She defo crashed the economy. Resilience systemically and stress testing is so much more robust post 2008 that it’d take a lot to see those events again (not impossible obvs). I and many others won’t be forgetting the night of Friday 23 sept 2022 in a hurry, there were some crazy and scary scenes and scenario planning. She should be in court for treason imo

Yeh and the law is an ass. She will be declaring and paying (presumably) the correct amount of tax as per law, with a few judgement calls in there I’m sure, which her husband is fully involved and influential in setting. And we’re about to sack her husband very shortly!

If she was even paying 5% of the tax she really should be paying it would be the tories biggest marketing tactic of this election. Reverse engineering means we kinda do know what she pays, f all. Govt set the rules and we set govt, she might be doing the ‘right’ thing as it stands but she’ll be doing the right thing in California in a few weeks time after we sack her husband

Net worth of around £650m, so reasonable to assume annual passive income alone at 5% of £32.5m. So at a marginal tax rate of around 33% she should be paying min c.£10m tax. Akshata is not paying £10m of tax

Season starts 17 aug. 27 July is too early for a home friendly. They’ll still be on camp in July I’d imagine

All in context. The crux of the scheme is send people to a safe country. You allow your waste to be exported to Malaysia and turkey to be burned and poison the local communities. You buy petrol that has been subject to flaring and kills kids in the area You make tens of thousands of pounds per year whilst billions around the world near die of hunger on c.$1 a day. You are not evil, neither is sunak. He’s just an incompetent idiot

Fair enough, appreciate the response

Ok fair enough, you are the only person I will believe when moaning about the rich and 'don't they have enough' You should give speeches!! Better than all the life coaches or inspiration mentors out there, you're actually walking your talking

Haha I'm joking, enjoy, and that also answers my question about what base you eventually got to. Congrats

And you still call it a date!! No longer a date after all bases have been achieved surely? Or are you still working towards third base...

Would be nice to hear from some Tory voters though, without them being chased off of this thread. Struggling to think of why anyone, in any demographic or age group, would vote for them. I am reasonably sure they will get more than one vote on July 4, so would be good to hear from anyone who is a real person as to why they are voting that way.

You wouldn't though, or at least you do not know that. By earning average wage in this country you are likely amongst the top 5% of global earners, probably in the top 0.1% of the richest people that have ever lived. Billions of people across the world will say why do you need a car, alcohol, meals out, takeaways, a TV, new clothes, a holiday, central heating, someone to cut your hair, junk food that adds no calorific value, a garden etc etc. We live in extreme and unnecessary luxury and always want more. You will not be saying no to a promotion or pay rise at work

Would hope this generation isn’t as sensitive and a massive snowflake like @David Hankey and faces up to their responsibilities instead of blaming others. We still have time. Starting on July 4 by delivering a historic and unanimous rejection of the status quo

You were the generation that was handed everything from those who fought in the wars, and you left nothing for those after you. That’s how baby boomers will be remembered, that’s how sunak will be remembered on July 5 2024 onwards. Guilty

Totally, there are anomalies of course. But the fact is the baby boomers inherited everything and passed on nothing. That incompetence will not be forgotten in the history books. My generation will oversee the unwinding of the global climate regulatory system and the extreme carnage that will follow, and be held responsible for it. Fact. We are each responsible.

Agreed and the moral argument is really interesting, morbidly fascinated to see how that plays out as it will be in our lifetime. Baby boomers are arguably responsible for the unprecedented and historic decline in this country into decrepit decay. Do any of them care about their role in our fall from global superpower to irrelevant island? Not a jot, iTs ThE ToRyS fAuLt being the prevailing view. But baby boomers will be remembered for their unforgivable failure and stunning incompetence long into history. I hope our generation takes more responsibility as the world continues to burn

The theory of climate migration is strong and inarguable, but I don’t see it happening in reality. 10k’s already die per year (indirectly I’d guess) through changing patterns. That will continue this summer. Yet people still moving to Miami/California and happily booking holidays to Greece, Spain, Italy in high rush months like august. Either don’t know or care And if mass movement does occur, we’ll just go to war, kill them aol and annex our lands off. If the British public happily cheer on Saudi and Israel in their wars in Yemen and Gaza, there’s no way we’d stand in the way of something that’ll directly affect us

Disagree. Carling and peroni are unmistakeable for me. They stand out like a cider

Or X’s or whatever else they now call the thing that makes dirty money clean for Elon

Totally agreed. It is happening here. This thread is the perfect example. It’s bursting at the seams with tweets. No policy notes, guidance or informed ways to vote. Tweets

England have commercial agreements in place to play a certain amount of matches per year, and there’s only so many international breaks to play them in. Good chance to flog a few away kits as well

They defo want to lose, Sunak has his new life in California sorted with the school places confirmed and a NED role at Blackrock in the bag. Nice bit of chill earning top dollar and 'former UK PM' forever etched on his CV, his hourly rate can now double. Likewise the next four years are going to continue to be very tough, inequality will skyrocket and standards will slip to becoming more third world, against a backdrop of general malaise from the British public. The Tories are best off starting their 2028 campaigning now, along the message of 'labour incompetence' you mention above.

I obvs know it costs around £80 pm, but when I see it spelled out, it still amazes me. £80 per month!!!! They really can sell sand to the Saudis

Tamil prince for me is the best new Indian (not Bengali curry house, actual Indian) in London atm. Pleasantly surprised at how good it was given location. Didn’t know Tamil crown existed, googled and it’s got a great location just off coleBrooke row, added to the list, thanks

Friday 5 July gonna be a helluva day. Post election so no real attention on work and celebrating a Tory landslide defeat. Then England’s QF kicks off at 5pm so perfect excuse to get to the pub at 1pm. Just pray for dry and bright weather
