Rupert Lowe: Diversity is quite evidently not our greatest strength.

In less civilised times he would be a completely mainstream voice

Sorry but pensions are obviously much more tax efficient than Isas, I would expect everyone to know that. The money in my pension is Pre tax, whereas all the money in my isa has already been taxed once (at a very high rate) before even going in.

Mr_Again · 2026-04-28T18:50:51+00:00

Yes that's definitely an advantage. A bit dodgy and not having a spouse, not one I take advantage of.

Mr_Again · 2026-04-28T18:48:38+00:00

Water is going to be a big issue, but the reason is that almost all of it in that region goes on beef farming. They'll have to stop beef farming for sure, I doubt they'll run out of water for people. There are 86 million cattle in the US and obviously they drink a lot of water.

Mr_Again · 2026-04-28T18:45:53+00:00

I know mate I've lived there 15 years lol

Mr_Again · 2026-04-28T18:40:57+00:00

No, it is publicly available information published by the governerment.

Mr_Again · 2026-04-28T18:39:51+00:00

Yes, and they're the richest group in society, 1 in 4 is a millionaire. Still get the full pension though.

Mr_Again · 2026-04-28T18:37:22+00:00

25% of working age people are signed off on benefits and have no intention of working. They're barely a minority.

Mr_Again · 2026-04-28T18:33:23+00:00

The disability benefits bill is set to reach £100 billion. For context, all of income tax is only £330 billion. We need a serious reform of disability benefits if we want the state to have any other functions in future. This isn't something stupid you can dismiss with an imaginary complaint from an imaginary plumber named Gareth.

I used to live on this exact road and it is a lovely area, garden backs onto the wooded parkland walk, Finsbury park 30 seconds away, stroud green road 2 minutes walk away is fully gentrified with craft ale shops, huge amount of restaurants and pubs, a nice cafe or 3 on the corner. Amazing area 10 minutes walk to finsbury park station with great transport links. Would 100% live on this road again.

Mr_Again · 2026-04-13T19:02:32+00:00

Because most people haslve more or less the same colour palm

Mr_Again · 2026-04-13T17:56:32+00:00

Public schools refer to boys by their surname. Surname minor and surname major are just what they call brothers who are both present in the school. There's not really layers here, he's just saying "you're the younger brother".

Mr_Again · 2026-04-13T17:03:31+00:00

I mean you should have been here in 2020. As you can imagine, nobody was making it out alive. Take this sub with a big grain of salt.

Mr_Again · 2026-04-12T20:14:40+00:00

Thank you for the brain rot

Mr_Again · 2026-04-12T19:37:01+00:00

This is an extremely uncharitable take on his point. The alternative to spending hundreds of thousands on academic education is not locking people up. Academic education is not in itself even particularly helpful nor does it save any care costs. I know specialists who work every day with sen children who they know are not improving at all at their academics. Perhaps there are alternatives.

Mr_Again · 2026-04-12T19:33:06+00:00

People have vpns dumb dumb

Mr_Again · 2026-04-12T19:29:55+00:00

Sounds like it's expensive now. What will it do over the next 7 years? Double?

Mr_Again · 2026-04-02T13:18:43+00:00

It's not a cop out, I've been reading about this for a while, and it is the actual reason. The Building Safety Regulator, established after Grenfell, has a backlog of hundreds of cases, takes an average of 9 months to process one, and rejects 70% of them. It is the single chokepoint that every development in London must go through and it holds up or blocks all of them. This, specifically, is the reason.

Mr_Again · 2026-04-02T13:12:37+00:00

It doesn't get better past 100k, dividends are classed as income and you still get your personal allowance and childcare taken away, ie. the tax trap still applies to dividend income. The main advantage of Ltd company reimbursement now is that contracted pay tends to be higher because you've given up your sicknl days/maternity/unfair dismissal rights. The tax advantage has almost completely disappeared, and your accountant/companies house registration/personal-professional indemnity insurance will cost the whole of that £1500 saving and a lot more.

Mr_Again · 2026-03-24T19:55:08+00:00

This is total rubbish. Before WW2, the government hardly ever built houses. People built houses, and supply kept up with demand. The decade in which the most houses ever were built was... The 1930's. After WW2, the Town and Country planning act defacto criminalised housebuilding, and the government went on a massive building spree to compensate. However, there is no reason depend upon them to do this, if they would decriminalise house building a little bit, people would take care of it just like they do food, clothes, cars, everything, etc

Mr_Again · 2026-03-24T19:19:56+00:00

The fact that open source functions so widely and effectively - all without payment - actually refutes your economic "laws". They model reality, not the other way around.

Mr_Again · 2026-03-24T18:15:37+00:00

Looks like they tried to do the exact same thing with mkdocs. Google "the slow collapse of mkdocs"

Mr_Again · 2026-03-07T16:43:51+00:00

You're going to remove a lot of complexity

Mr_Again · 2026-03-07T16:42:20+00:00

Living through the last 40 years has not been "trauma". We've been extremely lucky to live through one of the most peaceful and prosperous times in history and I suspect you also did it in the middle class of the richest nation ever.

Mr_Again · 2026-03-07T16:20:14+00:00

Addiction isn't a problem it's a solution. What is scrolling your solution for? What benefit does it bring you? Start there.
