And he didn't even wear a suit. Dossing around like he's in some jacamo advert, why did he think anyone would take him seriously, he needed to show some respect like leaders that visit the Whitehouse are expected to.

Peds trumped me on the suit front!

I assume the opiner in question is that Gary bloke who looks like he should live on a narrow boat at Hackney Wick and keep his economic illiteracy to himself? I can’t watch him. I can’t even run the risk of watching him.

Here’s a start:

1. If we must have centrally issued currency, at least return to a gold standard. 

2. Scrap planning restrictions. 
 

It’ll undo the land monopoly and give people space to breathe and asses the rest of the problem.

You once said something along the lines of "Don't take financial advice from anyone who doesn't own a yacht". If you can get over your initial scepticism you will likely find that he makes perfect sense.

Perhaps he reckons that he's at war, and deep down admires the Zelensky chic. 

Hugo Boss will be turning in his grave.

I watched a twenty minute video of him that a friend sent me, with either an open and neutral mind or even a slight predisposition towards him (sixth form common room politics - yes please, Mick!). I was struggling to isolate any actual point he was making after about two minutes, the same as when I tried reading Marx et al. A red flag. If you can't explain something well, you don't understand it well. Then he got actively worse and just started being wrong about things. Don't ask me what. I've forgotten and I'm not going back to remember. He's right about the existence of inequality but moderately wrong about the cause and very wrong about the fix. Rubbish communist. No ideology. I'd have had time for him if he could talk about the building blocks but he can't.

What yacht does he have?

I don't know. He could afford a better one than me though.

Ah, the hippy idealists of a magical money tree where Americans are expected to cascade their hard earned money to every cause and country around the world.

 

How many hundred million was it to Nigeria before they stopped the USAID.

 

Oh we're starving well start growing food and less baby making instead of replying on charity and that tone deaf Irish muppet that needs his Sir removing.
