To be fair I think she's still in training...Though I always thought that Marxism was dialectical anyway, so actually it was likely to be changing in the light of evidence, all the time. Yet a decided...

I'm appalled as we all are, by the murders at the beautiful Bondi Beach. Was it a terrorist attack? Very probably. Yet downplayed is that a Muslim Australian tried to disarm a gunman at considerable a...

We now learn that yet another think tank is to be created - mind you this one to be called Verdant, is on the left. Whether it is - economically at least, is highly doubtful because, although Deborah ...

But I fear it probably is: These staggering figures are just, straight immoral. No wonder she doesn't do interviews...

We have known this - or should have, since 1866. And, one might have thought, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, being a chess champion (of whatever sort) might have been more aware of the notion of 'ch...

The rich mostly increase their wealth by leeching off sources of government money - the government can never default and they tend to do things that people cannot do without, so a nice government cont...

What? a link to a video of the Tucker Carlson Show on a progressive blog? Yes it is for real, and surprisingly, well worth the two and three quarter hours it takes - I did it at two sittings. Fortunat...

In the engaging argument between Richard Murphy and Grace Blakeley, Grace Blakeley thinks that Modern Monetary Theory is correct but concludes with exaggerated emphasis I think: Socialists who sympath...

This is a difficult area both for me (I struggle in understanding it clearly) and also I suggest, for Modern Money, or if you prefer Modern Monetary Theory which is, of course, how government creates ...

This is what David Lammy tweeted in 2020: What Lammy thought was a bad idea in 2020 it appears is now set to be government policy changed by - er - David Lammy. What changed apart from the Austerity m...

We are continually told including, of course, in today's budget, that Britain has lower productivity than other comparable countries.What we are never told is that the privatisation of services that w...

Even building societies cannot avoid being an integral part of it... I have some savings with Skipton so I suppose that I must look like a good target for their 'booster' mortgage. They have taken a l...

Their concentration should, I've reluctantly concluded, not be on the academic concept or even the promotion of the practicality of how money is created - but rather on opposing the actual deceptions ...

My very intermittent posting is caused by partner being suddenly diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. Within a month she has somehow gone from walking most weekends about 6-10 miles on Dartmoor and s...

No, he isn't... Is the short answer. Is he going to break the American media coverage of his 'activities'? Possibly. But, fortunately for us, his bluff and bullying cannot work in the UK in an English...

Deal would exclude ITV Studios but would mark major shake-up of UK television The parent company of Sky is in talks to buy ITV’s broadcasting business for about £2bn, two decades after James Murdoch made an audacious move to become the biggest shareholder in the UK’s largest commercial free-to-air broadcaster. The US media company Comcast, which owns assets including Universal Studios and bought Rupert Murdoch’s Sky for £30bn in 2018, is in talks to buy ITV’s broadcasting arm, which includes its TV channels and streaming service ITVX.

Old clip but very funny and importantly, the arguments on immigration have not changed even if Farage is now in charge of 'Reform' rather than UKIP: https://youtu.be/Y38pbfJ4i_U ...

Dr Dan Goyal maintains that the collective power that used to benefit everyone has been hijacked in order to benefit a few.Humans are in effect the dominant predator only because of the ability to soc...

Which was suggested to me and is regularly suggested in the right (paucity of) 'thinking' media. In fact pensions are not 'unsustainable' - and, for what it is worth the NI fund is, even now, in surpl...

Including his intriguing solution to limit the amount banks can lend on a house and then an 'affordable housing authority' to lend at zero interest = well worth the 14 minutes: https://youtu.be/rSuacx...
