The government shouldn’t pin all of its hopes for economic growth on the finance industry
Such a strategy was tried in 1970s and came to grief in the mid-1970s secondary banking crash.

After the explosion 200 Ukr. POW’s came to Makivka 97 while I was there and spoke of the atrocities being committed at Olenivka. One guy saying to me that he was electrocuted by his genitalia, which is enough to put anybody off eating their Sunday breakfast.
Footage emerged of the assassination of the Olenivka prison chief Yevsiukov in Donetsk. A plastique charge (~100g TNT equivalent) was planted under his Toyota Land Cruiser and detonated once he entered the vehicle.

My hunch is that not a single one of the ‘ordinary people’ to whom the ridiculous Kemi Badenoch is trying to appeal can remotely identify with someone who hates sandwiches so much she has steak brought to her by someone for lunch everyday. Apart from being preposterous it would also be v expensive.

It shouldn’t be ignored that Kash Patel chose to plead the Fifth in response to a grand jury subpoena over the Mar-a-Lago classified documents.
He only testified, involuntarily, after being granted immunity.
Think about that. Trump’s FBI nominee pled the Fifth in response to a DOJ subpoena.
