Economically conservative, socially classical liberal. Facts matter, opinions don't. Political inclination towards Reform/Advance/Restore policies.

@rachelbbridge @SuellaBraverman 130 returns a year before Brexit Vs 60 returns a year after Brexit.
Brexit has got fk all to do with the scale of it. It always was & still is the government's choice to not enforce the border.
& blame ECHR, but that's also down to the government's choice of making it supreme.

@QuietPartLoud_ @KonstantinKisin The irony... 🤦

[AmiEternal @appatil2357]

@Master_Debunker @RobertJenrick It's not ironic at all. The migrant crime has a simple solution of not importing them, which is easier to do than increasing police, courts & prisons to accommodate them. & the native crime problem needs harsher punishment like the death penalty & life imprisonment.

@PeterTatchell Why do you want funding for that from the government? Fund it yourself.
I'm gay, and I don't want my taxes to go on any of this stuff. I would donate if I wish for these things, but compulsory taxes shouldn't be involved in it.
Enough with this division masked as diversity.

[AmiEternal @appatil2357]

Wish people like Konstantin were in parliament rather than most of the current lot.

@PeterMcCormack I guess Burnham's win is probably needed for them to keep their hatred aside and put the country first. Any other outcome will just embolden their hatred further.

[AmiEternal @appatil2357]

@PeterMcCormack @frankwrighter Nobody should step aside. The country will get what it deserves. If people unite, the future will be better, if they stay divided as they are right now, there's even worse days ahead.
Disagreement & compromise is a part of life, including in politics.

Great episode. Didn't know Malcolm until he joined Reform and after that, his speeches, press q&a & now this episode with Peter, I must say I'm very impressed. He's brilliant.

@ZiaYusufUK 🤦

[AmiEternal @appatil2357]

@ZiaYusufUK @wisteriawitch It'll turn out to be a poorly thought policy. Will create additional administrative work for businesses. And how exactly will the self employed people fit into this? Why not work on making tax simpler rather than making it more complicated than it already is?

[AmiEternal @appatil2357]

@RadioGenoa @RulesVagina Until police & judiciary change their approach, all businesses need to change to prepaid. Pay first, then get the service.

@AthelwulfG @WorldByWolf The thing that worries me about next GE is a scenario of Rupert & Nigel staying in opposition while Greens, Labour & LibDems form the government. But that's later.
I'm worried about the damage in next 3 years if Burnham comes in without the baggage of Labour's last 2 years on him

[AmiEternal @appatil2357]

@AthelwulfG @WorldByWolf Rupert seems to have made up his mind on this already, so I guess we'll see how it goes.
But I would prefer Starmer clinging to power with the pressure of all the scandals on him, unable to do much, than someone new coming in with a clean slate & flatten the country more.

[AmiEternal @appatil2357]

@labourpress Stop government expansion. Adapt policies so every working parent can afford to feed their child & doesn't need your handouts.

[AmiEternal @appatil2357]

@AthelwulfG @WorldByWolf In an ideal society, yes. Do you really believe you are living in one?
I would actually like to see Restore Vs Reform happen in some areas before the GE, so people get an idea how the real thing will play out.
But I agree with Wolf in this case. Hope voters do a risk assessment.

Dear @NewStatesman, what is his abomination of childish economics. I would like to reply below, happy to submit a more detailed reply if you would like.

But anyway, Gary Economics, I'll save most of my direct criticism of him, but let's be clear, economist is a stretch - he is a socialist with ideas which have failed through the entire history of time.

Even saying "the problem is billionaires" is embarrassing. I'd accept an argument that how some people become wealthy should be challenged - the TRICKLE UP economics of an expanding state is a problem, but this is the model that leftist economics creates, and they want more of it.

I think we can agree that the UK economy has failed, the reason is clear and it is math. We have elected unqualified and unimpressive people to make hugely consequential decisions for our country, our prosperity, our companies and our electorate. Ideology and redistribution, coupled with an absurd and incompetent managerial class has built layers and layers of friction and extraction while expecting good outcomes. It would be like making a 100m runner carry a sack of rocks and telling him if he only carries more rocks he would win.

Gary is suggesting let's do more of what doesn't work, because if we do more of what hasn't worked, it will work this time. Childish, emotionally driven stupidity. If your conclusion to the economic problems of our country is more tax, move government and more control, you haven't quite got the Sowell memo "social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good". Gary would do well to read his book on Basic Economics.

Let me be as clear as possible, we already have the highest tax burden in generations, we have near-record public spending, yet we also have collapsing productivity and real living standards are falling. This is in contradiction to economies which have deregulated and opened themselves up and are thriving.

You only have to look at the most recent survey asking British people if we were an American state, where would we rank in terms of wealth. We picked 7th, but sadly we would be the poorest, poorer than Mississippi.

These are self inflicted wounds by 5th rate politicians who make promises they can't keep because they like the taste of power. These people are idiots, they not understand economics yet every 5 years we run a personality competition and give them the keys to our prosperity. And guess what, we're getting poorer.

At some point, you have to consider the possibility that permanently expanding the state is not the cure for decline, but the mechanism of it. At some point, you have to challenge Gary on his ideas, because they are an evolution of failure, backed by a fabricated career, sold in the accent of a drill rapper. It is the epitome of the stupidity of our country that we keep elevating people for saying the things that sound good, rather than listening to the wisdom of Sowell, Friedman, Bastiat, Smith - the wise ones that came before us and told us exactly how the economy works.

But no, we know better.

We don't, we have a political class who wouldn't be able to run a small business profitably, crushing the hopes and dreams of business owners and young people who'd like the opportunities we had - own a home, have a family and do meaningful work.

You can print as many leftist economic arguments from emotionally driven, intellectually stunted people as you want. They are wrong. They have always been wrong. They will always be wrong.

Inflation is the crime of our century, entirely caused by the state and the Bank of England. It is entirely controllable, if you have the backbone for what is right, instead of a thirst for power. Inflation is controlled through discipline, but we have decided that narrative is more important than discipline.

You can't fight the markets - they are the truth and soon this discipline will be forced on us and there will be no more billionaires to blame as they will all have left.

We have a responsibility to our children. An ever expanding state and debt bubble is telling our children that you will pay in the future because of what we want now. There was a time where kids went to war and died for our country, now we're throwing kids future into a dumpster because we can't discipline ourselves.

You can't tax your way to prosperity.
You can't regulate your way to prosperity.
And you can't lie your way to prosperity.

If you aren't willing to accept this then have fun staying poor.

[AmiEternal @appatil2357]

@MInthenow70635 @RupertLowe10 Anyone else winning, except Andy Burnham, won't make any difference anyway.
But it'll be good to have a showdown between Reform & Restore. & actually a few more elsewhere need to happen. A glimpse of what's to come in the next GE.

[AmiEternal @appatil2357]

@xeode @JamesHarvey2503 We could be in an economic boom if the government stopped creating such illusions to collect more taxes & instead actually implement business friendly policies. Minimum wage increase only gives the poor an illusion of more money coz the prices rise accordingly after it anyway.

[AmiEternal @appatil2357]

@RealDonKeith What exactly is he arguing? Bring her to the UK and lock her up? Why? What benefit is she going to bring for the UK? Also I really don't understand why so much time is spent on this.
