In politics, the obvious, time-honoured rules about incentives, human behaviour, and rational calculation seem to count for nothing. Surrealism rules in politics more than in any other sphere of life.

Funding ‘flows’ of this kind explain why government is both expensive and inept. The capital budget gets destroyed, investment falls and direct services deteriorate.

Eh? Can somebody explain why Bradford Council is spending £54 grand A DAY taxiing children to and from school? Would be happy to hear if there's a good explanation for this. @Wayne_Dixon @WhetstoneSDP

At present the idea of banning smartphones for U16s seems bold to some - although surveys show very high public support for this among parents. Once the appalling consequences of this smartphone/SM epidemic are fully understood a ban will be the accepted remedy.

This is of course only a meme, but like many memes it is successful because it contains a kernel of truth. Since the last election, the government has spent more than 10x on the Ukraine war than on levelling up. Same on refugees. Don't let them tell you there was no money.

'We cannot go on consuming and importing more than we produce and export' writes @NJ_Timothy. An indifference to industry has beggared Britain. We must re-industrialise. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/2…
.@ClarkeMicah, Tories hold a nonsensical position, namely, that foreign states can run our railways but the British state can not. Deeply unpatriotic.

If the Tories had been smart — which they aren’t and weren’t — they have scrapped net zero and put all the money into these. They should have told Rolls Royce they want one for every county in England by 2060.

Between 1808-1860, the Royal Navy’s West Africa Squadron captured 1600 slave ships and freed 150,000 slaves. Great Britain had tasked herself with suppressing slavery despite this great evil being the global norm. Below shows a sketch of a ship used in this squadron. This…

Denied asylum in Italy & Germany. Arrived in UK illegally in 2020 then claimed asylum here. Flatmates complained to police that he was dangerous. Asylum claim still hadn't been processed by late 2023 when he decided to murder a pensioner in the street. Absolutely insane system.

I've had the pleasure to have talked with Mr Bettney. Proper man: served his country, took men into battle, set up a successful business. As you'd expect, he has an aura of integrity, authority, and having seen real life. In other words, the opposite of most politicians.

Why on earth is R4’s Thought for the Day being used as a campaigning platform against assisted dying?! #r4Today
@ross_baglin Not really, it’s not available “if all else fails” it’s on condition they don’t go through the appeal process - which obviously costs the tax payer considerably more.
@ross_baglin It’s called the Facilitated Return Scheme and has been operational since 2006. Nothing new. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/65f17f54…
Interesting how fast this is all collapsing. But it's a lesson to political parties who make "woke" issues central to their platform. Wokery and Net Zero are collapsing. When they're gone, you still need a philosophical platform to justify your continued existence.
- Sex defined purely as biological sex - 'Trans women' (men) banned from women-only wards - An return to the use of the word Woman. - No more language like 'chestfeeders' or 'people who give birth' The NHS is returning to sanity: telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/3…
Only Christians get this treatment. Why? People aren’t afraid of being shot, stabbed or blown up in Britain by fundamentalist Christians.

Meet my new buddy, Buddy.
There is a crisis of meaning and purpose in our post-Christian world. I wonder if the four horsemen of New Atheism who I still so admire would have been quite as keen for tear down religion if they had seen where it would take us in advance? My take on the Atheism Delusion:
It’s actually really concerning how many people - mainly young men - idolise the misogynistic scam-artist, Andrew Tate. He’s a charlatan charging $50/month for a discord server he calls a university. If you unironically talk about ‘escaping the matrix’, you’re a muppet…
Funding ‘flows’ of this kind explain why government is both expensive and inept. The capital budget gets destroyed, investment falls and direct services deteriorate.
TIL. Astounding. An example of this below. Bradford council spending £54,000 *a day* to taxi about 1500 kids to and from school. Eligibility for this has seen a 50% increase over the past 5 years. thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/24000848.…
@KyleWOrton It’s all about me, me, me - we are the victims, ok we created the situation but now we have made a mess you need to help us (sounds familiar)
Columbia student demands food and water from the university. "This is, like, basic humanitarian aid we're asking for", she says. "Do you want students to die of dehydration and starvation?" Just perfect. Absolutely beyond parody.

The Tory failure to ramp up RR SMRs has been both typical and demoralising.
Rolls Royce now has full government permission to move forward with its plan to deploy its 470 MW SMRs in Poland. Article link in reply.
Not bad. Completely different drink to Guinness though.
Thoughts on Guinness Zero?
It’s also worth noting that the class that lost the most young people as a percentage of their number in the First World War was the British aristocracy. You nobles rushed to the front line and were slaughtered. Hardly a great old family was left untouched.
"After the Roman Empire lost at the Battle of Cannae, the Senate became 40% undermanned, because Roman leaders actually served in the defense of their Republic. Today, America’s elites spend their time on Wall Street or in think tanks gathering degrees and attending conferences."
BLM. Lockdown. Gender. Net Zero. Now Hamas. We’re dragged from one mindless fad to another, prey to the passing fancies of narcissists. We need to put our collective foot down. Say No. Let’s promise ourselves that we’ll stop them even hatching the next lunacy. Can we do…
