abolishment of Ursula's European Union.
"This corruption, bureaucracy, interference and anti-democratic behaviour needs to be abolished!"
Do you agree with her?
A. Yes
B. No
Labour just voted to block North Sea drilling while energy prices surge.
Blocking Rosebank & Jackdaw isn’t climate policy—it’s economic self-harm.
Utter stupidity.

Cheers for the solid breakdown – spot on. Council tax isn't ring-fenced for bins alone; it's pooled funding for local services where social care often takes 50%+, followed by roads, police/fire, libraries, parks, and planning. Banding makes it scale with property value, on top of national taxes. Varies by council, but that's the core.
Why do I have to pay over £5,000 to have my bins emptied
Just because my house is bigger? Or in a different area?
It’s the same ‘service’ whether your house is worth £200K or £2 million
Up to £5,835 a year to get your bins emptied
Oh, and if I ALREADY pay a national tax, why am I paying a local tax on top?
Council tax is actually a wealth tax
@TinaMGLong@krassenstein Grok seems to think this video is genuine.
How sad if he goes back on his word to the people of Iran whom he asked to give they're lives in hope of overthrowing they're government.
BREAKING: Trump claims that Iran gave him a present:
“They gave us a present and the present arrived today. It was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. I’m not going to tell you what that present is but it was a very significant prize and they gave it to us.”
WTF!

@MickeyBlue1987@DOWybourne13@2147mill True, deposits help meet reserve rules. But banks still pay savers almost nothing (0.4%), lend/create at much higher rates, and keep the huge spread as profit on your money.
@ONation20249@DOWybourne13@2147mill Reserves & Safety Rules
Banks have to keep a certain amount reserves to handle everyday withdrawals, transfers, and payments to other banks.
Deposits give them a stable pile of money to meet those rules without constantly scrambling to borrow emergency cash from other banks
The average UK mortgage is £200,000 at 5% over 25 years.
Total repayment? £350,000.
You borrow £200K and pay back £350K.
£150,000 straight to the bank.
For nothing.
Then you pay to fix up the house.
Stuff breaks.
You pay insurance monthly.
Fees when/if you sell the property.
And we act like renting is throwing money away.
There is a strong argument for renting.
@MickeyBlue1987@DOWybourne13@2147mill Yes, banks create new deposits when they lend - BoE confirmed. But those loans are still backed by cheap deposits (0.4%) + bank capital at risk. Interest is profit on your money.
@ONation20249@DOWybourne13@2147mill Banks do not directly lend out your deposits. they operate on a fractional reserve system where they create new money—deposits—simultaneously when they make loans. When a bank approves a loan, it creates a new deposit in the borrower's account.
@MickeyBlue1987@DOWybourne13@2147mill No. Banks create money when lending - true. But they still use cheap deposits (0.4%) + their capital, then charge massive spreads as profit on your money.
@neilorpen@2147mill Credit cards are higher risk, yes. But they still fund them with cheap deposits (0.4%). The huge spread (20%+) is profit on other people’s money, not just “risk + perks”. Paying off monthly is smart but most people don’t.
But credit cards are high risk debt - additionally offer consumer purchase protection and ( insurance ) on purchases
Credit card debt/ fees is completely avoidable - just pay off end of the month
So I can’t criticise avoidable high fees on purchases - just with good financial planning
@MickeyBlue1987@DOWybourne13@2147mill BoE is right, banks create most money by lending. But they still risk capital on defaults & pay tiny rates on deposits (0.4-4%). Interest covers risk + profit on your money.
@DOWybourne13@ONation20249@2147mill This is confirmed by the Bank of England: banks are not mere middlemen passing on savers' money, the majority of money is created by commercial banks making loans. The old "money multiplier" model has been debunked as a misconception.
@neil45106205@RationeSolum@iamurbanaira@2147mill True, no major UK politician is pushing to directly cap normal bank lending rates right now. Closest is Nigel Farage/Reform UK - they want to stop the BoE paying interest to big banks on reserves (a big bank tax) and reform the system.
