Founders Tax? So you get penalised and taxed for taking all the risk and starting a business?

I think Rupert Lowe might be on the money (interview above) where it's deliberate destruction.

Well to be fair, capital gains tax is waived for the first million. That’s where founders tax comes in. It’s currently 14%, soon to be raised to 18%. So there is a relative incentive. I would argue it should be more particularly in an economy that’s struggling to generate new businesses

Is he racist then?? What the fk are we doing??

 

[Kieran]

He’s absolutely talking sense, isn’t he? I can never understand why these open border fetishists can never think beyond this, to understand the consequences. It’s almost like they’re, um, happy to progress their own destruction..

World Wide Wresting in Suits. And the masses still believe it's real.

not surprised. The whole point of removing the titles was to leave open the possibility of this without besmirching the royal family

Maybe they'll also strip him of his fake name and he can revert to Andrew Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

I was a Royalist once... What a successful brainwashing experiment that was. Makes me shudder thinking about it.

The Social Media ban for Under 16s has already been introduced in Oz.

I think it's a fantastic idea. I just think the point about 5yr olds allowed to change their gender is interesting. Although to be fair that's not happening in the UK I don't think. But I could well imagine this type of government falling into that sort of trap

This is probably the most weird and disturbing thing I’ve read in a while. And the last few years have been weird.
