I spoke to a lot of the "new" team not all that long ago, and I know people like Andy Chamberlin very well indeed. Yes they know what they are doing, it's just that they aren't really doing it for us old traditional grafters whose market is rapidly disappearing. That said, there is a huge...

that modern
You persist in mixing ancient and modern history. The reality is Israel was granted to the Jews in reparation for the horrors of Nazi Germany and they decided their ancient homeland would be a suitable e place for a new homeland. There was much struggle to establish that original Israel...Last edited by malvolio; 30 August 2024, 10:50.

To be honest, I will be making some hard and rather selfish plans if my not insignificant pension fund is going to be subject to IHT. I fully intend spending it to make my old age very comfortable and escape the IHT penalty that way. The family will get the house; even after the current IHT penalty...

By "the Rich" you mean anyone that's worked hard enough to have a mortgaged house, some savings and an income somewhere around the national average? Because that is the target. The rich, being much more able to escape, they will simply drive out of the country.
It's all going...

We don't mean to be rude (OK, I tend to be... ) but perhaps if you had answered the questions trying to ascertain why you are asking what you are trying to do, we might have come up with something more constructive.
Anyone asking a seemingly silly question (it may not be one, clearly)...

You do know that Israel has over 2 million Palestinians living and working in Israel on top of the Gazans and West Bank people allowed into work on a daily basis? Israel's incursions were intended to protect their own borders originally, the only arguably illegal bit was allowing the occupation of the...

That is not in dispute. It is the methods they choose to employ that are the issue. Methods that are supported by regimes that do not stoop to such depths themselves but find it handy to have a few thousand depraved terrorists to do it for them
Now how about you stop trying to be cleve...

I don't think they do, actually.
Firstly EVs have power as soon as you press the accelerator, no waiting around to engage the clutch nice and smoothly, or for the torque convertor or auto-clutch to do its thing. Take off is pretty much instant.
Secondly the general standard...

malvolio replied to Man of the people earns over £1million a year on top of the job he is supposed to doin GeneralI disagree that they are the third party .Like the LDs under Clegg they benefitted from a bravura performance at a time when people were looking for a change. Like the LDs they have no viable policies, only a load of populist ideas that are already out there in one form or another. If (when?) Starmer...

malvolio replied to Man of the people earns over £1million a year on top of the job he is supposed to doin GeneralCome on, he's a media personality. Of course he has a stupid income from his various side ventures. But as we have seen with other media luvvies like Huw and the sainted Gary, such income is no guarantee of worth.
I also believe several other politicians, of rather greater import than Farage,...

To be fair, the Promised Land was granted to Moses and the tribes by a rather higher authority than Balfour. You may recall they had to take it and then defend it against assorted other tribes, such as the Hittites and the Samaritans, with whom they later made peace. I think their historic right to...

Bollocks. That damage has been repaired, the economy is doing quite well by all realistic measures, and was doing so before the election. Reeves is well on her way to doing the same damage as Truss, but rather more slowly. Shame you can't see that. After all, it's you who will be paying for her excesses....Last edited by malvolio; 16 August 2024, 14:35.
