On the left - Naive far-left protesters outside the US embassy in London, demanding the release of the dictator Nicolás Maduro.
On the right - Actual Venezuelans celebrating the capture of the dictator Nicolás Maduro.
The contrast is both striking and hilarious.
@TUIUK@SearchingSimon I tried on the website on my laptop and the app on my phone. Cannot access bookings and trying to click ‘check in’ from the notification responds with the below error
@piersmorgan I have a best friend that studied in the UK, born in Saudi, who revealed the same. The west has many incorrect assumptions of how Saudi life is today.
It has changed drastically in the last decade.
The biggest slap in the face the UK government imposes on its most productive workers is the £100k income threshold. At this point, they tax 40% while also removing the tax free threshold giving a person an effective marginal tax rate of 60%.
It’s the bureaucrats saying “we hate you for being successful”. It has the direct impact of making top talent leave the country or dial back their efforts. This tax threshold is responsible for a catastrophic loss of UK productivity.
"I don't know if you guys in the UK understand how sad it is for us in Canada and the US to watch what you're doing to yourself"
This is utterly magnificent from @jordanbpeterson.
Elon Musk: “I believe we want to maximize personal liberty. I think we want to be kind to people. We want to have empathy but it's very important to have personal freedom and a merit-based society.
The Left wants to oppress your freedoms, especially freedom of speech, and they want to have a non-merit-based society, with race-based and sex-based preferences.”
Joe Rogan: “If they're trying to suppress people's ability to communicate, they're only doing that because they want to do things that people don't want them to do. And they want to silence opposition.”
The botched and humiliating Afghanistan withdrawal should be disqualifying to Kamala Harris who says she was the "last person in the room" who signed off on that disastrous plan. Not only does she NOT deserve a promotion, America deserves real accountability. Heads need to roll.
Phone call with my dad yesterday:
Dad: "I’m usually a fan of Elon, but did you hear all that crazy stuff he said during that chat with Trump?"
Me: "Yeah, but did you actually listen to the Spaces?"
Dad: "No, I just heard about it on the Dutch radio."
Me: "Sigh. Here’s the link to the actual conversation. Give it a listen yourself, and then we can talk about what really happened."
Since I replied to this article I’ve had numerous death threats to myself and my unborn child. Questions on my own gender (I’m pregnant so guess that clears that one up 😂) calls for my employers to sack me, threats to my home. I’ve been called a racist, a bigot and a sexist as well as various insults - c*nt, sl*g etc.
I’ve also been asked why I haven’t raised any concerns on this topic before? See above for your answer.
When there are discrepancies with test results - which could impact the safety of another human being, in an environment that above all else should be fair - questions are quite rightly going to be asked. The answers are still unclear, otherwise this topic would be closed.
It seems like people are supposed to hate him these days without actually knowing anything about him.
In fact, we live in a culture where if someone says one thing you disagree with then you must hate and reject them rather than agreeing and disagreeing with things in a civil manner.
Civil discourse is important for humanity. When there is none, violence and division happens.
