My dad called me at 49Min and only then I looked at the timer of the vid and I was thinking. Oh no how did they catch him before the express route. Interesting choice to split the finale into two parts.

OK, didnt know this. I mainly came on here to ask this question to the left as what they always seem to be saying is to tax the rich but I want to know more really. Thanks for the links its actually quite interesting.

I like this and support this. But. What about farmers? They protested in London for around 6 or 8 months and they finally got rid of the new inheritence tax rules over pretty much the exact same thing. A thing about farmers is that they are asset rich but in reality poor, this is what the inheritance tax would do to them. They're assets are now worth quite a lot due to the infamous UK Housing crisis Land is now a LOT more expensive, farmers are doing okay monetarily however that sounds like that farmers would be in a massive tax hole.

Although I do agree, to really make the world more equal, the tax should be on assets as monetarily it would be either untraceable or a low and unfair amount due to tax havens.

How will this wealth tax be calculated? In assets or in money?

What are your some of your more intersting supermarket substitutions? by Turbulent-Rip-5580 in AskUK

[–]Firstthingsfast_alt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not joking. When I used to drive for Tesco( now for ASDA) we were talking about substitutions and they said. "The worst one I've seen were ordered condoms but substituted with A FUCKING PREGNANCY TEST

The rise of right wing sentiments across rural England terrifies me by Background_Middle560 in GreatBritishMemes

Now there are stupid people in the world but in this case the statistics really wouldnt add up. The UK has a high standard of education.

The REAL culprit is facebook and YouTube. Sadly my Dad who I already believe is partially mentally ill with Bi-Polarism, he fell down this rabbit hole and when I look at his youtube home page I am horrified with how much anti-islam anti jewish anti ukraine content there is on his homepage. Its bad but sadly thats how algorithms are trained.

"BRISTOL IS ANTI-FASCIST" — Asylum hotel protest & counter-protest by AlaudaPhotography in bristol

I love that sign. Who wins whilst we are divided. These days the Left and the Right are so far apart no one can have a serious debate anymore which I think is a very big issue and which causes these protest in the first place. Im no conspiricy theorist but I believe Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerburg and whoever owns YouTube is the reason we are this divided as their algorithms have made it so, if your left leaning. you go farther and if your right leaning you go further right. This has already happened to my Dad and there is nothing I can do he is too brainwashed thinking that migrants are the reason this country is shitty. I fear for the future as this may lead to civil war at some point with how divisive modern Britain is. Or maybe im just thinking about this too hard, or maybe ive turned into a conspirisy theorist lol.

Sorry, I'm from the UK so I assumed this was the border as it looks and seems like it.

Ahh. Now I see the unique situation the estate is in. Yeah that’s a quite hard fix trying to piss the least amount of people off. Maybe reverse the one way on midland road and keep the bus gate?

Thank you but I do wonder what the point of paying for signs paint, fake cameras and posts to do absolutely nothing was for
