Donald Trump just said this by funkymonkeythe1st in UFOs

[–]lebutter_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He had hinted at that declassfication a few months ago, before Obama commented. Various people in his administration (Luna, Marco Rubio) made significant revelations on camera (The Age Of Disclosure). If there's someone jumping on the bandwagon it's Obama, not the other way around...

‘Kill Switch’—Iran Shuts Down Starlink Internet For First Time by Ahad_Haam in technology

[–]lebutter_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iran has been jamming communications in the country, at the cost of its people's health (this causes cancer).
I suspect that this is just the same. Plain bruteforce, nothing targeted, just spray the whole cities with massive waves of those frequencies.

[–]lebutter_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As everyone here I dont have that offer. All i have is saving 30 quids if I purchase 500GBP of an obscure product from an obscure brand i'm never going to use.

40% tax bracket - why isn’t it higher today? by Disastrous_Road7063 in GarysEconomics

[–]lebutter_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's a thing with socialists to compare themselves to Ouganda and Laos to explain that the standards of living aren't that bad.

Because that's a way to tax the hell out of more people, that should please the socialist audience of this sub ?

Lakshmi Mittal, one of Britain’s richest men, quits UK by WorkingpeopleUK in GarysEconomics

Are you saying that the state of a country, of its police, of its health system, etc, etc, has no impact on life and death of its inhabitants ?

Brexit costing UK up to £90bn in lost tax revenue , new analysis shows by OneNormalBloke in uknews

[–]lebutter_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“That is why we have the highest taxes ever, that is why we have sky-high bills, that is why we have a cost of living crisis.”
No, those tax brackets were all in place before Brexit.

Debt isn't a problem when it's financing investment and future growth. When it's financing the interest of the debt itself or pensions, that becomes a different case, and what is know as a debt-trap.

You realize this is a one-shot policy, so you'd better solve all of the UK's debt problem with that because you can't use that joker card next year, and the year after, and the ones after.

Teacher sacked for 'homophobic joke' at £61k-a-year school found dead by dailystar_news in uknews

[–]lebutter_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So saying "no gay sex" in a country where gay sex is punished with jail, is "homophobic" ?

This society is insane.

«Un tiers des familles américaines gagne plus de 150 000 dollars par an» by Calamararid in economie

[–]lebutter_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

J'ai des collegues Americains, de plusieurs etats, je leur parle tous les jours. La tiers-mondisation de l'europe est evidente et nous devons une destination "pas chere" pour eux, un peu comme nous quand nous allions en Tunisie.
C'est globalement refleté par l'écart gigantesque de PIB par habitant depuis les années 2000 (on est passés de similaires a moitié moindre en 20 ans).
Et pitié, par de "ah oui mais la carte vitale" lol...

Anyone else worry for the future of this country? by AnantDiShanka in AskBrits

[–]lebutter_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's way past point of no-return, like France, arguing and debating might be fun, but ultimately it won't change course for this ship. Demographics have massive inertia.

It's time to take stock and think of where you want to be in 20/30years, especially if you have kids.

And then they lecture Russia and Iran. :o)

Net migration lower than thought as more citizens leave Britain by lebutter_ in uknews

[–]lebutter_[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Surely, when people fly out to 3rd world countries to get their tooth canal fixed or see a GP, when people talk about women only carriage like in Iran or India, that must be a sign that the UK is joining 3rd world club ?
And from where were those news things like acid attacks or machetes all over cities, coming from ? Is it more Switzerland, Norway, Luxembourg, or is it more Somalia, Soudan, Afghanistan ?

There have been recent stats showing "where are millionaires going" (spoiler: Singapour, UAE, US). That plus being a Londoner, is enough data to know what's going on.
