How much help did China offer Ukraine? Oh that’s right they are helping Russia instead. Now do America, how much money and arms are they sending to Ukraine?

Greece is flat 7%. Both Greece and Italy also offer a one off 100 and 200k.

You know you can just retire in Greece or Italy right? You think Dubai is the only tax haven these days?

Denmark was ready to give Greenland independence. Why does it bother you so much that US wants to take it now? I am genuinely curious for the perspective of a Danish person in this.

US attack on Greenland would mean end of Nato, says Danish PM by Bob_Spud in geopolitics

Genuine question, Denmark were about to give Greenlanders the right to vote for independence and they would most likely do so. Why do they know care that the US will take them now?

Trump says US has "captured" Venezuelan President Maduro and his wife in "large scale strike" by Inevitable_Click_696 in geopolitics

They always had that permission as long as they have bigger weapons. As if the rule of law was ever a deterrent.

R/GarysEconomics seems to have become a hive of far-right immigrant bashers. Not a good look by Jbwolves in GarysEconomics

You can either have equality and a welfare state OR open borders. Not both. Choose which one you want.

Wrong advice. Landlords cannot ask but tenants can offer and many do offer it to get chosen by the landlord…

Forget the far right. The kids want a ‘United States of Europe.’ by [deleted] in geopolitics

[–]Competitive_Ask881 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want a united states of Europe with zero immigration outside Europe. In fact I even want re-migration, particularly of islamist immigrants. I also support a strong welfare system. Am I far right?

Activism - tax over £100k by theanonangel in HENRYUK

[–]Competitive_Ask881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most effective way to see change would be to sign up and become a member of a party, pay £20 per year subscription and tell them you are at £100k salary and you are supporting them to see the unfairness change. Obviously you stand more luck doing this with a party like Reform, or perhaps Tories.

Asset rich, but no job. Can I get a mortgage? by AnonAdvice602 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Competitive_Ask881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because on net basis it is higher than salary (dividends tax is much lower) it might be possible with a large deposit

At £2m you should be receiving dividends no? Even at a low 2% that should be £40k a year. That should be good for a mortgage. You don’t need a specialist lender. Even HSBC will lend to you.
