I have a doppleganger! In Italy by the looks of things. Pictured in a huge wall picture in a local #cafenero !
The signs displayed by the different sets of protesters, at Epping & elsewhere, are telling. The locals have home-made signs - each one individual, thrown together hurriedly from cardboard etc. This indicates a group of individuals coming together impromptu to express their…
Switzerland 🇨🇭 Direct democracy: The Swiss are more involved in citizen political decision making by voting up to four times a year to decide government policies via referendums. Urgently needed in the UK. Let the people decide.
Yes. They'll offer anything they can get a % management fee on. They don't care if it goes up of down. That's client risk not theirs. See ESG funds
Milei suspended 80k disability pensions granted by the previous governments after beneficiaries failed to show up to the mandatory medical review. That was about 60% of disability pensions. Over 6k were going to dead people.
It’s taken years to build a society in Britain that works. A society of trust where people work and better themselves. A society where if you don’t work and don’t contribute to society, you’re worse off than those who do. That has been destroyed. It is being destroyed faster than…

The price of wind energy recently is three times the price forecast by @theCCCuk - the UK’s most absurd quango (after the OBR)👇
🚨BREAKING🚨 Maximum strike prices for Ed Miliband's missing wind auction are out. Gruesome. Offshore wind: £113/MWh Higher than last year. Highest in a decade. And that's before all the extra costs of grid, backup, and wasted wind. As a comparison, the average cost of…

Toyota is up +8% on the news of a 15% tariff. Why? It's simple. Ford, GM, Tesla, and all the other American manufacturers are going to be paying 50% more for their steel, 50% more for their copper, 25% more for their Canadian production, 25% more for their Mexican production,…
Wealth redistribution is a scam. Governments should be focusing on real wage growth.
Most of you are aware of ‘Big Ben’ - the name often given (erroneously) to the tower that houses the bell of the same name. But even some Londoners are unaware that his smaller brother exists - ‘Little Ben’ has been situated by Victoria Station since 1892… #london #history
