So it's only the top 0.1% who should pay more tax than the elected government decrees they should pay? Given what Labour is wasting the taxpayers money on, I wouldn't want to give them a penny more than I needed to either. Especially when the government is so clearly a proponent of the "politics of envy" that achieves nothing more than driving the wealthy out of the country to pay less tax elsewhere. If I were these two I would pay as little tax as possible and then donate privately to my preferred causes. Which is exactly what they are doing.

Once the police started doing their job instead of bringing them cucumber sandwiches and arresting anyone who became angered by their selfish disruption, they folded pretty quickly. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/just-stop-oil-jailed-m25-environmental-protest-b2582111.html I'm not sure the likes of Lucia and Cressida ever thought they'd see (or were cut out for) the inside of a jail cell.

Labour driving out the wealthy and successful only to replaced by... well you know. The fall of Britain continues at pace under Labour.

What's the message? "Not Kamala"?

See how easily they folded when the police/courts finally stood up to them? The only thing they succeeded at was making the general public despise them. Great job. 😆

Nothing mysterious about Giuffre's suicide. She'd burnt all her bridges and had nowhere left to go. Karma caught up with her. Sad, but not mysterious. Diana's death wasn't really "mysterious" either. She got into the car of a drunk driver and didn't put on a seat belt. I do think Epstein's "suicide" was shifty though. But that's probably for another thread.

He was probably after a full time gig at The BBC and thought he'd make it perfectly clear that his political stance was in line with theirs. In hindsight, it would have been easier to just lie on his CV like the BBC's fact checker girl.

Just build some Thai style prisons. 50 to a cell. Sleep on the concrete floor. Bread and water twice a day. We could keep illegal immigrants in there until they can pay for a flight home.

All we need to do now is elect Reform, leave the ECHR and actually implement Brexit.

Serious issues with these activist extremist lefty judges in the US. They need to drain the swamp. A decade in prison would set a good precedent to set with this lunatic.

A bit unfair to compare Guiffre to Thai bargirls. They don't fabricate stories years after the transaction is complete to ruin someone's life.

I'd be wary of the renal failure stories. She was lieing about the "terrible" car crash as recently as a few weeks ago. To be honest I'm not sure I believe this story either until there is a verified report of her death. Could just be another stunt to get compensation, just like her sex trafficking stories. #believeallwomen

Very sad. Her recent lies about the "4 days to live" traffic accident indicated she had continued serious mental health issues, following the plethora of lies about being trafficked to Prince Andrew. My thoughts go out to her husband, children and all the other people negatively affected by her severe psychological issues.

Unless you export to the US of course. But hey, nobody does that right?

The EU will be gone within 10 years so they better hurry up.

Intelligence, ability to perform under pressure, concentration levels, confidence. Take away the physical element and men still win. Chess is a good example. That's why you ladies need a separate category. Unless of course we get a new sport called gaslighting and getting the last word in an argument. Women could maybe compete in that.

So there are no daughters of wealthy sponsors? Why aren't they plodding around? Fact is they cannot compete at the very highest level. I'm saying the best male is far better than the best female. I bet anyone in the men's top 50 would easily beat that woman who made a 147 "in practice". Probably top 100. I remember in tennis the men's number 200 beat Serena Williams easily. Yes, they want to see the best of the best at The Masters. The creme de la creme. Not shoehorn in some women for the sake of it. If you want to watch women play they have the women's tour. But the standard is nowhere near.

Makes you wonder why he doesn't just do it across the board if he recognizes the unfairness of it at other levels. Seems like he is throwing his toys out of the pram. They are quitting X as well. 😆 https://www.bbc.com/sport/athletics/articles/cwynx45gxglo What a big girl's blouse. 😆

They can't get sponsorship because they are not fast enough. Impressive for a woman, but that wasn't even in competition. Jackson Page just made 2 147s in the same match. Ronnie O'Sullivan has 15 in competitons, including one in just over 5 minutes. Not even close to the same level. Yes. Allowing women to participate just lowers the standard, it's a gimmick for the Woke lobby to salivate over and opens the door for men to compete in and ultimately dominate Women's sport. The categories exist for a reason and should remain separate.

I think Sumo wrestling takes care of that.

Compete? I think you mean "participate".

In the Thai army you're in a position to mow the General's lawn or clean the Sergeant's Benz.

They need to work this out. Legalize it and tax it same as most countries do. Otherwise I can see a huge impact on the tourist industry when news gets out on social media of people being unable to vape during their well earned 2 weeks in the sun, or worse - locked up for doing so.

The law as it stands now is perfectly. Flouting it because you await future potential rulings that may or may not go your way is not a sensible approach.

They are not equal. There is more to sports than physical strength. There is the psychological element to sport which is huge. Also spatial awareness. Hand-eye co-ordination etc. That's why men overall beat women at non physical sports as well as physical.
