Because it’s a reliable source with that offers reporting on a broad spectrum of subjects. That said you’ll not find much discussion of what dress some tv star wore last night, or anything on the lover’s tiff going on between someone who was once in a girl band.

And the papers with the widest readership are?

I didn’t give any Guardian sources, so why your fixation with the Guardian? Privatizing the NHS by stealth: https://www.counterfire.org/articles/opinion/23459-taking-our-health-by-stealth-the-truth-about-nhs-privatisation Right to buy and housing crisis: https://cles.org.uk/blog/to-fix-englands-housing-crisis-scrap-right-to-buy/ Apprenticeships: https://www.academia.edu/7606267/The_decline_of_apprenticeship_training_in_Britain Final salary pensions closing: https://intelligent-partnership.com/hundreds-of-gold-plated-final-salary-pension-schemes-close/ Neoliberalism and corporate power: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/1024529420910382 Should be enough reading for you.

And there’s your best response. You haven’t challenged a single thing I said, you just baselessly label it ‘Guardian Rubbish’ and ‘fake events’, despite I and many others remembering these events.

Perhaps you’d like to give examples of which of the events I’ve referred to didn’t happen, or aren’t correct?

I wouldn’t say the UK is ‘Broken’ rather its bent and twisted. In the decades since 1979 (the advent of neoliberalism in the UK) the laws and regulations have been rigged in favour of the wealthy to the detriment of everyone else. The rail system, broken up, stripped of its assets and sold on for the profit of the few. Utility companies got the same treatment, and customers got massively increased bills. The public housing stock sold off and local authorities stripped of government funding so no replacement housing could be built, rigging the housing market in readiness for ‘buy yo let’, AKA placing private landlords in direct competition for ‘low cost housing units’ - jacking up the prices. Public housing policy designed, not to provide housing, but to prop up the price of an already over inflated market. Deregulation of the banking and financial systems, more asset stripping of industry. Lightly regulated Banks and the financial institutions gambling with customer’s money, knowing their gambles were underwritten by ‘too big to fall’ government backing, at cost to tax payers and a decade of ‘austerity’ that decimated public services. The UK’s world class system of Apprenticeships, wiped out, and with it a path to a decent life millions had made use of, denied their children and grandchildren. Workplace benefits stripped back, workplace pensions devalued and removed while state pensions pushed further back from people as they aged. The stealth privatization of the NHS, big announcements of increased funding, with the small print dictating the funds must be used to contract out services private companies. Dentistry practically out of reach for millions unless they can pay to private. GP appointments now a ‘promise to improve’ to a 2 week wait. Zero hour contracts, the gig economy, a precarious uncertainty for millions rather than a contract of employment. Deregulation for businesses while workers unions corralled with ever more laws to stop them representing their members. And then there’s the twist. People barely off the bottom rung, kicking those below them while fawning over those above. People giving up their rights and freedoms in favour of more neoliberalism, more power and wealth to the already wealthy, backing evermore cuts to welfare and of course blaming foreigners. The place is bent and bitterly twisted.

Gross generalizations your thing then.

"I've already said I'm sorry hundreds of times, and I'm done saying I'm sorry," You’re not done yet Jones, hand over $965,000,000.

I’m only surprised he figured out he should get out his camper before setting it aflame.

Walk into any University library anywhere in the UK at 9pm on a Friday night and the majority of students with their nose in a book will be Asians, almost all the rest will be immigrants from other parts of the world.

It’s important to get the right talent where ever you can find it.

A switch in your argument which exposes the blind bias of your earlier comment.

Together with many of the west’s largest and most profitable corporations.

The philosophy of mathematics, the science of optics, written language, ink and paper, numerals and base 10 counting, the science of medicine, astronomy, agriculture, irrigation, the measurement of time, trans ocean navigation, cooking, music, dance. Stuff that exposes your ignorance.

Utter nonsense. Where is your evidence that they are mostly criminals? It’s a rhetorical question because you don’t have any evidence.

White men didn’t create everything, far from it. There are many things broken in Britain, amongst which is white male grievance.

I don’t think the DOJ under its current leadership fears anything.

There is a ‘tax domicile test’, it’s very easy to become ‘tax domiciled’ in the UK if you own UK property, have a UK pension, life assurance, bank accounts, UK based dependent family etc. I suspect many UK origin expats in Thailand who are living of rental income and pensions from the UK are in fact UK tax domiciled.

Might earn in the future.

But you’re not one of the small number of people who make decisions on national credit ratings, or institutional investment. The BoE is effectively manipulating the price of Sterling to provide the UK economy short term protection against the lunacy coming out of No10 and No 11. That manipulation is about to end. The lunacy is not.

Just so we all know what we have here: ”He had the entire deep state and mainstream media working dishonestly to protect him.” Don’t waste your time arguing with that kind of off the Q nonsense.

Odd, because I’ve submitted my self assessment to HMRC from 6 different counties and I’ve always given my overseas address when making the return.

RIP, and thank you for years of entertainment.

The BoE has announced it will end buying gilts to prop up the pound. It’s not going to be pretty.

I’ve been dozens of times. I used to compete in events at Saffron Lane Velodrome. I swear I’ve still got splinters in my nether regions from battling with other young men. You should have seen it Proton, real aggression, often skin removed and sometimes limbs broken. Leicester was renowned as a place for ‘battling’. It was also the scene of what for me is a memorable example of racism. My team mate was cleaning up, winning almost every race. A woman commented on how superb he was and asked, ‘is he in the national squad?’, to which a guy the other side of me replied (in what I refer to as a London Cabbie accent’) ‘Nah, he’s not getting in the squad he’s a <deleted> Yid’. The racist remark was made by one of the ‘Blazers’, the people who run the sport, at that time predominantly London Masons. Yes, I’ve been to Leicester dozens of times, on the whole my memories are happy, but not entirely so.
