@TheSimonEvansX @ClintBond Was labouring and it was on the site radio every 10 minutes. Appalling agony.

@NickDixon Correct. What’s Up is so perfect it will wind people up. But it’s just great song writing.

The US got Denmark to promise to not do something it was never going to do. In exchange it burned down the bilateral relation permanently and made the entirety of its alliance stop trusting America as a security guarantor. Good win.

Why do so many care about inheritance tax when fewer than 5% of estates pay it?

Because that statistic counts the dead.

Our new model counts living pensioner households instead. 20% have enough assets to face the tax. Over 50% in parts of London.

The year is 2026. You just woke up from your coma. You see Karl Rove getting a round of applause from readers of The Atlantic.

@SO3_Clausewitz Man that’s good.

All the journalists seem to be burying the lede on the paper. Its main finding is not “wow Britain has a ridiculously skewed tax and benefits system” (true, but obvious) it is “wow Britain has managed to flood itself with immigrants who will be a fiscal disaster in that system”

@OldRoberts953 It’s this.

@ClintBond Hey there Delilah.

@martintynvf @holland_tom Well, he was a genius and a cultural milestone. He qualifies.

[Jack Blackburn 🇺🇦 @HackBlackburn]

One of the most gloriously silly jokes. I can never not watch it. The execution is perfect.

@Cox_A_R @t848m0 Not got to it yet

A breed bred to fight viciously with minimum provocation and maximum bite strength ends up killing more humans than all other breeds put together, but the respectable explanation is "bad training."

Really exposes how risible it is when these people tack 'free Sudan, free Congo' as figleaves on the end of their usual slogans. They neither know nor really care what's going on in either country, and if you actually do then they'll go after you

@PeterGresham @utgardenblogs @colwight Peter, you need to cut your internet connection.

[David Paxton @DavidDPaxton]

@utgardenblogs @PeterGresham @colwight It’s not obvious what Europe gains. And they don’t want one. They’re not prepared for one and haven’t wanted to pay for preparing since forever.
Russia wants to split NATO, wants Ukraine abandoned. It may also think it could grab a Baltic state before having to stop.

@dearaunty @ClintBond Not Delilah. Whatever that song by the Plain White Tees is.

[David Paxton @DavidDPaxton]

Well that’s great content.
