A wealth tax will NOT work.
1 people don’t know their wealth.
2 if people don’t know, HMRC have no clue of knowing
3 it’s too easy to get round and too hard to prove.
Instead, we need:
1 A xborder transaction tax.
2 A transaction tax
3 Ownership of land or property has to be uk.

The BBC have the nerve to talk about Musks invulnerability and how bad it is that Grok will sexualise any woman, yet they still use X and advertise it as a contact method in nearly every program.
If you use X, you normalise and approve this. Which is exactly they do

Elon Musk's Grok AI alters images of women to digitally remove their clothes

Did Musk develop a generic democrat insulting app for members of the administration to use when they appear before the senate.
Get asked a question, press a button on the app, and it generates a random insult for you to use rather than actually answer the question.

Today or tomorrow and we get our joint signing announcement of two former women coming back to the club
Chloe Kelly and Taylor Hinds both on free transfers - both probably on good to very good wages, and both on long contracts.
Both, 27 and 26 respectively, in their prime.

And Chelsea prove the point perfectly.
They are called defenders for a reason - noticeably because their principle purpose is to defend - not to become extra attackers for 70% of the game.

Pretty good game and Arsenal have shown they can play at the same level of Lyon.
We just need to maintain it and concentration.
Of a bigger issue is how exposed the wingback set up (al la Chelsea, Arsenal, England) is to this kind of European football where they play 3 fast forwards.

Saturday insane heat 37C with very high humidity. (Only a few degrees from the warmest Melbourne March day ever recorded)
Sunday much cooler 25C and wet.
Very difficult setup

Why did every player lack a yard of pace?
Why did they abandon the Arsenal way of playing?
Why didn’t they have the desire to win that Liverpool had?
Probably the worse performance I’ve seen under Renee.

Champions Trophy.
It’s amazing what you can do if…
you play every game at a “home” venue.
You never have to travel.
You’ve already played on the batting strip.
You’ve played every game at the same ground.
You’re the only team that’s given the above “perks”.
India = gifted.

It’s not the first new medication for asthma in 50 years.
It’s not even the first new medication from this family of biologics.
