Those that remain on Monday & Friday surely like to have sexual relations with their mothers?

Nope. I mean Russia is irrelevant here? They are already committed. So if you're going to invade Iran, now would be the time to do it. But as with every US foreign policy intervention the calculation is woefully wrong: we are big & strong *therefore* we win. "It'll all be over in a few weeks etc;"

That was a tremendous blog. Thanks for sharing. Everything he says, btw, can be applied to everything in our economies. Who asked for this? Why can’t we have what we want? Why are there no markets any more - just funnels?

Mel Stride for the Tories lambasting reeves for reforming the fiscal rules so that she can invest. Hard to imagine a more tone deaf response. Tories have done no internal searching for why they lost and it shows.

Favouring investment where ‘economic return is greatest’ is why we have a bunch of Ponzi asset markets & decaying infrastructure? Patient, long term investment is what is needed. That is how we build a resilient economy.

I think it was an unfortunate headline designed to attract attention. Her point about restraint of protest is correct but to conflate this with what Vance wants - a platform for Far Right hate speech, is pretty naive.

To be honest, it’s all just free advertising for these awful people. They will be loving the attention. I would rather this report addressed the real problem - which is false reporting & lack of editorial oversight (or deliberate editorial scaremongering). Wasn’t there a time when this was not ok?

I might add that while building a new hospital is unlikely to make a dent at least it has some positive consequences on wages, health & productivity. Whereas the grotesque shambles of dirty money in our asset ‘markets’ (snort) brings nothing but negative consequences.

I’m surprised you don’t mention the current account? The reason we’re in this mess is because we’ve been a safe haven for capital fleeing domestic regulation. Without pressing this into useful investment we are left with insufficient savings to buffer against shocks (at every level) hence: debt.

Yes, I totally misread that! So in fact it’s probably more like a law of large numbers / wisdom of crowds effect - which is what you’d expect if conventional wisdom aggregates, intuitively, lots of prior experience.

Sorry to ask but if meta analyses are bullshit then what are we left with? It’s sort of common law vs judicial inquiry?

I think Vincent Bevins’ book is instructive. The problem facing all protest movements during this era is that they had no plan for what came next. Initial spontaneous conflagration appeared powerful & important - but it actually hardened the opposing forces. ‘Rejoin’ is a slogan but not a plan.

Definitely this!

Oh is that why? They’re always putting their music on in the car (Note: *I* had to listen to bloody Terry Wogan) & when I hum along they say: “how do you know this?” as if I spent 30 years in a Buddhist retreat before they came along.

IBM assisted in the fascist Final Solution by providing punch card technology to identify and track Jews. The punch cards were used in the death camps as well to track the genocide.
Now we have Palantir providing assistance to track all Americans.
Our fascists got a technology upgrade.
