Rachel Reeves will reimburse British firms £5,000 per foreign worker in a bid to make the country more attractive
We have a million young people unemployed
Yet she will pay companies to hire foreigners over those young people
INSANE
How is this any different to my angry tweet?
I don’t advocate anyone be arrested for words. I’m a free speech absolutist.
However I’m not down with the two tier society we find ourselves in.
Neither are most and it’s fuelling people’s anger.
Breaking news for anyone who hasn't worked this out yet:
Cows are vegan.
Stay with me.
The cow eats the grass. The clover. The herbs. The wildflowers. The diverse, mineral-rich, organically grown plant matter you've been told to base your diet around.
The cow then, and this is the interesting bit, converts all of that plant material into complete protein, bioavailable haem iron, zinc, B12, the fat-soluble vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, creatine, and carnosine.
She does this with four stomachs. Which are considerably better at the job than yours.
The most efficient way to eat a plant-based diet, biologically speaking, is to let a cow do it first.
The cow is the blender.
The cow is performing the processing you cannot perform yourself, on a scale you could not approximate with the entire contents of a Whole Foods salad bar.
When you eat beef, you are eating a hyperconcentrated, grass-powered superfood that a committed vegan has spent eighteen months in a field assembling for you.
You're welcome.
Starmer is a lawyer. He has spent his life using the law to get what he wants. He believes power emanates from the law. He is wrong. Power emanates from the people. When the people are pushed far enough, the law becomes meaningless. Observance of the law is at the leisure of the people. It does not come as a mandate from Westminster.
Unless Starmer recognises this right now, he is going to take Britain into a place where he will be out of his depth. He keeps doubling down. He blames the frustrated and angry people of Britain for the consequences of his decisions.
Either he is phenomenally tone deaf, or he plans to deliberately inflame Britain in order to use it as a means of awarding himself more authoritarian powers. Neither will get him what he wants.
If he is tone deaf, then things will just keep getting worse. If he is Machiavellian, then he has miscalculated.
Awarding yourself more powers doesn't work when:
1. The people don't recognise your powers
2. You have alienated the police from the people and you lack the authority to enforce them
3. You have sowed mistrust of the judiciary among the people
4. You have emasculated your final backstop - the military.
The time for Starmer to act is now.
Step back from the constant escalation.
Recognise the mood of the country.
Acknowledge the concerns of the public.
Do something to address the problem.
Millions of us, 600 of you. If you think you're going to go toe to toe with the public, it's going to work out very bad for everyone involved.
Once the Rubicon has been crossed and the country descends into lawlessness, the law will be irrelevant.
A short tour of the 1990s supermarket, where the words fat-free functioned as a doctor's note.
- Fat-free cookies, sweetened to the point of toothache, eaten by the sleeve because the front of the box said they were fine.
- Fat-free salad dressing, which was sugar, water, and gum, poured over lettuce by people who had removed the olive oil for their health.
- Fat-free yoghurt, carrying more sugar per pot than a chocolate bar, sold in the health aisle with a sunrise on the lid.
- Fat-free half-and-half. A cream with the cream removed and corn syrup added. A contradiction sold in a carton.
- Fat-free cheese, which did not melt, did not taste of cheese, and bent like a roof tile.
- Low-fat cereal bars, glucose syrup pressed into a brick, marketed to children as the responsible breakfast.
Every one of these replaced a simple, ancient, fatty food that the body actually knew what to do with.
The fat came out. The sugar walked in to fill the gap. The waistlines did the rest.
We called it the health aisle. It was the widest aisle in the shop, it kept getting wider, and so did we.
@MIT_IO_@vivamjm@BritainUnbound I will, there has to be some more sane people out there that can pull me back from the precipice of dying with laughter. Enjoy your insanity. Toodle-do.
