Husband, Dad. Tweeting on various subjects including economics and politics. Hate hypocrisy.

[Margaret Thatcher @realmrsthatcher]

If the problem is you're borrowing too much, that arises because you're spending too much. If you're spending too much, you must reduce your spending...It's a very silly person that says, "I'm going bankrupt the way I am but I can't afford to cut so don't ask me."

[...]

You know 30% of the people in council houses have higher household incomes than 45% of the people in owner-occupied homes. And yet, the people in the owner-occupied homes are having to subsidise some of that 30%.

You don't cut subsidies to those people who need them. The trouble now is they're right across the board.

And where do subsidies come from? Not from the government, but out of the taxpayers' pocket.

“Let’s spend £4.5 trillion on net zero over the next 25 years. Let’s increase taxes to pay for net zero. Let’s ban new oil and gas licences in the North Sea but spaff away £40billion buying North Sea oil and gas from Norway. Let’s buy coking coal shipments worth £7.2million from Japan but ban UK coal mining. Let’s plaster thousands of acres of farmland with solar panels but spend £50million on sun dimming experiments. Let’s give huge renewable energy construction contracts to China. Lets fail to improve gas storage facilities, Let’s give Drax an estimated £1.8billlion in taxpayer funded subsidies on top of the £11billion it has already received despite Drax burning an amount of wood equivalent to 300 million trees. Let’s give £1billion this year alone to wind power companies not to generate power from their wind turbines. And let’s spend £30billion of taxpayers’ money on carbon capture machines but put pensioners, farmers and the disabled into financial peril by claiming there’s a £22bn black hole.”

Just had my council tax bill through and it's gone up *considerably*.

Also had to pay extra for my green waste, again.

It immediately reminded me of this masterpiece.

Thatcher organised a fleet of 127 warships and cruise ships within 48hrs ready to sail to the Falkland Islands after Argentina invaded 🇬🇧

Starmer organised 1 ship to sail to Cyprus to protect the island but it won't be ready to sail until next week 🚣🏼‍♂️

Green Party candidate Hannah Spencer exposed as £1.2million property-hoarding hypocrite

The Gorton and Denton by-election hopeful owns a lucrative £1.2 million real estate portfolio, including a £736,000 second home bought in August 2024.

She publicly slams second homeowners for “hoarding” properties and rails against landlords, while her party demands the abolition of private renting and aggressive rent controls.

Spencer bought her first home at 24 with help from her mother and has boasted online about outbidding first-time buyers and flipping properties for profit.

Peak champagne socialism: preach equality and revolution while quietly stacking a property empire most Brits could only dream of.

A male who puts on a dress & says they feel like a woman remains (& will always remain) a male. They belong in the male estate & more effort & thought needs to be made to make sure they are safe & catered for in the male estate. Womens rights & opportunities are not up for grabs

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

Yes

We have English courts and Scottish courts, and they should handle all legal matters in Britain

If people want Sharia courts, there are 60 countries that have them

The class action lawsuits coming down the line are going to turn all previous medical scandals into mere footnotes. The medical establishment has buckled to the demands of an unfalsifiable ideology and children are being sacrificed on its altar.

While we’re giving Mr Trump a much needed history lesson, here’s another.
Trump says Denmark should show more gratitude to America for liberation from the Nazis.
Except it wasn’t the Americans who liberated Denmark. It was the British. The Second Army to be exact, party of Monty’s 21st Army.

Britain was the foremost champion of freedom and liberty against tyranny in WWII. Whether that meant hosting the French government in exile, sheltering the Norwegian Royal Family, or triumphing over the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain.

Never let them rewrite history.
