It's a tax "raid". When you or I pay our income tax it's just a tax. But when a fabulously wealthy millionaire who refuses to contribute to the country whose public services they use (and yes, they use roads, defence, police etc) it's a "raid".

In 2023, I was told by a police officer in Kharkiv that if Ukraine loses the war, “all of Europe will burn.”
We need to understand this. Parts of Europe understand it but too many people in the UK still think the war is “over there”. It’s not us and them. Ukraine is us.

This buffoon blames Zelensky for starting the war that Russia waged on his nation...........what the hell hope is there for Ukraine with Trump involved? Europe must stand firm with Ukraine and stop this madness......
Donald Trump spoke to reporters about the upcoming summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska later this week
The US president said he 'wants a meeting between the two leaders' and said 'I think it'll get solved'.

Effective cancer vaccines combined with checkpoint inhibitors has to be the way to prevent cancer while reducing the risk of autoimmunity. To limit research on this is criminal.
'The results come amid recent news that officials at the National Institutes of Health are telling scientists to avoid mentioning mRNA vaccine technology in grant applications. It’s a move that could significantly hamper the advancement of mRNA vaccines in cancer research & patient care'
An mRNA cancer vaccine may offer long-term protection
A vaccine kept patients free of pancreatic cancer for years, yet new reports say the NIH is advising against mentioning mRNA tech in grants.

This is potentially devastating. Surely, this meeting should be reconvened at the World Influenza Centre in London, urgently.
This is very bad. “A panel of scientific experts that advises the Food and Drug Administration on vaccine policy — and has been the target of criticism from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — learned on Wednesday that its upcoming meeting to discuss next year’s flu vaccines has been canceled.”
F.D.A. Cancels Meeting of Vaccine Experts Scheduled to Advise on Flu Shots
The cancellation plays into fears among scientists who worry that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will use his position as health secretary to sow doubts about vaccines.
