Are you sure about that? Unless you’ve got some historical or political credentials, I’m going to assume you just haven’t heard of it being successful. Peaceful dialogue is rarely the start of things. It happens after you make it known that without it, there will be consequences.
If you don’t give a fuck, maybe prove it by ignoring it and moving on, instead of DECLARING IN ALL CAPS YOU DONT CARE ABOUT IT
Because otherwise, how it comes across as is “I find politics highly annoying/uncomfortable for some reason, but I also want people to know that about me!”
It’s lost. Keeps passing ridiculous laws that only effect 0.1% of people just to look like it’s doing something. On many occasions people charged for breaking these laws get to court, and the laws are then overturned by judges because they contradict another law.
I expect this is what will happen here, eventually, but it might take 7 years to happen
My mistake, s/b .org.uk, not .co.uk
But thats the blog… probably more relevant to go to https://taxingwealth.uk/
That’s kind of by design. Every country has a kind of ‘total value’ that effects IMF loans, World Banking, and general status. The UK is “worth” so much more on paper because of the exorbitant price of property; politicians and homeowners want to keep it high for that reason.
They don’t even need to increase income tax, is the thing. They could just give HMRC an extra 1bn in the budget, and HMRC would bring back 8bn thanks to all the extra investigative staff. They could put VAT on all financial services too, that would raise a few hundred million.
But the main thing would simply be to charge CGT at the same rate as income tax. That closes all sorts of loopholes when it comes to avoiding IHT etc.
taxresearch.co.uk has a TON of viable plans, that would raise tens of billions, but politicians tend to pretend those options don’t exist, because they’d annoy Rupert Murdoch
“we would like to thank the Doctors and contributors and survivors, and to apologise for not believing them when they said the BBC would never run a film like this.”
None of those things scream “crank” to me, other than the association with Galloway, but Murray has stated he has very different politics to him, they just agree on some key issues
I don’t mind vagina talk, but I do always feel like I’m hearing something I’m not meant to hear, becoming automatically shameful like I’m some kind of eavesdropping creepy perv.
It’s been educational though.
Bell Hooks gets quoted in the video FWIW
This YouTuber has created 4 astoundingly insightful videos about men. Patriarchal society fucks us up, either turning us into monsters or demanding a facade that runs so deep most of us forget it’s a facade. Even just articulating our feelings and mental health is a massive struggle.

Worth a watch by men and anyone who cares about men. And if you don’t care about men… well, that’s pretty typical of society at large, so don’t feel too guilty, but maybe you should start caring.
“Short” in universal terms, I guess
The ability to turn lead into gold just by touching it and saying a short incantation.
Same. Even with a LOT of lube I think this is going to sting

Had no idea about the US nukes. We’re going to be Russia’s first target, aren’t we :'(
Is it consistent though? Are all Chinese goods subject to the same refusal, or just planet-saving ones?
A “holy mackerel” if you see something surprisingly big
