  1. you and SP and recently Yourn come across as more civilized, but its the substance that counts. It's like Tommy R, now I'm no fan of extreme racism, but TR has a point, he may be offensive, but he is a man of substance, someone who doesn't want to see an ever increasing number of mosques in the UK. There are plenty of clever wordsmiths who are also human rights lawyers and would be happy using long words in court to prevent the illegal immigrant from being deported. They may have words like concomitant, apotheosis, vicissitude etc, but that doesn't make them any better than Tommy. And rather than just putting up with JDs way, you have to try to change him - you're basically saying to him 'you should think and behave more like we do' Bit like the fascists wanted everyone to think and behave like they did
  2. that is horrible - suggesting he lie low for a bit, just because you don't approve of the way he interacts At least he's vocal about the trouble a lot of foreigners cause - I mean look at this mess Mazyar Azarbonyad - sounds a bit foreign, Trump is even setting the stage for deporting US citizens Imagine some toe rag phone theif from London, born in UK, but still deported to El Salvador. That young lad has cost the taxpayers a fortune, and with a name like Mazyar it's got to have something to do with immigration. I mean immigration recently, not dating back from Roman times. We need offensive people like Trump and Farage and JD, to balance out all the Starmer types - Starmer would never insult people on a forum, but his whole government is an insult.
  3. Imagine living for this dopamine rush ffs "I do worry that too many execs, used to hitting targets, just love chasing the numbers on LinkedIn. Attracting thousands of likes and hundreds of new followers is a more immediate dopamine rush and, frankly, a great deal easier than achieving a return-on-investment metric."
  4. If your job is an irrelevance, maybe your opinions are too.
  5. well yeah, some of the social media places he trawls this stuff up from "For they that sleep with dogs, shall rise with fleas."
  6. There is a limited supply of building land and increasing demand. There are approx another 15 million people around now, since my parents bought their first home in 70s, when the UK population was about 55 million. Mostly immigration has increased the numbers, as UK birth rate has been below 2 for years, currently about 1.6 So this Wealth Tax to solve housing crisis - it makes no sense to me. Imagine how much land has had to be built on to make homes for those extra 15 million people compared to the seventies - there's the reason the house price/eatnings multiple has doubled. We need to learn to live without so many foreign workers. Farm hands used to be from here - too generous benefits and they wont get their hands dirty. There is plenty wrong with Trump's other policies, but in my view his immigration control is sensible.
  7. try searching 'IBC tank' on ebay, then use sort 'nearest first' at the moment there are some in Southsea Also on gumtree Edit - sorry I thought you meant for rainwater
  8. should have been supporting my local dealer should have been supporting my local butcher
  9. 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.
  10. 9k to buy and 9mph uphill, trendy looking mobility scooter
  11. illegal immigrants housed in wheelie bins instead of hotels - so a billionaire doesn't have to pay a wealth tax
  12. he probably wondered why Jonesie posted the link in this thread
  13. Am I? Lots of people have been all over his claims. Bullshit is he a billionaire. From the Financial Times who went and spoke to some of his former coleages what Gary has said what Gary's old workmates said other old workmates have described his media exploits as 'sad' - that was my view, and still is Gary Stevenson's ex-Citi colleagues say his debate was "sad" WWW.EFINANCIALCAREERS.COM Gary Stevenson is a star, but his former Citi colleagues are wary. It's not because of his arguments for higher tax.
  14. good to see Farage is not just another nodding dog “It’s quite right to aim for peace, but we can’t have a peace that turns Putin into a winner,” Farage told the BBC. And he said of Trump: “I would not be 100 percent with where his team is right now, absolutely not.” Trump’s giving Putin ‘far too much,’ says UK ally Nigel Farage – POLITICO WWW.POLITICO.EU Reform UK leader says any Ukraine peace deal has to be “equitable.”
  15. I don't like him at all, sorry - the idea that some trader spiv like that can teach people about economics is laughable. Warren Buffets late business partner Charlie Munger was well known as a voracious reader - a book with two legs sticking out the bottom. He recommended this book to learn economics; I haven't read it yet, but if I seriously wanted to learn economics this is where I would start. I much prefer dry informative textbooks to some would be celebrity/politician pushing a narrative. It is obvious his subject matter will be clickbait and help him monetise the channel, everyone loved Robin Hood
  16. someone is trying to pull the wool, pretending they know about something they don't
  17. that is only what you think, your interpretation, you make it sound like it is impossible or very unlikely that any fraud took place Personally I vote for the party and not the leader, at the last election I voted Conservative and would have done if it was Rishi, Boris, or even Liz
  18. what he posted could well be evidence of election fraud - why are you so sure it's not? You or I don't have any idea about it, let's be honest
  19. the 'former city trader' in that clip has it wrong, inequality is part of our evolution, it exists in all societies, even the most well known attempt to stamp out inequality (communism) didn't work, because the nature of the beast meant the administrators (Lenin, Stalin et al) took much more for themselves Surely the cost of benefits is more than the total wealth of everyone in the Sunday Times Rich list? I'm not saying bring back the workhouse, but the handouts are excessive. Dormitories are perfectly acceptable accomodation for the unemployed and would incentivize them to take any job they could find. In 2023/24 the UK government is expected to spend approximately 258.4 billion British pounds on benefits, compared with the previous year when benefit expenditure was 242.5 billion pounds
  20. It's your face and your windscreen - but in the event you were to go through it - the custom is to scrape you up into a van and present you to the hospital for repair, a costly repair on taxpayers money
  21. they want people to phone up tree contractors and try to sell them an app - if used correctly the app will bring the contractors unimaginable wealth and the business will almost run itself another example of clever people sitting in an office wanting to live of the sweat of manual workers
  22. is there a difference between a good idea and a sensible one? maybe head height is OTT, but providing you can get it off the stump without trapping your saw then progressively cutting the butt higher off the ground, even to waist height allows the whole weight of the tree to work in your favour, of course it can drop unexpectedly while you're cutting, my ways aren't intended for professional use, only for have a go sole traders
  23. pity it wasn't 5.3m - back to where they came from, or the US gets concreted over even quicker
  24. I can't see why dangerous tree work can be completed just by typing stuff online - there shouldn't be any need to go out into the real world
