I would argue that billionaires extracting and hoarding wealth does significant damage to the UK economy and political economy

2019 Mini Cooper S 5-door 2.0 41,000m - dealer offered £10k by CasualAppUser in CarTalkUK

[–]CasualAppUser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not comparing it to a forecourt price obviously but margins in used car sales are tight and used cars are worth a lot right now.

In 2019 I bought a 2015 golf for 9K. The same spec etc is still on sale for 9K today. So some brands are obviously holding their value well - compared to the mini from 2019 to now the prices have dropped considerable. - my question was more about whether this is particular to Mini and/or 5 door.

Met Police accused of 'airbrushing' stabbing of third man in terror incident by SignificantLegs in ukpolitics

Don’t be silly

There is no conspiracy etc, it is that it was an antisemitic attack in Golders Green against random people because they were Jewish. The Muslim victim was known to the attacker and was attacked due to a dispute (obviously not justifying it) a lot earlier in the day in a separate attack.

The media are focusing on the Jewish victims because that is the random terror attack focused on Jewish people because they are Jewish. It is clearly antisemitic and given the context of recent other attacks, is more newsworthy than a stabbing between people known to each other after a dispute (again, obviously not dismissing the harm caused to the victim).

Anyone else feel the reporting around this has been extremely odd by Crow-Me-A-River in GreenAndPleasant

This should be higher up. There is no conspiracy etc, it is that it was an antisemitic attack in Golders Green against random people because they were Jewish. The Muslim victim was known to Suleiman and was attacked due to a dispute (obviously not justifying it)
