@snowyxq1 Not one iota. Never even crossed my mind.

[Ed Pushman @EdPushman]

@jacksonhinkle Wrong about everything you mean

[Ed Pushman @EdPushman]

@jmilei_english Do you think he will get round to actually closing it down. I do hope so but that promise hasn’t been talked about much over the past few years.

[Ed Pushman @EdPushman]

@Mofoman360 Muppet.

[Ed Pushman @EdPushman]

@JamesMelville Utter insanity. We need to give up this net zero nonsense like yesterday. Such an economic self harm.

[Ed Pushman @EdPushman]

@WW3finalboss Most definitively not!

[Ed Pushman @EdPushman]

@carla_denyer I am genuinely curious. How do you believe opening safe and managed routes to the UK will slow and hopefully stop migration? Wouldn’t making it even easy to arrive here just encourage more to come?

[Ed Pushman @EdPushman]

@eurofounder Initially the income tax only affected the top 1%, now it’s almost everyone.

The greedy, money grubbing, claw of the state will never have enough.

Oh and BTW saying things like “no one should earn more than £150k” makes you sound extremely authoritarian.

[Ed Pushman @EdPushman]

@eurofounder At first they taxed the billionaires but I said nothing for I was not a billionaire. Then they taxed the millionaires but I said nothing for I was not a millionaire. Then they taxed… (you get the picture).

Once a lax like this is implemented its scope always creeps.

[Ed Pushman @EdPushman]

@NXT4EU Definitively not!

[Ed Pushman @EdPushman]

@NXT4EU I thought we were meant to be anti empire building these days? No? Is it back en vogue then? The EU will have achieved what old Adolf wanted without having to fire a shot. Quite the achievement really.

[Ed Pushman @EdPushman]

@Big_Mck I’m not getting it. You said the boy destroys capitalism but based on what he is standing up for (freedom, free enterprise, free speech, free movement) he is advocating for capitalism.

[Ed Pushman @EdPushman]

@HfcmoreiraHugo I thought we were against empires these days? Or did I miss the memo?

[Ed Pushman @EdPushman]

@KevinCastley Because of the increase in statism and collectivism in the US over the past few decades. And the corollary reduction of individualism and economic freedom.

[Ed Pushman @EdPushman]

@Megatron_ron It’s not like they HAVE to work 12 hour workdays. It allows more flexibility between employers and employees.

[Ed Pushman @EdPushman]

@RejoinP It has only failed (which I do agree with) thus far because no UK government has taken the steps necessary to make it a success!

It still represents a potential massive opportunity but it has been utterly squandered by successive governments. Sad and pathetic.

[Ed Pushman @EdPushman]

@WW3finalboss1 Definitely no to rejoining. Instead actually (finally) take advantage of the massive opportunity it represents.

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

I am the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

We are facing imminent financial collapse.

This is different from our other collapses.

The moral ones.

Those are ongoing.

This one is about money.

We have $1.57 billion in outstanding dues.

That's a record.

We hold many records.

Largest bureaucracy per resolution passed.

Most languages spoken per problem solved.

Highest catering budget per genocide witnessed.

We're very accomplished.

The United States owes us $4.6 billion.

They pay 22% of our budget.

They get one vote.

Same as Tuvalu.

Population: 11,000.

Very fair.

China pays 20%.

They also get one vote.

They're on the Human Rights Council.

So is Cuba.

And Eritrea.

And Sudan.

We take human rights very seriously.

We put it in the name.

Of the council.

That's the important part.

We could run out of cash by July.

This would affect our operations.

Our operations include:

Watching.

Expressing concern.

Drafting resolutions.

The resolutions are non-binding.

"Non-binding" means optional.

"Optional" means ignorable.

We're very influential.

In 1994, we watched Rwanda.

800,000 people died.

We watched.

Very thoroughly.

Our peacekeepers were there.

They kept the peace.

By leaving.

When the killing started.

That's called strategic withdrawal.

I learned it at a conference.

In Geneva.

With a buffet.

The wine was also very good.

In 1995, we declared Srebrenica a "safe zone."

8,000 people were murdered.

In the safe zone.

We investigated ourselves.

Found room for improvement.

Improved the catering.

At the next conference.

In Vienna this time.

Our peacekeepers went to Haiti.

To help.

They brought cholera.

10,000 Haitians died.

From the help.

We expressed regret.

Regret is free.

Unlike the $1.57 billion we're owed.

We have a rule.

The rule says we must return unspent money to member states.

At the end of each year.

To the states who didn't pay us.

I call it the Kafkaesque cycle.

"Kafkaesque" is what you say.

When you have a literature degree.

And no solutions.

We are trapped.

Expected to give back cash that does not exist.

To states that didn't give it to us.

So they can not give it to us again.

Very sustainable.

Like our development goals.

Which are also unfunded.

And also not achieved.

But very goal-like.

The President of the United States says we have "great potential."

He launched a rival organization.

Called the "Board of Peace."

It does what we do.

But without 80 years of institutional failure.

Very competitive.

We have 193 member states.

They vote on resolutions.

The resolutions condemn things.

Strongly.

Sometimes very strongly.

The condemned things continue.

But they're condemned now.

That's progress.

Our Oil-for-Food program had $1.8 billion in kickbacks.

To Saddam Hussein.

We investigated.

Found 2,200 companies involved.

Prosecuted none.

Wrote a report.

Very comprehensive.

440 pages.

About the money we lost.

While asking for more money.

From the same countries.

Who lost the money.

With us.

Our peacekeepers have 2,000+ sexual abuse allegations.

Since 2004.

We take this very seriously.

We issued guidelines.

The guidelines say don't do that.

Very clear.

The allegations continue.

But they're against the guidelines now.

That's accountability.

Please pay your dues.

Or we will have to cut programs.

Programs like:

The Commission on the Status of Women.

Chaired by Saudi Arabia.

In 2025.

Very progressive.

We maintain international peace.

And security.

And human rights.

You can tell by the wars.

And the insecurity.

And the human rights.

Please send money.

We promise to return the unspent portion.

To you.

Who didn't send it.

That's the rule.

We made the rule.

We can't change the rule.

That would require a resolution.

The resolution would be non-binding.

I'm not good at math.

Or peacekeeping.

Or human rights.

Or cholera prevention.

I run the United Nations.

[Ed Pushman @EdPushman]

@crypto_dragonz 1,000%, no. What they should do is finally take advantage of the massive opportunity Brexit represented but has been utterly squandered by successive governments of inept politicians.

[Ed Pushman @EdPushman]

@GoldenAgeUnfold That’s a tough one as I don’t know who the other candidates are. However assuming they aren’t too bad, then AOC gets a D (sorry, that sounds ruder than is intended!).
