‘The English language has three voices: an active voice, a passive voice, and a secret unlockable exhonerative voice that journalists only use when describing Israeli war crimes.’
“You’re spending 50% of your disposable income on a house a postman owned in 1917.”
Rory Sutherland just delivered a brutally funny takedown of London property madness.
He pointed out that people with good jobs are now paying enormous sums for a three-bedroom house in Fulham that’s essentially a boring, low-quality building — the real value is almost entirely in the land and planning permission (about 90% of the price).
Meanwhile, we live in an incredible technological age where you can buy jet skis, hot tubs, and amazing consumer goods — but most of our money goes into owning a “shit house” in a good postcode.
Rory’s friend has a flat in the Barbican and he gets that — it’s actually an amazing place to live. But most London housing? Dross.

It’s like paying £60,000 a year for the parking space while driving a 1970s Ford Cortina.
What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve seen people spend huge money on just for location?
"Don't lecture the rest of us about nukes when you have nukes and you've now incentivized Iran to get nukes..."

Every Israeli should see this
Netanyahu admits funding Hamas to weaken Palestinian unity and prevent the creation of a peaceful, independent Palestinian state
For whoever needs to hear this I'm the only Jewish person to lead a political party - third largest in the country.
The Daily Mail have been & always will be my enemy - they historically supported fascists & continue to do so.
I'll take no lectures from them on Antisemitism.
BOMBSHELL: The US is backing down. An analyst on Sky News confirms that Trump was forced to cancel strikes because Iran's guaranteed retaliation against Israel and the Gulf states would be "enormous". The cost of war is too high. Iran called his bluff!
Absolute masterclass in exposing Western hypocrisy. When Putin bombs power stations, it's a war crime. When the US plans to do it to Iran, the British government suddenly loses its voice and refuses to condemn it.
BOMBSHELL: Iran offered to give away ALL of its enriched uranium during peace talks in Geneva. The British thought it was a credible offer. Hours later, Trump started bombing Iran anyway. The US didn't want peace, they wanted war.
