Hey @AldiUK this letter you’ve sent my son is intimidating. You never mentioned to him that he was over paid, threatening him with debt recovery action and asking for immediate payment (on a date 2 weeks before you’ve even sent the letter) is awful. You made the mistake not him.

British food security is one of those things people only notice when something goes wrong 🤷

I love this example of vintage game graphics rendered on their intended target, a CRT, vs. modern pixel-perfect emulation. On the CRT they look much more depthy and almost more detailed as you brain fills in the blurred gaps From this neat article: vgdensetsu.tumblr.com/post/1…

Normalise food looking like food! Who agrees? 🙋‍♂️

This one man paid £330m in tax last year. His single decision to leave the country means that Healey will have to find 3/5ths of the projected annual revenue from the entire family farm tax.

You can’t beat proper, real British beef! 🥩 🇬🇧

RT @londonette: I can’t help but think about another young academic, Pete Newbon, who was hounded mercilessly by the far left after making…

Most people are economically illiterate, and it’s destroying Britain. We think we’re a top-tier rich nation, but on a per capita basis, we’re not even in the top 20. Instead of arguing and further dividing the country over how to slice a shrinking pie, we need to focus on what actually creates wealth and productivity because taxing wealth won't fix a nation that has stopped producing it.

🤔😁

How freaking cool does the Saturn dual stick look?

Evercade's physical cart system means you: A) Own the game B) Can play the game anytime C) Have a curated selection of games to play and not be overwhelmed by choice! Which is good becuase there's still four more carts for 2026 and the next one will be announced very soon!

There is nothing Burnham will do to rescue the economy or protect our borders. He is ideologically incapable of taking the necessary action. Huge cuts to public spending and incentives for business/growth aren’t in Labour’s DNA. Nor will he leave the ECHR to protect British girls from illegal migrants. So we will limp along with “good vibrations” and Manchesterism in what millions can feel is a recession. It’s destroying people. And we have another 3 years of it.

Gary’s theory is that the cause of wealth inequality is wealth inequality. In his Oxford thesis he claims that wealthy people become rich, buy assets and then use their passive income to buy more and more assets. He also claims that the rich don’t pay taxes like the rest of us. If his theory was correct and the UK was experiencing a wealth inequality crisis the share of wealth held by the top 1% would be rising. It’s not - it’s been stable for decades. The two reasons we are seeing issues at the bottom of the economic pyramid is because of technology and low skilled migration. Technology is replacing entry level jobs and to the degree that there are entry level jobs the UK now has a large population of low skilled migrants competing for these jobs. Those two factors put massive downward pressure on people at the lower end of the economy. What we are seeing is millions of young people who are economically inactive. Millions of people whose only economic opportunity is to claim any available government benefits. It has nothing to do with the rich. The cost of housing has also risen. It’s not because a tiny group of elites buy up houses. It’s because the government had a decade of low interest rates and stimulus and an aging population don’t want to sell their homes and pay stamp duty on a smaller place. We actually have over 9M homes with 2+ spare rooms. Rich people are not interested in owning a 3BR terraced home in the midlands. It’s easy to blame the rich for the problems we see but the truth is hard to hear… The UK is only surviving because we still have about 3M high earners who are paying historically high taxes. Actually just 300,000 people (1 in 100) are paying a third of the taxes and 30,000 of them (1 in 1000) are paying 10% of the tax bill. In a country with 70M people a few football stadiums of hard working, responsible, enterprising people are paying disproportionate taxes and demonising them isn’t helpful or based on any accurate data.
