@SamCKx WTF?!? Starmer is a compulsive liar and a power-grabbing authoritarian. He’s doing the work of the WEF, EU and global corporatists and didn’t care at all for the UK people.
@Heccles94 He’s not hoarding money. It’s all tied up in assets of his businesses. If there’s a Starship disaster in the future the share price will crash.
Besides, consider the VAST about of fraud in Minnesota and California. It’s clear governments are totally incompetent
His job is to engineer civil unrest, delivering a Digital ID mandate for his WEF handlers.
This isn’t about popularity — and it never was.
What’s unfolding feels increasingly calculated, not accidental.
A steady push of policy after policy, each one framed as efficiency, safety, or modernization — yet collectively pointing toward something far more rigid underneath.
Digital identity systems. Centralized verification frameworks. Expanding requirements to access basic services in an increasingly monitored environment.
Supporters call it progress. Critics see something else taking shape: a quiet tightening of control wrapped in the language of convenience.
And the most unsettling part isn’t just the direction — it’s how normal it’s being made to feel while it happens.
Because once these systems are fully embedded, walking them back becomes almost impossible.
At that point, it’s no longer about debate.
It’s about structure.
Norway and the UK drilled the same North Sea.
🇳🇴Norway got $2 trillion.
🇬🇧The UK got tax cuts.
Same basin,Same era.... Completely different outcomes.
Norway captured $30 per barrel in government revenue. The UK captured $11.
That gap, compounded over 50 years of production, is the entire difference.
Norway's model was simple: tax heavily (78% marginal rate), take direct equity stakes in fields via the SDFI, own part of Equinor, and put everything surplus into a fund invested abroad.
The Government Pension Fund Global now holds over $2 trillion in assets.
That's $390,000 per Norwegian citizen about 1.5% of all listed equities on earth.
The fiscal rule: only spend the 3% annual real return. Never touch the principal.
The UK started producing earlier, at lower prices, with a lower tax rate (40%) and no saving mechanism.
North Sea revenues flowed straight into the general budget.
Economists estimate the UK missed out on roughly £400 billion compared to a Norwegian style regime.
The windfall largely financed tax cuts in the 1980s rather than a fund.
Where things stand in 2026?
Norway's petroleum sector will generate $63 bn in net cash flow this year alone feeding a fund already large enough to cover 10-15% of the national budget from returns alone.
The UK is a net energy importer.
Since 2021 it has paid countries like Norway more than £100 billion for gas.
One country treated oil as a finite resource to convert into permanent financial wealth.
The other treated it as income.
