I don't usually write personal stuff, but a few words about my experience of being interviewed by Gary Stevenson.

It started with a nice chat, comparing taste in hoodies... then the tone changed. He demanded to know why I'd deleted a tweet criticising him.

[Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪 @PeterMcCormack]

Taxes up
Borrowing up
Bureaucracy up
Councils moving to a 4-day week
Millionaires & billionaires leaving
Welfare dependency rising
Productivity stagnating
Energy bills unaffordable
Inflation continues
Public services failing
Migration still uncontrolled

We are ruled by idiots.

Wow!

1 million signatures in a 24 hour period. Incredible.

Dear young, smart, ambitious Brits. If you can easily leave the UK, do it.

@Keir_Starmer and @RachelReevesMP are planning to move Capital Gains Tax up by nearly double (from 20% to 39%). This means there's almost no point in entrepreneurs or investors taking a risk to build something of value in the UK.

If there is no benefit for taking a risk or for delayed gratification, then progress stops.

The UK government is run by socialists who can't stand anyone becoming successful. They tax you when you earn it, again when you spend it, then when you invest it and if by a miracle you make any gains they want another 39%! They have rigged the system against the hard working, enterprising and growth minded among us.

Money is time. Money directly translates to weeks, months or years of your life. When they tax you 40% they are robbing you of your life from January until May.

They don't give much back in return. The borders aren't secure, the institutions are crumbling, they inflate the currency through rampant government debt. These people give jobs to their mates, almost none of them have been successful in the real world without relying on government money.

Currently the UK economy is 45% Government spending. This is basically socialism and it happened under a Conservative government. Now the country is being run by actual socialists, things are going to get a lot worse for those who create value.

The most patriotic thing you could do is to leave the UK, go overseas and build wealth. When a decent government comes in and lowers taxes and runs the place properly, come back and invest your money into the UK. The country is going off a cliff but you don't have to - the world is a big place, go off and make your fortune somewhere that treats you well.

@EngineerLondon I thought the millennials were supposed to be the snowflakes?

[luko @lukoevans]

@EngineerLondon Using common sense is now controversial 🤦🏼‍♂️

@OrangeCoinStore Nice to see a UK store for BTC

@TheDanProsser I had a very similar experience last year which really shook me and my missus. We’ve since fitted Eufy cameras which are 360 degrees and auto follow motion, you can also schedule a period of time each day so that the cameras will siren externally when they detect motion.

Literally black mirror

In China, if you’re caught jaywalking, the SkyNet facial recognition system will immediately display your face on a public board of shame. They will automatically deduct your fine from your digital wallet.
and downgrading your social credit score!🚨🚨🚨

This is possibly the most insane TV appearance I have ever been involved in. I dare anyone to watch this and tell me these people should be in charge of our energy policy.

[luko @lukoevans]

@BrewDogJames @BrewDog @_yumbug NOPE.

[The Football Hub @TheFootbaIlHub]

Harry Redknapp on nonsense international breaks.

Spot on 👏🏼👏🏼

[luko @lukoevans]

Let's not worry about burglaries, knife crime, assaults and vehicle theft, let's use police time to knock on poor peoples doors and see if they are watching football illegally...

This country is a fucking shambles.

[Footy Accumulators @FootyAccums]

Police are set to visit 1,000 homes in a crackdown on illegal Premier League streaming.

@BitcoinConfUK @saifedean Perfect reading not just to introduce new people to Bitcoin, but to help them understand the corrupt system 🟠

@dylanleclair Spain... Lots of great cities, islands, good food, culture and lovely weather!

[Heather E Heying @HeatherEHeying]

Modern activism is often performative, rehearsed, and utterly out of touch with reality. Here, I make the bold claim that men and women are, on average, different heights. That appears to have been a bridge too far.

[luko @lukoevans]

@VodafoneUK Trying to upgrade my contract which expires tomorrow, but your website and app aren't working correctly... any idea when they will?

[Mainly Oasis @mainlyoasis]

Never forget the time when Oasis produced one of the greatest moments in Top Of The Pops history.

They decided to swap roles in the band to take the piss out of the show when they were told they could not perform “Roll With It” live. Iconic
