He should at least have the decency to say ' I don't want to talk about it', rather than just ignoring your question.

After all if you add up all the time he's spent replying to your posts - it's into the hundreds of hours - whole weeks of your lives sharing thoughts with each other. And after all that he still won't engage honestly. 

I’d agree with that, if you are going to have strong opinions on taxation and make a lot of comments about people’s earnings, twin cab pick usage and tax, dayrates etc etc all over the forum then a simple question about what angle are you looking at it from ie role and employment status is not a huge ask. 
Maybe Gareth is right HMRC, i think they have rather a large office in Glasgow 🤔. Glasgow central 4min walk 🚶

Another point worth considering is that with the withdrawal of international aid and development, that the US loses what can reasonably be considered it's most valuable asset - soft power. 

 

Until Trump 2.0, the generally esteemed international position that the US held was largely as a result of the development programmes that it supported in the world's poorest communities. Much like the Chinese, the US sought to influence the development of economically emergent nations by way of USAID, and other agencies. It wasn't just a one-way flow of cash with nothing in return - it was mutually beneficial, even if it wasn't immediately apparent.

 

On that note, international development aid is also one of the most effective ways of keeping people in developing countries in their own countries. If you withdraw the support that they were dependent on, they are much more likely to become desperate and try to emigrate to a more economically developed country. 

So, Trump's anti immigration agenda would actually be served very well by supporting those prospective immigrants to stay put.

As a completely unrelated point, I was just thinking that the most amusing outcome of the Greenland issue would be if the Greenlanders decided that yes, they wanted to secede from Denmark but that they would like to hitch their wagon to Canada. I cannot think of a more effective F**k You to the US than that, and actually might make sense too as Canada is a fellow arctic nation and unlike the US administration, the Canucks aren't a bunch of self-serving, self-important, egotistical c**ts.

Soft power, are you having a laugh.

 

If the MSM are to be believed the USA and UK are hated, so value for money it's obviously not getting ANYTHING positive is it so why bother!
