    P.Diddy Jay Z accusations

    I read that 50 Cent was also throwing around some accusations a while back.

    Has social media made the UK more right wing?

    It depends what you mean by 'socialism' of course, but the very fact that pre-Thatcher, there were whole industries of state-owned manufacturing suggests that it was a fairly normal, mainstream position to hold. That doesn't mean that going full Stalin was ever a mainstream opinion in the UK...

    Crypto scammer SBF gets 25 years!

    The moral of the story: never steal from rich people. If all of his investors had been ordinary people losing their life savings, he'd probably be the director of another financial institution by now. I have no evidence for any of the above. It's an entirely baseless rant based purely on my...

    P.Diddy Jay Z accusations

    Were there actually any allegations about Gary Glitter from during his career? I don't remember any. It seemed like he basically retired from rock and then became a paedo in his retirement.

    P.Diddy Jay Z accusations

    Yep, the issue is rich, famous, powerful men who feel untouchable because they make a lot of money for some even richer, more powerful people. And a crime that is very difficult to prove. Having said that, it's worth not completely dismissing the link between the messages and the actions. Men...

    Laurence Fox launches political party

    Interesting use of the word 'barred' but I guess that makes a better story than 'man fails to successfully submit paperwork to stand for mayoral election.'

    Vinicius Junior

    Yep, but they'd be genuinely shocked if you suggested it, I bet.

    Vinicius Junior

    I think there's also potentially an issue where people who wouldn't dream of being racist in their day-to-day life think that anything is 'fair game' when trying to wind up an opposition player.

    Has social media made the UK more right wing?

    Let's be honest though, a lot of that is simply due to the government we have. People moan about the government, so if the government is right wing, the most vocal criticism are likely to come from the left. Particularly with the current government, which even most Tory voters would admit is on...

    Vat on Independent school fees?

    I know I always feel luxurious every time I drink a bottle of Volvic.

    Vat on Independent school fees?

    The main issue of course is that the families that will be most affected by it are the ones that are most deserving of sympathy. The people who never have a holiday and drive a shitty old car so they can send their kids to private school instead. The actual elite won't give much of a shit about...

    The Conservative Party/Government

    I have no problem with Reform spending the next 20 years splitting the right, if I'm honest. Unfortunately, that's not usually what happens, and Tories tend to vote Tory when push comes to shove, which is why UKIP never won a single seat in how many attempts?

    Vat on Independent school fees?

    It's sort of irrelevant anyway. Things aren't zero-rated because they're "essential" items. Aircraft are zero rated. Gambling is zero-rated. Meanwhile electricity, mobility aids and sanitary items are rated at 5%. Prams are 20%. Stationary is 20%. Private schools are zero-rated because...

    Vat on Independent school fees?

    Yep. I'm doing a masters at Manchester Uni right now. There was no VAT on my tuition fees. And that's because obviously the government would like to encourage people to spend money on education, because it's generally a social benefit. Whether private schools are a social benefit is another...
