@TheBembridge Did you not read his post?

It says "book plug".

The far right is getting more moronic every day.

[Marty Edwards @extradry_martin]

@ballerinaX @groversmith1 @Urrealism Well spotted.

[Marty Edwards @extradry_martin]

@Penobscot148 @7News Sheesh, I thought you were THE Ewan McGregor spouting that nonsense!

My faith in him (i.e. the other one) is intact.

[Marty Edwards @extradry_martin]

@BLovesSoAL @historyinmemes "literally".

Sheesh.

[Marty Edwards @extradry_martin]

@notayesmansecon What's curious about it? One is forward-looking, the other backward-looking.

[Marty Edwards @extradry_martin]

@GoodwinMJ Ah, it's because the Conservative party is not right-wing enough that everyone is saying that they will vote Labour!

My goodness, what a moronic take.

[Marty Edwards @extradry_martin]

@debonairchap @edwardkeyjf Nonsense.

Sorry to be blunt, but you made that up.

[Marty Edwards @extradry_martin]

@debonairchap @edwardkeyjf No it hasn't. It really, really hasn't.

Even if immigrants paid into, and took from, the public purse the same on average as the native born, then the increase in working population eases pressure on public services. Please, just think about it.

[Marty Edwards @extradry_martin]

@hardtimeshere11 @edwardkeyjf You are confusing immigrants with asylum seekers.

Think about it.

Now do you see how all your arguments here fall apart?

[Marty Edwards @extradry_martin]

@edwardkeyjf @hardtimeshere11 Aw, not an economist, are you?

[Marty Edwards @extradry_martin]

@debonairchap @edwardkeyjf OMG, so ill-informed. Of course it matters what the native population do. Think about it.

And I know "the stats", and the academic studies. All of which support the common sense view, which again can be derived by a little thought.

[Marty Edwards @extradry_martin]

@hardtimeshere11 @edwardkeyjf "no chance" 😆

It's amazing how many people form opinions without a single fact to back them up!

[Marty Edwards @extradry_martin]

@edwardkeyjf @hardtimeshere11 Erm, no. It wasn't true at all. It was a load of ill-informed garbage. Immigrants come here to work, and they do.

[Marty Edwards @extradry_martin]

@hardtimeshere11 @edwardkeyjf Simply not true. Immigrants are here to work. Which is why they contribute more to, and take less from, the public purse than the native population on average.

[Marty Edwards @extradry_martin]

@debonairchap @edwardkeyjf What on earth gave you that idea? Immigrants are here to work. On average, they contribute more and take less from the public purse than the native born.

Here is a person who claims to believe in freedom of speech.

@mar1f70 You don't get it, Mr Arif. We pay Mr Lineker's wages. Therefore his comments on political issues are neither acceptable nor balanced and a little less of the 'Old Boy', if it all the same to you. I treat you with respect!

[Marty Edwards @extradry_martin]

@HerdImmunity12 "Science is bad".

What a stupid thing to say.

[Marty Edwards @extradry_martin]

@ClausVistesen Right, thanks. I guess if the govt told the DFA to change its schedule, it wouldn't have a choice. It'll need to change something in its 2024 issuance plan at some point anyway. But either way, Jan of course is when a big no. of syndications come to market as well as auctions.

[Marty Edwards @extradry_martin]

@ClausVistesen I think it has been one big driver, as has CPI & the (now frothy) narrative that the yield cycle has turned. The illiq. secondary market is being used to buy blocks of bonds. Do you think the DFA is considering a delay? It normally takes pride in keeping to its schedule.
