🚨SHOCKING: “One of the main problems in the countryside is dogs. Muslims don’t like dogs.”
Liberal commentator complains the British countryside is racist and Muslims avoid going there because too many people walk their dogs, which are haram in Islam.
These people are really insane. 👀
Milton Friedman on 4 ways to spend money:
1) Your money on yourself (you’re careful about both cost and quality)
2) Your money on others (you care about cost, less about quality)
3) Someone else’s money on yourself (you care about quality, not cost)
4) Someone else’s money on others (you care about neither)
The last one is how government spending works.
@CallumLyon It depends on where you live and where you do your shopping.
A return ticket to London £40-£60, a full tank of fuel £60ish, £100 more than 2 bags of groceries
Jeremy Clarkson has been refused permission to sell food he grew himself, twice. In the same window, central government overruled a Lincolnshire council to put solar panels across 1,214 hectares of grazing land, an area the size of Heathrow.
Run the two columns side by side, because the pattern is the whole story.
He asked to open a restaurant in his own lambing shed. Refused.
He asked for a car park for the people already blocking the lane. Refused.
He asked to sell food produced more than sixteen miles away. Capped at sixteen.
He asked for a barn to store his own harvest, so he would not have to sell at whatever price August offered. Full application required.
He asked about the restaurant again. Enforcement notice, and six weeks judged ample to put the building back as it was.
Now the other column.
Had he covered those same fields in solar panels, the council could have refused and been overruled from Whitehall, as Lincolnshire was in October 2025.
Had he grown maize to feed an anaerobic digester, nobody would have written to anybody.
Had he taken £532 a hectare from Defra to grow a legume fallow, he would have been paid to leave a crop standing that may not be harvested, grazed or sold. Defra cut that rate this year and gave the reason in writing: it had become attractive enough to take land out of food production.
Had he sold the lot to a data centre, a battery park or a Chinese pig unit, all four of which he listed in his column last week, the paperwork would have moved considerably faster than a farm shop's.
There is your planning system. Every use of English farmland is easier to permit than farming.
Two hundred of his acres grew nothing at all this year, and the queue of people who want that ground for something other than food is already forming.
He is not being stopped from developing the countryside. He is being stopped from feeding it.
Saying it again, for all you pious Catholics.
Confession should not take 30 minutes. Get in there, confess, and get your penance.
Making people wait in line or miss their chance is selfish and unnecessary.
If you want to have spiritual direction, make an appointment with your priest.
Milton Friedman educates young idealist advocating 100% inheritance tax:
“What is the effect of a 100% inheritance tax? To encourage people to dissipate their wealth in high living.”
“Where do you get the factories, the machines, the capital investment, the incentive to improve technology, if what you’re doing is to establish a society in which the incentive is for people who, if they by accident accumulate some wealth, to waste it in frivolous entertainment?”

Bill Maher on the Islamic slaughter of Christians in Nigeria: "They are literally trying to wipe out the christian population of an entire country. Where are the kids protesting this? They don't care because the Jews aren't involved"
He's 100% correct.
