    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    He’s not a fascist. George Orwell warned against the cheapening of the word ‘fascist’ and ‘Nazi’. You have no differentiation between Trump, Kirk, Farage, Netanyahu, Tommy Robinson and Nick Griffin. None of you were crying when Biden went after his political enemies and suppressed information...

    He’s also left footed so is naturally in that side. My suspicion is that Torp’s heat map would look somewhat the same to cover MVE’s overlaps. I could wrong, it’s an opinion based on intuition. Out of curiosity, where do you get these heat maps from?

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    His last 2 sub appearances have been decent and is more than capable as a sub striker, as is BTA. The latter though is just a square peg in a round hole out wide. He does a decent job but I think we end up playing 4-4-2 at this rate if EMC/Sakamoto pick up injuries. Sakamoto needs to step up...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Disagree, EMC is a much more effective LW, he definitely was last season. Kone wasn’t joining a team to be 2nd choice and to be frank, Haji has been a real top end striker for us this season. BTA has started well and then there’s Simms. Where we struggle is that we can’t change any wingers or...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Why? Haji has scored plenty of goals. Sakamoto and EMC have missed games already. We’ve had an international break and haven’t got to the weeks in Oct-Nov where we have a lot of weeks with 2 games. This is where attrition could really set in. Frankly, I reckon we’ll see a few games where we’re...

    A quick summary

    It's not meant as an insult to BTA when I say this, but EMC is a much better player to have on the wing. Again, watching the game today I just felt we didn't have anyone to come on and change the game. I thought Simms was ok, but the problem was getting chances to Haji in the first place...

    I’ve seen a ‘theory’ that this public spat has been engineered to promote the Green Party. Frankly, the concept of a new populist left party was baffling when the Greens existed in the first place. Across Europe the Green parties are either eco-socialists or part of a broader coalition of left...

    Property taxes and wealth taxes aren’t the same. Council tax is basically a v outdated version of property taxes. The proponents of a wealth tax haven’t considered how to calculate tax owed from wealth either. A lot of ‘wealth’ is fluid i.e. a stock portfolio or the value of company. What...

    With Labour slipping in the polls, I came across this electoral map which appears to show the Lib Dem’s would be the official opposition if an election was held. Obviously this isn’t what would happen, there were polls showing LD overtaking Tory in 2024 but paints a bleak picture for Labour & Tory.

    VAT for brick and mortar retail sites needs to be reduced. The high street is obviously doomed to fail if they have the same VAT as online marketplaces but with the overheads a store has v a warehouse in the middle of nowhere. In Portugal, their hospitality sector pays 7.5% VAT on food and...

    There are valid arguments to reform council tax (and stamp duty) with some sort of land value tax. A lot of other countries have something similar. Which is much easier to administer than a ‘wealth tax’ which has the effect of driving off wealth and therefore the tax base.

    Rich people basing themselves in the UK is a net positive. Again, the top 10% of taxpayers account for 60-70% of our tax revenues. If the ‘wealthy’ are paying a higher and higher percentage of tax revenues, the issue isn’t the Why has wealth inequality grown? 1) we’ve hollowed out our...

    Lampard to West Ham

    It’s a career ender. The best thing for Lampard’s career is to take us up because if we get relegated, it doesn’t go against him. Much like McKenna’s reputation at Ipswich is intact despite going down without much of a fight. West Ham are a big club but they have delusions of grandeur. They...

    Exactly. One thing Gary Stevenson omits is when talking about this tax regime is that most of the ‘loopholes’ have been closed e.g. benefits in kind were tax-free and companies could give interest free loans to executives and so on. A wealth tax is based on bad economics and A-level logic...

    Billionaires/multi-millionaires don’t get rich by earning an income. It’s all in assets and the wealth is in many cases ‘paper value’. For example, Elon funds his lifestyle by taking loans out with his shares as collateral. The idea of taxing ‘assets’ continuously is pretty pernicious and...
