Are you still peddling gold-standard days hogwash? Yes, I think you are ...

Lol, that's a good one. You can hardly get a rizla between Labour and the current lot. "Balance the books" this... "Fiscal responsibility" that ... Starmer is there to make sure that when the public finally get fed up with the current lot, nothing material changes at all. There's every chance...

Yep, plus the provision that Ofcom can order services to use "accredited technology" to scan content could spell the death knell of online privacy via end-to-end-encryption. Plus, Part 10 of the proposed Bill says this about 'Harmful and False communications offences': (6) The following cannot...

Which respected body of scientists is that? The ones that support the official narrative or the ones that don't? "Alexa, tell me what I should be believing today." Lol. Next they'll be ending child poverty in the UK, right?

Lol. Peak.

From the factsheet: Platforms will also need to address in their terms of service how they will treat named categories of content which are harmful to adults, likely to include disinformation. Who decides what 'disinformation' is?

Nah, we should start by educating people on the capacity of a currency issuing government.

That's a great refutation. I'm convinced! Well, almost convinced. To help others, explain what you think I have wrong. Be as specific as you can.

That's interesting. Do you have a breakdown on where the money is being spent e.g. How much will be spent on PFI debt? How much on core NHS services? How much will go to private sector providers? Etc.

It's way past time that people stopped promoting the toxic myth that 'taxpayers fund govt'. Of course they don't. I mean, Beardsley Ruml published his 'Taxes for Revenue are Obsolete' paper in 1945.

It is a closed loop in terms of government spending. Every £ govt injects into the economy, except those that are saved (by you and I and everyone else) will return to the Exchequer via taxation. Govt spending creates £s, taxation deletes £s. Sterling (£s) never leaves the Sterling Area. I...

I take your points about budgets and compromises. I agree we can't have everything, we can only have what we can create with the resources we have or the resources we can create or acquire. I can understand why you disagree. However, your disagreement is based on a false premise. That premise...

That's looking at things the wrong way round. Instead of starting with the question : "How many £s shall we create for the NHS?", we should be asking "What do we want the NHS to do?". Once we have decided that, we can move on to figuring out what resources we'll need to achieve the aims we...

Alan Milburn is doing alright too. Blair appointed him Health Secretary to push through the PFI. Later he moved to Bridgepoint. Then Bridgepoint bought Care UK. You couldn't make it up.

Yeah, fiat money is not commodity-based so it's not convertible to anything (gold, silver etc.) Obviously the £ is a fiat currency which is controlled by the UK government. People are free to use whatever means of exchange they like but, ultimately, if you live in the UK you will have to use...

This you.

Ok, which part of your question does the following NOT answer? Where did I say that? What I said, if you care to read it properly, is: The level of provision of public services e.g. NHS, social care, education, infrastructure etc. is a matter of political ideology.

That's right, you have no idea at all. Doesn't stop you sticking your oar in with some bs opinion though.

Lol. Here's one. Here's another. Don't understand them? No probs, I suppose gulping and nodding along takes less effort. Gotta love that cognitive dissonance, eh? Hit ignore.
