Rachel Reeves signals plan to remove two-child benefit cap in budget.
Welcome. Would lift 350,000 children out of poverty.
Why did Starmer/Reeves follow the Tory policy? Why did 7 MPs have their whip withdrawn for voting against the policy?
What was the point of making children suffer?

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

NHS staff who care for patients in their own homes fear some areas have become “no-go zones” for them because of the presence of St George’s flags, health leaders have said.
Black and Asian staff have been left feeling “deliberately intimidated” as a result of the flags that were put up in many parts of England during the summer, according to the chief executive of one NHS trust in England, who asked to remain anonymous. Continue reading...

It’s a problem that will increasingly resolve itself, and I don’t think it’s obvious that our focus should be on aiding the people who are demanding crackdowns, rather than the ones saying people should be left alone to go about their business in peace.

Worth wondering how many different major British institutions have to be deeply malicious, for a story like this to appear.

Example: Rule Britannia being “banned at the Proms” in 2020, when everyone talking about it fully understood there was no choral signing at all for Covid restrictions. That didn’t prevent two weeks of wild terror that patriotism had been proscribed, to avoid offending non-white people.

Sure, but it’s worse in Britain rather than better: in America, they historically had Fox News and a newspaper or two as the crackpot media outlets. In Britain, almost every media outlet is a bit Fox News and when there’s a new bullshit outrage, all of them have run with it.

the prequels are bad movies but at least they are in some way art - confused, badly executed art, but with the kernel of creativity and substance in them. 8 is like that too. 7 and 9 are just voids, a product of a spiritually bankrupt creation process.

I went to see it in a small screen in Banbury where the mood was exhilarated going in and utterly deflated afterwards. And then just because I couldn’t believe it had actually been as bad as it was I went to see it on a massive screen in London.

the "invisible hand" thing is more of an aside, and more of a companion piece to his whole "imagination is the source of empathy" thing from Theory of Moral Sentiments.
Mostly it's "Hey! Hoarding gold is bad economics actually! Having the stuff that gold buys is better, because it does stuff!"
