Imagine investing £68 million of pension money in a company planning to build wind farms.
Years later, no wind farms have been completed.
Yet the company has now distributed £60 million in dividends.

Marcus Aurelius understood the fleeting nature of human existence when he said, “You will be forgotten either way. So live in such a manner that, while you remain, you belong to yourself.” Stop sacrificing your authenticity for the approval of people who are equally temporary. Their opinions will fade, and so will their memories of you. The real tragedy isn’t being forgotten after death, it’s living a life that was never truly yours.

If you asked anyone at HMRC what Adam Smith's four canons of taxation are, I doubt they would know.
In any case, they are that taxes should be:
1. equal and proportionate.
2. convenient.
3. certain.
4. economic.
On 4, the point is that the cost of raising the tax should be ctually reaches the treasury closely matches what was taken in the first place.

This Story Will Make Your Blood Boil. 😡
Duncan called into Jeremy Vine to talk about benefits. He’s 56, paid into the system since he was 18, and recently had to take six months off work after being diagnosed with cancer and needed help. He was refused. He got nothing. No help at all. He’s now back at work while still fighting cancer, and he wants to know why. He says what’s the point of the system if it isn’t there when you actually need it?
Jeremy actually asked a decent question for once: if he’s paid tax all his life, why isn’t he at the front of the queue to reclaim his own money when he runs into trouble? Why does the system seem to prefer people who have never paid any tax at all?
Good question. Somebody should be made to answer it. The welfare bill is bigger than ever, anyone and everyone seems to be claiming. Strangers turn up in boats and get given everything for free, yet a man who has worked all his life, paid into the system, and is genuinely ill gets turned down when he needs help. How is that fair? It’s not. It’s a disgrace!

Oil?? what about the endless money printing and reckless QE before and worse since COVID? That has debased the currency and driven inflation. The fact the Govt is killing private business and growing the parasite state just adds to the disaster

Worth remembering re the BoE move, that it's mostly about oil/energy costs, and the last two days have seen those change rapidly. Note too though that it highlights UK's ridiculous energy fragility - your mortgage is rising because our MPs refuse to prioritise energy security.

Just dealt with the most retarded Yookay moment
>want to rent countryside cottage
>I make 30x the monthly rental price salary wise
>I have flawless credit, countless references from landlords and 7x the full years rent just sitting in my bank account
>they want my tax returns. I don’t Legally don’t pay tax as I’m a non UK tax resident. Explain my great income though.
That doesn’t suffice
“uhh sir that’s not good enough for us, we want proof of income
>offer them notarized bank statements from an accountant
“Uhh no we need tax returns”
Losing my shit. I offer to simply pay the full years rent upfront.
“uhh under new UK law we can’t let you pay a full years rent upfront. Only 1 months rent deposit maximum”
Fucking retarded. You want to minimize risk but I am giving you a full year upfront
>I ask how foreigners get a place if they’re freshly here
“You need a guarantor who pays UK tax, has a normal wagie job and makes £30k/year”
>I can’t find a single British friend who hasn’t left the UK because they got rich, isnt self employed, or isn’t broke / jobless.
>Discover companies can guarantee your rent for you for like £1k, whatever.
“sir it has to be an individual from a good standing position in the community as well, no companies allowed”
The property has been on the market for 1.5 months with numerous spelling errors like “decebmer” and “evitoment”
The UK is retarded. I could buy the cottage for cash if it was for sale. I hate this place.

🚨 free information is under direct threat.
From today you might see a lot less uncomfortable (for government) political news, including protests and riots, even abroad.
Ofcom’s new “CRISIS RESPONSE” rules came into force yesterday.
Under the Online Safety Act, social media platforms must now have systems ready to rapidly respond to surges of illegal or harmful content during a crisis…. They decide when a crisis is occurring.
Ofcom explicitly says events OVERSEAS can qualify if they create a serious threat to public safety in Britain. (Think riots)
Large platforms must also have dedicated communication channels with the police, allowing rapid coordination during a crisis. (So police can flag content directly for takedown.)
And the public doesn’t even have an automatic right to see internal crisis protocols or reviews.
Who decides what we’re allowed to see when the world is in turmoil? … ultimately it’s an unelected quango 🚨

📣“When even someone as relatively sensible as Reynolds believes that employers are a class that don’t work for a living but somehow live off the backs of ‘working people’ then it shows the scale of Labour’s inability to grasp even the basics of wealth creation and growth – and thus the scale of the problem for our economy.”
