Ironically, under UK law, Vance has the ability to claim this sign makes him anxious, and the police would show up at the door of the van driver. It's only Vance's principles that prevent this happening. So Vance is indeed correct.

The dumbest part of this is that France runs a majority of its energy via nuclear, so running AC has zero emissions. We need to stop equating energy reduction with emissions reductions. It's so stupid.

Apple's new "Crush" ad (let's call it "2024") is a visual & metaphorical bookend to the 1984 ad. 1984: Monochome, conformist, industrial world exploded by colourful, vibrant human 2024: Colourful, vibrant humanity is crushed by monochrome, conformist industrial press

Literally this, but as though articulated by a children's television show host.

So, to summarise, the UK has: - A Technology Minister who doesn't grasp the basics of the internet - An Energy Security Minister who is a zealot for the least reliable forms of energy - A Home Secretary who isn't interested in a vast rape conspiracy that's been running for decades - A Chancellor who doesn't understand the economy - A Safeguarding Minister who isn't interest concerned about Rape Gangs - A Foreign Secretary who doesn't understand other countries - An Attorney General who is not interested in representing British interests - A Prime Minister who can't make decisions Did I miss anything?

Ultimately I suspect people hate Elon because his companies demonstrate the people just fixing problems works far better than activists just complaining about problems.

I seem to have upset people by pointing out that if the 70m people in the UK, only 32m pay income tax. Of those 32m, only about 9m are net contributors to tax. So in our hypothetical street, just over 13% of houses put in more than they take out... and other households resent them.

Sorry, the Western world collectively turning away from nuclear was the dumbest ideological decision. (And yes, it was ideological.)

That's about the shape of it.

What's amazing about the current censorship moment in the UK is that you have to walk past a statue of George Orwell as you enter the BBC which is inscribed with this quote: "Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."

This chart might look like a chart of CO2 emissions but it's not. It's a Rorschach Test. For some reason, otherwise intelligent Brits will look at it and conclude that: - China is doing an amazing job building renewables - the UK is a unique villain because of "historic emissions" - China's emissions are set to decline... next year The reactions are utterly bizarre, it's a cult.

There should be professional consequences for people who sign public letters like this and are proven so comprehensively wrong.

Their debts don't get "cancelled" they get picked up by other energy customers. Why the fuck do we keep rewarding shitty behaviour?

This happens EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Denise Coates deliberately structures her salary package so that she pays the maximum amount in tax. And all she gets for it is a kicking from the idiot Left.

Lol "Tax avoidance schemes" at £125k. Aside from 'put more into your pension' there are no tax avoidance schemes on PAYE income you clown.

IMO the biggest thing holding back mass building and development in the UK is that the last time the UK went on an enormous surge of building, they built stuff like this. Architects like this stuff, normal people hate it:

Dune 2 is great and all, but why do we never hear anything about a spice production futures market? Or why didn't the Atreides family sell a bond based on their future cashflows from production of spice to buy a bigger military and therefore do a better job of protecting Arakis?

I moved to the UK from Australia 20 years ago last month to advance my career. At the time the UK was a place to build a future. During my time here I've earned pretty well, built a life and paid a LOT of tax. Absolutely no way 2005 me would move to 2025 UK. UK is done.

At a certain point you realise that Capitalism is a system that allows you to be wealthy without reducing my opportunity to be wealthy. This happens because the system grows the pie. What a remarkable thing that is. What sort of psycho would oppose that?
