Or aprox 0.0066 per ‘000 residents. Interesting comparison to the US cities tabled below. Perhaps Mr Farage might like to comment/note when he is on one of his many speaking junkets in the US extolling the Right Wingers.

People left behind by economy…

1. Wealthy continue to operate outside the taxation system

2. Blame asylum seekers

3. Invent solution to small number of people escaping intolerable conditions

4. Claim this deals with inequality and lack of tax to redistribute

5. Do the Frog dance

Just take a minute and read what the Mango Mussolini is typing

He states that ‘blue states’ fudge their figures and that he will send in ‘troops’

So - he can ignore facts and send in the military

He is a full on Dictator.

I think that the current requirement to gather more income can be turned into a positive if they deploy the correct elements of a wealth/asset tax at the correct level.

Hopefully published with evidence such as the graph from IFS illustrating the problem.

This is the UK electricity breakdown at Noon today. Note that fossil fuels are 16.4% on a dull, not sunny but windy day.

So why does the domestic electricity market remain priced based on the international cost of gas?

So much bad stuff going on everywhere; so as a counterpoint here’s a photograph of a David Hockney painting.

A wonderfully empathetic response from Don Jr.

Especially given that Jill Biden is a Dr of Education.

What a twat; as they say - the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree

Take a moment to read the langauge in this tweet.

Offensive, illiterate, ignorant and threatening. How and in what world is this appropriate for a leader of any country never mind the most powerful one?

Hope that my pension can make it that far…

This is not normal. He is head of state. Canada is a sovereign nation.

Not one for the Americans but I am sure that you will appreciate where we are coming from and perhaps have your own orange coloured version?
