In one of the Ezio games you spent a lot of time running around ruined Rome collecting an outfit used by a prior Roman assassin. So the stub for the legend is there.

The worst thing that could happen is if they added ‘Great’ to ‘Britcard’ because I’d never be able to unroll my eyes again.

It probably doesn’t matter how it ends or who wins, only that we tear ourselves apart getting there. Chaos is the point.

@danneidle.bsky.social covers this in the last episode of his excellent short series on BBC sounds. The curve does exist but it’s different for each tax and doesn’t have any meaningful labels. It’s marketing not science.

A Banksy project to paint looney tunes tunnels will do the trick.

The Laffer curve assumes tax rates range from 0% to 100% but the top of the curve could be at any point along that line and will differ for each tax. It’s always used to say we’re near the top and never that we have a way to go. We can’t *know* how much headroom there is for each tax.

Nobody knows where the top of the Laffer curve is, they just use it as a way to say we’re too close to the top. That’s its great deceit.

Unless you can show me where the top of the Laffer curve is you’re just making excuses. Everything they’ve done so far is tweaking around the edges and we’re long past the tweaking stage.

The proper unpopular change should have been to increase taxation and redistribute it to local authorities to make actual change in people’s day to day lives.
Which is not to disagree with your statement but they should be doing a lot better.

TBF he tweets or ‘truths’ every single fucking ‘thought’ he has anyway and it becomes headline news so what would actually be the point of eavesdropping?

In times gone by we would have had public information films about this sort of thing.

The bin men are currently paid more and the council are trying to equalise the pay by holding back their increases rather than raising that of carers and cleaners.

I remember Aquarius as an early Sunday evening thing in that dead zone before Songs of Praise. Notable only for its theme tune.

I had a holiday to the Galápagos Islands about 20 years ago and everywhere I heard echoes of David Attenborough in my head talking about tortoises, iguanas and booby birds. I still can’t believe how lucky I am to have been.

Is that a large amount in this context? It looks to me like he got away lightly.

Reform are already well to the left of Labour to those who want to believe it. They claim to represent the working man.

Judge Dredd often had people trying to fling themselves off hyperscrapers because they couldn’t handle the future in a *gestures vaguely* world. An illegal act of course.

Could it be, and hear me out, that your phone thinks you need a PR guru and it’s not about an AI gimmick at all?
