@wolfofx This has been the best thread I’ve ever read thank you! 🥹

Absolutely right Julia

The reason to fight is because leaders can emerge from anywhere.

This man is one.

We tax cigarettes to reduce smoking.
We tax alcohol to reduce drinking.
We tax fuel to reduce driving.

What do you think happens when you tax employing people and running a business?

Every single person who still cringes at the memory of trying to bullshit their way through an interview or exam question: today, the slate is wiped clean. Set down your burden of shame. Nothing - nothing, I say - could touch this.

A thought experiment.

A white British boy is found guilty of stabbing to death a black British boy.

The police handcuff the black British boy when he is bleeding out and dying.

They refuse to try & save his life. His last words are: “I can’t breathe”.

The police later issue a weak apology.

But no heads roll.

Nobody is sacked.

The police body cam footage is not released.

Now ask yourself:

What would Keir Starmer, Yvette Cooper, Sadiq Khan, Jess Phillips and countless other MPs and celebrities be doing right now?

We know exactly what they would be doing.

They would be protesting. Marching. Screaming. Demanding the footage be released.

And dropping one video and statement after another on social media.

Now have a look around at what they are all doing about the Henry Nowak case.

And that is exactly why millions of British people talk about “two-tier Britain”.

This is one of the most jaw-dropping, chilling interviews I have seen. Watch this Rabbi from London, respond to question about the terror stabbing in Golders Green!

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses.

I’ll explain for the economically illiterate.

Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add:
- 12.07% holiday
- Sick pay
- Maternity pay if and when required
- National insurance
- Pension contributions

These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up.

Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t.

Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics.

Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs.

There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay.

So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost.

Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes.

The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

@Glinner So when people are struggling with bills they become racist? Make it make sense.

When gay marriage is brought up, every Christian that smokes, drinks, curses and has premarital sex is suddenly concerned with what the Bible allows.

Well done!

[Samantha Smith @SamanthaTaghoy]

If a hospital is refusing to let a dying girl see their best friend before she’s euthanised…

…because they’re worried she might CHANGE HER MIND and not agree to be killed and organ harvested…

They are the villains.
No ifs, ands, or buts.

[Basil the Great @BasilTheGreat]

In the UK it is LEGAL to abort an unborn baby just 1 hour before it is born

I don't know how anyone can defend this

[Lila Rose @LilaGraceRose]

BREAKING:

The UK just legalized abortion up to birth.

Babies can now be killed at any age, under any circumstance—even when they can survive outside the womb. 

Lord, have mercy.
