@Sky18Sam@sircalebhammer You might not care and that's totally fine, we feel the same way. Trump was the one crying for Europe to come help him, then throwing a tantrum when they said no. I'll actually rephrase because I guarantee as soon as trump is out, normality resumes. It's Anti-trump not American
@mattan_tyl49903@sircalebhammer We set ourselves up for the US closing the straight of Hormuz by an unnecessary war??? The US and Israel have inflicted this on the rest of the world.
@Sky18Sam@sircalebhammer It's bigger than energy independence. It's the US throwing their weight around for no good reason and fucking up the global economy, all the damn time. As Europeans we used to turn a blind eye to this but honestly Europe is becoming increasingly anti American, justifiably
@sircalebhammer The rest of the world is becoming more anti American than ever, because we're fed up with the American government doing whatever they want around the world and the rest of us be damned. Ultimately right now America has no real allies, bar Israel, which isn't exactly a flex rn.
@sircalebhammer Genuinely bro, love you and love your content. It may be great for already rich people with investments but for basically every other country in the world that's getting involuntarily fucked by trumps bullshit... We aren't looking at America and seeing our friend, unfortunately.
@osintpeace@PolitlcsUK But even the "I hate starmer" crowd are only doing so because the media, which is well known to be overwhelmingly right wing in this country, absolutely crucifies him for every decision.
@Damocles561@PolitlcsGlobal What? He literally said yesterday, we are not involved in any offensive actions, but are acting defensively if needs be, and that he objects to Iranian government leadership, decisions and philosophy. That to me says... We aren't doing it, but we aren't stopping it. We approve.
@theeobservist @flashct9902 @PolitlcsUK You're right, it's defined by pre-7th century belief systems, like Christianity. They're all antiquated and mostly useless
@theeobservist@Charlie98376201@PolitlcsUK People don't care because most people understand that all religion is basically nonsense. Yes some religions are better than others, but they're all still wrong. We 100% shouldn't have any sort of religion involving the state. The idea of bishops in the HoL is ludicrous.
@itsluckyai@Keir_Starmer All well and good to suggest that but genuinely, the people who refuse to vaccinate their children will not listen to science or facts or even empathy. They're quite literally brainwashed
@JosephR37454657 @rhiamusicanna @jdtlgr@PolitlcsUK@MaxKendix Migrant hotels - started by the Tories and maintained because of a lack of processing capacity caused by yet more Tory underfunding.
Asylum crime - crime is bad, lots of people do crime, anybody doing crime isn't the fault of the PM, whether they're foreign or not.
@JosephR37454657 @rhiamusicanna @jdtlgr@PolitlcsUK@MaxKendix Criminals released early - was done by the previous governments too, because the prison system is inadequate because of lack of investment for 14 years.
Released by mistake - yes, awful. But not exactly down to the PM is it ๐ clearly that's human error within the prison service
@TowerofAdam1@PolitlcsUK For context, ยฃ100m is enough to run the NHS for just under 5 hours. In governmental terms, 100m is a rounding error, it's pocket change.
@LerryOwen@DeniseC48200342@MartinSLewis Plus, the LISA has the 1 year maturity rule so honestly the sooner the better for just opening an account and sticking a quid in at least. There will almost certainly be a way to port funds over to the new product, or have both as the same time. As with help to buy and then LISA.
@LerryOwen@DeniseC48200342@MartinSLewis I would say do it right now. Don't wait until after April, depending on how much capital you have right now to put in, you could put the full ยฃ4k in, get the free ยฃ1k, then do the same in April and get the 2026-27 free ยฃ1k, and benefit from the interest for a year. (1/2)
@daveboulton@MartinSLewis Honestly, if someone is, it's probably a bad investment unless they're very near retirement age and just want the tax free bonus as easy guaranteed money. For people waiting 20+ years for retirement, a private pension or a Stocks and Shares ISA will be far superior.
