In what way is he hoarding wealth? He owns multiple businesses. He is responsible for creating businesses and jobs and donations all over the world. Wait and see what our tax bills will be when the high earners leave.

Our lifestyles are funded by people like this. Rokos paid 0.1% of HMRC’s entire income tax receipts. He went to Greece which is more welcoming. Italy too. Never forget that people have choices as to where to live. We aren’t the Soviet Union.

Estoy comiendo con mis padres y oigo en el telediario de Antena 3: «si Alternativa por Alemania obtuviera mayoría absoluta en estas elecciones regionales, sería la primera vez que la ultraderecha gana en Alemania desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial». Y se quedan tan anchos.

There. is. no. housing. shortage. There are approximately 50,000 unsold new homes For Sale at the moment. It’s well documented that developers drip feed stock to the market to maintain prices, so the true amount of unsold new homes will be significantly higher. They’re currently under investigation by the CMA for anti competitive practices. The volume of unsold second hand homes for sale is the highest in 8 or 12 years depending on whose data you use. Mortgage rates are low, lenders are flooding the market with offers, 6 x salary etc, so there’s nothing standing in the way of people buying. There are also between 750,000 and 1.3m officially vacant long term empty homes available to be incentivised back into circulation. THERE IS NO HOUSING SHORTAGE. It’s a myth peddled by house-builders, challenged by no one and believed without question by everyone including politicians. Yes, there is a shortage of homes for sale at prices that people can afford. Or, there’s a shortage of money, not houses. It’s not a housing crisis, it’s a cost of housing crisis, but that uncomfortable truth doesn’t suit the major vested interests who need to keep pumping prices to stay in business. It’s a mess.

In Germany that would contravene the rules of the road. You have to merge at the end, not push in earlier, as in that way you maximise road space. And you must alternate.

I went skiing in Colorado 30 years ago and you had the same system for skiers (unlike in Europe where skiers push in and don’t alternate, oddly).

4/ So, for 40% of London households, an admittedly small flat where a third of the city's population lives is affordable. Allowing for the fact that many inner London residents are in social housing and others bought their homes a long time ago, it doesn't seem unusual. ...

No they didn't. That's Photoshopped (and not very well).

Case in point-me. Had a 9% payrise in Jan when Inflation was 11%. It didn’t even cover the increase in our utilities, food & mortgage so I’m still worse off than last year. Solve those issues & you sort inflation & all are linked to what many would now class as ‘excess profits’

We need to curb the exponential rise of the human population. The planet is already creaking. So choosing not to have children cannot be "bad".

For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help. I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).

Beschämend #UEFA. #Rassismus & #Homophobie sind 2 Seiten einer schmutzigen Medaille. Zu sagen, ich zeige mich nicht gegen Rassismus, weil ich "nicht politisch" sein will, wäre genau so feige & falsch! Und das seid ihr. Es geht hier um Diskrimierung & Menschenwürde #Euro2020 #DDD
