If I could place a 5year Leap on the $SPX being <2000 I would, and the only concern I would have that I’d be wrong would be a Hyperinflation crack up crash.

Berkshire's earnings fell 55% this quarter and the market has only fallen this far.

Generational short opportunity.

Grad jobs have reduced by 50%

Yet in the same time - the govt have awarded grad visas to

90,153 Indians
42,220 Nigerians
And 30,464 Pakistanis

Labour are taxing away our jobs, whilst forcing us to compete with hundreds of thousands of foreigners.

A betrayal of British young people

A tax that raises just £400 million a year but requires officials to value homes, inspect interiors and fine owners who refuse entry is not serious fiscal policy.

It is an ideological performance: maximum intrusion, minimum revenue.

When did owning your own home become grounds for state surveillance?

It’s just hit me - nothing in this leaflet says rape or paedophilia are wrong. Unacceptable. Never to be tolerated. Just that UK laws mean a migrant COULD face a prison sentence. Basically, the most horrendous acts are treated as mere cultural divergences. Truly, truly vile.

[Jamais Vu 🏉 @boot15_vu]

Fair play to @TiceRichard for giving the establishment media an economics lesson.

But more importantly, he asks the pertinent question:

Why did they relentlessly berate Liz Truss over the mini-budget, yet remain strangely silent now the markets are performing even worse under Starmer and Burnham?

If the markets were the test then, surely they’re the test now.

Funny how the rules change depending on who’s in Downing Street. 🤔

Young people have basically stopped going out.

Pubs are closing week after week. Drinking is down across every age group under 30. Nightclubs have been shutting for a decade.

It gets explained as a health thing, and some of it is. But a pint is five or six quid, a night out with a taxi home is sixty, and that's before you've eaten anything.

Being priced out of your own social life is a strange thing for a country to shrug at.

In a few weeks, the national populist Alternative for Germany will send shockwaves through Europe by taking power at state elections 🇩🇪

It will be a seismic, historic moment for Europe.

The 'firewall' blocking the AfD will collapse. Europe's populist wave will reach entirely new heights.

EU bureaucrats will likely have a meltdown. There will probably be a renewed push to try and ban the AfD.

Why is it happening? The legacy media will once again tell you the AfD are Nazis & extremists.

But this is nonsense.

What they won't tell you is what the political, media, and cultural class has done to Germany.

-> Nearly 16 million foreign nationals arrived in the last 10 years alone.

-> Some 6.5 million migrants were added to Germany's population, net, in just a decade.

-> The number of people with a migrant background soared from 13 million in 2005 to 21 million today.

-> More than one in three 35-year-olds in Germany, 36%, now have a migrant background.

-> Islamism has also gone mainstream. There were nearly 20 terror attacks over the last decade and at least 10 major attacks thwarted since 2023 alone.

->The total number of Islamist crimes has surged from 134 in 2022 to nearly 1,000 last year

-> There are now 28,000 Islamists living in Germany, according to official data/The Times.

Ordinary Germans do not have to live like this. They never asked for demographic change on this scale.

And if you ask AfD voters what they think is the top issue facing their country, 82% say immigration.

If you don't want the AfD winning state elections and leading the NATIONAL polls then end the policy of mass immigration, control the borders, and root out Islamism.

Britain’s water strategy in a nutshell:

▪️Sell off 35 reservoirs since 2017.
▪️Build no new reservoirs for 34 years.
▪️Approve 500 data centres that drink water like camels on a bender.

Then, the second the sun shows its face for a few weeks in summer, the water companies slap hosepipe bans on us.

Ah yes. The sacred Great British summer ritual: standing in a parched garden while a giant data centre in Slough is quietly necking enough water to keep a small town’s lawns green forever…so that someone in California can generate another AI image of a cat wearing a monocle.

But don’t worry. When your roses finally croak, just remember: the cloud never goes thirsty.

Priorities, Britain.

Together they represent one of the biggest transfers of wealth from households and businesses to the Treasury in decades - with no noticeable improvement in public services.

Whether you're a business owner employing staff, a parent paying school fees, a farmer planning succession, an entrepreneur building wealth or simply someone trying to save for retirement...

You keep less of what you earn.
You keep less of what you invest.
You leave less to your family.

Death by a thousand cuts is becoming tax policy.

We are worried these men will rape, so let's give them an underclass of women it's acceptable to rape.

This is why they pretended the grooming gangs weren't happening, they thought working class girls were an acceptable group to absorb the violence.

Your stomach runs at pH 1.5, acid that strips flesh and kills what lives in rotting meat. A lion is nearer 3.6. You are closer to a vulture than to any ape alive.

You have no rumen, no cud, nowhere to park grass for two days while bacteria take it apart.

Your colon is short and quiet. A chimp's is a fermentation vat and he chews six hours a day to keep it running.

Sixty per cent of your gut is small intestine, where fat and protein go in. Sixty per cent of his is colon, where plants get fermented.

Your gut shrank to pay for your brain: sixty per cent fat, a fifth of your energy at rest, the most expensive organ any animal has ever run on leaves and never could.

You cannot make B12, no plant makes it either, and running out strips the insulation off your nerves for good.

You cannot make creatine in the amounts your muscle and brain want. That comes out of red meat.

You convert plant omega-3 to DHA at about one per cent, and DHA is the substance your retina and grey matter are physically built from.

You cannot trust beta-carotene for vitamin A. Millions carry a variant that wrecks the conversion and go their whole lives never knowing.

You take iron from meat at fifteen to thirty-five per cent through a receptor built for the version wrapped in blood. From spinach, about two.

Your teeth have no grinding plates and your jaw will not swing sideways like a cow's.

Your eyes face forward. That is what a hunter is given. A prey animal never gets it.

Acid built to dissolve carcasses, a gut too short to ferment a plant, and a brain too expensive to run on one.

Everything in your biology is screaming at you to eat meat.

And you insist on a kale smoothie and a tablet.

I had a quick look at this.

The Gatehouse closed after its former owner died. A local community group then tried to buy it through its Asset of Community Value status, raising money to create a community-owned pub.

But the group lost out in what was described as a “blind sale”. The later planning application identifies Norwich Muslim Centre also known as Norfolk Muslim Community Association, charity number 1205465 as the applicant and claims sole ownership of the Grade II-listed building.

BREAKING NEWS: This is the garbage BBC hit piece I was asked to do an interview for 😂

I refused.

It’s extremely poorly investigated and written.

I could tell the journalist Sian Vivian hadn’t done any homework on repurposed drugs and had no interest to learn.

This is a perfect example of why no one trusts BBC anymore.

Inc "allah is king" and "Satan is king".

But Jesus is banned.

Care to explain Coca-Cola???

The Fabians chose Fabius Maximus as their eponymous hero because he cut off all the water supply and food, for miles around, so that Hannibals, once unstoppable army, could not fight.

His strategy was to avoid battles he knew he could not win, instead he would destroy crops that Hannibal could use, deny forage and supplies, harass foraging parties, and force Hannibal's army to live off increasingly scarce local resources.

Desperate and starving, they either had to surrender or die or retreat.

The Fabians choice of hero has to be fully understood to realise what is being done to us.

Farming is being destroyed, the water companies are limiting thr amount of water we have access to, every acre of useful arable land is being covered in solar panels or new builds, the population increased to unmanageable amounts, every drop of free-flowing water is polluted and anyone trying to clear it is prosecuted for doing so, our fishing industry has been decimated, and knowledgeable fishermen forced away - their skills and knowledge lost forever.

Start seeing what is around you, what is being done. Everything is connected.

I can't believe that the entitlement and narcissism of some scroungers has reached such levels that they can actually post such a question without being embarrassed or ashamed. Spanish citizen moves permanently back to Spain and thinks its okay to claim benefits off the British government in perpetuity if possible.
