Left libertarian by default. All roads lead to LVT and UBI. I also write and record songs.

Lol. I think they actually believe this

Britains towns and cities will suddenly find gaps appearing where houses once stood

@cjsnowdon That's going on for £500 per UK resident, clearly on the pricey side, whatever Ralph says.

Yuck.

@MisanthropeGirl Pure killjoys. They hate anything enjoyable.

@rorysutherland + it's a free world.

- in Prague, for example, locals have been replaced by AirBnB and it's a tourist desert.

@agr_slrg 98% is from developed.

Might as well ignore farmland, except for environmental reasons

Main thing is scrap farm land subsidies, which is negative LVT!!

@MisanthropeGirl Especially as her boss got five years prison back in the day. Yup, only five. Pro rata, she's due about one week in the slammer.

@Ruthjfj @jimalkhalili Thank you! Not just me then.

[Mark Wadsworth - Shared Ground🔰 @Mark_Wadsworth]

@jimalkhalili It's bad.

But not as bad as "between you and myself."

@HenryPryor @CarolLewis101 @thetimes Not really. What we need is the system of rent controls, mortgage caps, domestic rates, council housing, low stamp duty etc ("Geogism Lite") that we had for most of the 20th century (as did many other countries) and new construction sorts itself out naturally to plug any gaps.

[Mark Wadsworth - Shared Ground🔰 @Mark_Wadsworth]

@HenryPryor I keep telling you, land value tax will sort this out.

There are so many bad taxes it could replace, which is a bonus.

@cjsnowdon Anybody who thought that Qatar would actually keep its word and allow booze sales to Western hordes is a gullible fool.

They lied, sold the tickets, then banned it. Win-win for them.

@cjsnowdon @IslingtonChap And I bet they constantly refer to the EU as Europe. If we left NATO, would they claim we are no longer in the North Atlantic? Are Switzerland and Norway not European countries?

@cjsnowdon @IslingtonChap If co-hosted by Guardian and the FT, with a BBC plant asking a loaded question...

Protestors in the city of Khomein have burned down the childhood home of the late Ayatollah Khomeini, founder of the country's current theocracy. The symbolic significance of this move against the most revered figure in the Islamic Republic cannot be overstated.

@amylieberfarb Is your main goal to show off or to get a nice buzz on?

Red wine gives you a worse hangover than white wine, that's the main thing to know

[Mark Wadsworth - Shared Ground🔰 @Mark_Wadsworth]

@cjsnowdon None of them. Die of old age is preferred by most people.
