Filed my tax return last week.

Wondering what the HMRC would have done if I'd neglected to declare £380,000 on account of the fact that "I don't do computers."

I cannot tell you how absolutely infuriatingly this stuff comes across to Europeans.

When we say America is no longer a reliable ally, it goes considerably deeper than Donald Trump himself. This kind of complacent, condescending shit is a *huge* part of it.

Nearly 400 millionaires and billionaires call for higher taxes on super-rich.

They know that a hostile environment is not conducive to accumulation. They can increase real wages for workers.

Govt can tax super-rich at higher rates, impose wealth tax and redistribute.

"Under the weather" is a funny way to spell "chicken"
Farage is apparently 'under the weather' today and unable to talk about the US threats to the UK and Europe over Greenland.

Which is unfortunate.
