1. Origins in Conservative 1972 “dash for growth” budget.
2. Only half of loan drawn & repaid in full by May 1979.
3. Treasury “Borrowing” requirement grossly overstated.
4. UK floated sterling in 1971. Debt in own currency. 0% Bankruptcy chance.
Another week, and the same old tory lies, utterly devoid of logic, but full of hate: The idea that the rich need more incentives to get richer, and the poor need to be punished for being poor. I hate them so much.
Can never love this guy enough. He's already so fun with his weapon knowledge and stuntwork but also confidently tells people off when they push harsh beauty standards on him and his partner.
And yep, TRANS RIGHTS BABYYYYY 💖💙🤍
With the heroes of the @RNLI under attack again, I’m reminded of this passage from Bill Bryson.
ALT I had never really stopped to consider what an extraordinary thing the Royal National Lifeboat Institution is. Think about it. A troubled ship calls for help, and eight people - teachers, plumbers, the guy who runs the pub - drop everything and put to sea, whatever the weather, asking no questions, imperilling their own lives, to try to help strangers. Is there anything more brave and noble than that? The RNLI - I looked this up later - is an organization run by volunteers, supported entirely by public donations. It maintains 233 stations around the coast of Britain and averages twenty-two call-outs per day. It saves 350 lives a year on average.
Thanks for adding to the endless stream of daft 'wellakshually, I think you'll find X & Y are more iconic' tweets. You've done wonders for promoting the event.
