Lord of Irony

Director at an investment bank, ex engineer. Pithy, sarcastic but never rude!

@faisalislam On a comparison site, it's possible to get a 75% mortgage for 4.2% for the first 5 years, which suggests that UK gilts have a worse credit rating with a yield of 4.49%.

Might be worth putting that to the self confessed economist we have as chancellor.

@KrazyCynic1125 @zapatas_mom Tbf, the delivery drivers are able to catch up with the train as it's moving.

🚨ANNOUNCEMENT: we’re rolling out Winter Fuel Payments to pensioners in Tower Hamlets after we became the first council in the country to approve restoring this vital lifeline when it was cut.

I urge other councils to follow and call on the Government to reverse these cuts.

@carla_denyer Hollow words by Starmer's Labour... they will do everything they can to delay, deny and defend.

@FisherAndrew79 Fair and democratic voting systems don't benefit incumbents or indeed the main parties, hence why we have the current system.

@ivan_8848 The German economy is founded (largely) on the automotive industry, and sooner than later, the Chinese will match them in quality, design and aspiration. The arrogance of Western nations believing themselves to be technologically and morally superior will bite them in the butt.

@mehdirhasan To be fair, the correct term is "sadistic psychopath".

@ShaykhSulaiman I'm confused, where's all the pictures of soldiers posing in lingerie, graffiti on the walls and shitting all over the place - isn't that how the most moral army behaves?

@PhilipProudfoot Ms Phillips isn't just a buffoon, she's a racist. The fact that the BBC keeps inviting people like her says more about the BBC.

@broseph_stalin Which F word was jezza apologizing for, Fu*k or Free?

[Lord of Irony @LeftyBanker]

@RealEmirHan There was also this one (not) by Marlon Brando...

The Home Secretary's responsibilities include policing, here she's saying that arresting a suspect for crimes against humanity are not a matter for her.

Would she say the same if Putin were to visit London?

Interviewer: Will Netanyahu be arrested if he comes to the UK?

Govt minister Yvette Cooper: "That's not a matter for me..."

"The UK is a signatory of the ICC, don't we have to respect its ruling?"

"... it wouldn't be appropriate for me to comment"

[Lord of Irony @LeftyBanker]

@HamzaMSyed @10DowningStreet The main reason Starmer and his cabinet haven't put their names to the ICC arrest warrant and nor will they comment on it, is because they've accepted the supremacy narrative by the perpetrators.

Finally a step towards #accountability and #justice in #Palestine. Let the full force of law be equally applied to Israeli war criminals, and not only for the last 412 days but for the last 28,000 days. @IntlCrimCourt

[Lord of Irony @LeftyBanker]

The ICC has finally issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant and Mohammed Deif.

I wonder if @Keir_Starmer still knows the definition of a genocide?

[Lord of Irony @LeftyBanker]

@Keir_Starmer But your solution to tackling global problems is to arm one side in all the wars around the world.

[Lord of Irony @LeftyBanker]

@elonmusk You should do the same with the states in US. I wonder how much more California adds to federal taxes compared to Mississippi, say?

[Lord of Irony @LeftyBanker]

@HukAleksandra @youngmichael3 Pension contributions are tax free, you pay tax when you extract from the fund.
