    Inheritance.

    I think the rules are pretty complicated. That 7 year rule is actually for inheritance tax, not care fees, I believe. Some basic info here from Which might be a useful starting point...

    Can Kamala Harris win?

    Trump seems to have had his biggest meltdown yet at his rally last night. Apparently, the topic he spent most time on was whether he or Kamala is more attractive. And he said some pretty nasty things about her looks.

    Can Kamala Harris win?

    There weren't any small boats before Brexit. People who voted to leave are a lot angrier than before Brexit. Are these facts related?

    I've found some more details: This was the BMW attack I believe.

    They’re dealing out swift justice to the rioters

    I got involved in a very heated discussion yesterday with somebody who is utterly convinced that these rioters are being treated differently. The level of anger he was displaying was off the charts. At one point he was jabbing his finger in my face. I kept telling him that the only real...

    That sounds rather dark.

    Can Kamala Harris win?

    He has good people around him. Trump would have lunatics and racists.

    Amusing repair to a bath seen on holiday

    Wasn't avocado more of an 80's thing? 70's was bright pinks and blues. Round here, anyway!

    Can Kamala Harris win?

    What's wrong with that. It happens all the time. He should be flattered, not angry.

    Death penalty

    As I mentioned before, this has been a total disaster. But you have to consider why it happened. For eighteen years the Tories had let the public infrastructure decay. They had spent massive North Sea oil receipts and privatisation receipts to fund their obsession with tax cuts. Surely, it would...

    Death penalty

    We were doing pretty well until the GFC. It doesn't make sense to argue that the large budget deficit wasn't directly caused by the GFC.

    Can Kamala Harris win?

    As much as Trump disgusts me, I actually think he might have been making a slightly different point here. I think he might have been trying to say that the civilian medal was a better medal from the recipient's perspective, because they don't have to get shot to pieces in order to receive it.

    Can Kamala Harris win?

    Are you expecting him to ask to be re-instated as the candidate? That's what Trump is predicting. He gave a good speech yesterday in a joint appearance with Kamala Harris.

    Why I care so much about Israel.

    So below is a map of the West Bank. I've never really looked in detail before. The biggest part, the yellow part, seems to a military training area for Israel. I read previously that the Palestinians were given all the bad bits and Israel kept all the good bits. But I don't know what that...

    What have you been doing today?

    I might have contributed, in a very small way, to a road rage incident. I feel sorry for the guy who could be in trouble. The other guy was acting like a total bell end. But there's no excuse for violence. It was like trying to talk to two Ronnie Pickerings.

    Can Kamala Harris win?

    Definitely not until after after the Democrat convention, which starts Monday. She says by the end of the month. There's a danger for Trump in making such a big deal about this, because expectations will be so low. Kamala Harris has been many times better so far than anyone expected. With a...
