Donald gives McDonald’s $10. McDonald’s gives him a hamburger. McDonald’s buys nothing from Donald. That’s a $10 trade deficit, not a $10 loss, because the stupid motherfucker received a hamburger.

'doxxing' is not the issue - nobody with the RNLI hides their identity nor could be exposed for hiding it. This is not about doxxing, it is about racists stalking and harassing innocent members of the public.

All day Piddington's womminfolk have been telling news how they will be terrified of "hundreds of young men nearby, free to come and go as they please." NOT ONE JOURNALIST has asked: "How did you cope when it was an army base? Who came and went then? Nuns?"
Soon as you ask that, all becomes clear.

The people of Piddington have spoken. I say, grant them independence. Border controls. Visas to cross into the UK. Tariffs on goods. No GBP. No NHS. No benefits or pensions.
Let us know when your little lilywhite enclave has gone all Mad Max and you started eating each other. BUH-BYE!

The OAP triple lock isn’t a problem. The cost of pension tax relief is. youtu.be/BfcjgWXk36c?... Commentators are saying we cannot afford pensions for the most vulnerable. But none of them is questioning the £83 billion a year spent subsidising the pensions of the wealthiest. Why is that?

He's causing massive damage to the U.S. economy. And at its core, the reason is that he has no idea what he's talking about. He has no idea what a trade deficit is. No clue. He thinks that it's like a business operating at a loss.

Billionaires who don't pay taxes give tens of millions of pounds to the racist right while newspapers owned by billionaires who don't pay taxes smear the politicians who challenge them. Because they want to ensure 'a fair fight and a level playing field', apparently.

I think what Badenoch meant to say here is: “British employers are dependent on welfare to subsidise a massively underpaid workforce” - particularly when you consider that around 40% of claimants are actually in work.
But that’s just me splitting hairs, I suppose.

One reason England does so well is our second generation immigrants outperform their peers which is not true in most OECD countries.
We are also very good at integration. And it's v sad that this is never acknowledge in debates on immigration.
