PS: Here's the graph for inequality by country.

Wealth inequality in the UK is the same as it was in 1997 and is only 1% higher than 1980. See below. Again, this will surprise. I've been trying to work out why we are so unhappy and turning to people the PM calls 'snake oil sellers' (fake medicine) AKA populists and how I should think about that.

This is the boorish sexism of the person called ‘Harry Krishna’ (pathetic pun) who claims to be progressive but is in fact today’s cheapo Russell Brand

Are you sure that is a fact?

If there's no requirement for the Canadian PM to be an MP, why is there a requirement for the leader of the opposition to be an MP. Surely they can both use glove puppets until they get a seat.

I assume this applies to the UK too in theory. But very difficult for either to pull off in practice.

I was asked about inflation. This shows inflation falling (with ups and downs). As you know that does not lead to price falls. That would be deflation.

None of that makes prices affordable. We are building more council homes for low rent and to increase supply and reduce cost in the wider market.

I was asked about house price inflation. It rises then falls back lower than the start then crashes (with the GFC)

House price inflation falling under new Labour

Italy's excellent system does the same. I'll go with people with expertise not non mathematical theory.

The original post alleged genocide which is a very specific charge. You supported this. The evidence you provided related to crimes that are specifically not genocide. Why didn’t the court charge anyone - Israel or Hamas - with genocide then? You say ‘obtuse’. I say wanting accuracy.
