  1. If your job is an irrelevance, maybe your opinions are too.
  2. well yeah, some of the social media places he trawls this stuff up from "For they that sleep with dogs, shall rise with fleas."
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. should have been supporting my local dealer should have been supporting my local butcher
  6. 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.
  7. 9k to buy and 9mph uphill, trendy looking mobility scooter
  8. illegal immigrants housed in wheelie bins instead of hotels - so a billionaire doesn't have to pay a wealth tax
  9. he probably wondered why Jonesie posted the link in this thread
  10. 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.
  11. 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.”
  12. 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
  13. someone is trying to pull the wool, pretending they know about something they don't
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. pity it wasn't 5.3m - back to where they came from, or the US gets concreted over even quicker
  21. 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
  22. anarchists arent allowed any direction, they are free from the burdens of dichotomy
  23. I was trying to find where the FC rules say about the garden exemption, can you link to it ? Without it taking up too much time of course
  24. this isn't an idea written from experience of big hung up roadside trees, more plenty of small ones, I did one the other day, and used the blocking method to get the butt off the ground and then a rope with me and the owner pulling with the hung up tree in mid air, it worked. I do have a T35 winch, but this was an add on job I'd not planned for. Now with a big tree like that I imagine blocking from the base out across the road cutting to head height from the side and then a pull rope (if gravity didn't shift it). Maybe they didn't even have a pull rope with them. A decent rigging line and perhaps a pulley for redirect and the tractor, plus the blocking method would have been my first thoughts - although I know when the crown in wedged in the severed butt of the hung up tree will not fall or be pulled down. At that point with the hung up tree suspended in mid air they could have said right f*ck it - pull in direction of severed stump of hung up tree and just fell the other one across the road too. They fell one too many trees, but make it back home
