Down with the UK state's accursed sugar tax (“Soft Drinks Industry Levy"). Aspartame, my arse! Bring back proper fizzy pop!

There’s basically no price differentiation in the entire bottom half of the labour market and then people act surprised when gluts and shortages emerge. Obviously, when all jobs pay the same, people will choose between them based solely on factors like which jobs are nicer to do.

>I'm not on benefits
>Paying a rent from the 90s
Many such cases.

A lot of nominally anti-immigration people have a really bad mental model of the world, and they don't really understand on a visceral level what the population levels of India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines etc look like - there is a de facto *infinite* supply of these people and by simple entropic logic they will get *everywhere* in the absence of extremely strict controls at both ends.

No one is coming to save you. What a terrible judgment on our social contract. Stabbed at work, no ambulance, had to try to drive herself to hospital, crashed and died.

If you’re a woman of colour in the Twenty First Century and all your credentials are from academia and the NGO sector then that is exactly the same as having zero credentials.
Leftists think they can invent the Global Chair in Strategic Partnership at the Foundation for International Fairness, appoint an 85 iQ ranting maniac obsessed with stealing from the taxpayer, pay them for two Zoom meetings a month, and think that suddenly, magically makes them an intellectual.
A 17 year old plumber’s apprentice knows more about economics than Faiza Shaheen.
Being in the Blob only makes you an expert in being a spiteful, grasping parasite.

We hope you enjoy the programme.”

And for clarity, Blount and Blunt are pronounced the same way. But I simplified it to Blunt as I was tired of people rhyming my name with “count”.

British politicians like to think we’re global leaders, setting trends and precedents (net zero, infinite asylum, giving up Chagos islands, AI safety institute, the NHS); but in reality nobody is copying us because they can see how terrible the outcomes are.

One of my favourite quotes, from when a British MP learnt that no other country in the world has a scheme like ours.
This @WSJ piece on the UK's runaway disability benefits is something else. Great color from @MaximColch & @davidluhnow

Teachers have been saying this since I was a kid in the 1960s. I was terribly bored learning about peasant lives, because peasant lives were and are terribly boring.

“You will never, ever know what a lovely country this was,” wrote Geoffrey Prater, a Second World War veteran, in 2006. In a letter to journalist Nicholas Pringle, he recalled how his brother was killed by a parachute mine while fire-watching in Stratford in October 1940; how he himself served in North Africa and Italy with the Royal Tank Regiment; and how, in late 1944, his mother wrote to tell him that a V1 had destroyed their home and everything in it.
Six decades later, he looked back on what they had sacrificed. “I am not going to comment on our country today,” he wrote, declaring his love for Queen and country. His letter ended simply: “Was it all worth it? No.”
Prater was not alone. Last November, 100-year-old Royal Navy veteran Alec Penstone told ITV’s Good Morning Britain: “I can see in my mind’s eye those rows and rows of white stones.” He recalled the hundreds of friends who had given their lives. “For what? The country of today? No, I’m sorry. The sacrifice wasn’t worth the result that it is now.”
Penstone, who died in May, seemed to bewilder ITV host Kate Garraway, who patronisingly offered an “Oh, I’m sorry” in the tone one might use to console a child who had lost a game of football.
Garraway’s co-host Adil Ray was downright rude, abruptly demanding: “What do you mean by that though?”
To answer that question, I have produced a documentary featuring the generation who remember Britain before mass immigration, exploring how the country has transformed within a single lifetime.

Ninety years ago, Britain was top nation. Its population was ~99% white British; today it is 74%. By the 2060s, we will likely be a minority.
I interviewed those who grew up in Britain’s heyday and witnessed its decline and demographic transformation.

Entirety of the Online Safety Act 2023
Complete abolishment of non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs) and soon to be ASBOs for speech offences.
Until all of these things are gone, we will continue to see members of the public harassed, arrested, prosecuted and sometimes jailed, for things they have said online.
Britain does not have free speech.

“In the early 2060s, the white British will become a minority within the United Kingdom,” if immigration trends continue, warns demographer @MorlandDemog.
He says Britain has changed more in his adult lifetime “than in the preceding thousand years”. In Brent, where he grew up, white Britons are now “perhaps 15% of the population”.
“This is completely unprecedented.”

This is how the filth manage to live with themselves. In a long press release, not a single mention of escorting illegal immigrants to their warm, taxpayer-funded beds. It's all fluffy stuff about "partner agencies" and "safe environments".
This is Orwellian double-speak, telling themselves they are the good guys, "ensuring the safety of our local communities".

At this stage we are witnessing the Labour government and police helping facilitate mass law-breaking by mostly young men arriving on our South Coast.
The State itself is enabling a breakdown in the Rule of Law, and using the awesomeness of the power at their disposal to do it.
Dunvallo Molmutius 🏴🇬🇧 retweeted
It just doesn’t seem real, does it? This is the level of resources the state is giving to around 120 illegal migrants who have just broken into Britain. Remember this the next time they complain about a lack of police resources or numbers.
