It doesn't show that at all. It just shows that the government, if they are to be believed, have now raked in a surplus into their coffers at the expense of other participants in the economy. It doesn't tell you a single thing about skills or suggest that there is economic growth, which in...

What use is a budget surplus that has come at the cost of taking more money from ordinary workers, who have already seen their standard of living stall over the past 20 years, and also crashing economic growth?

I mean, we are talking about Labour voters. That 20% of the population who thought this government was the answer...

What do you mean, "inflation down"? The rate of increase is - if we take the published rate at face value - lower than it was a few weeks ago. But prices are still rising too fast, on top of all the previous price rises that have already occurred. Prices are not falling, they are just...

The quality of debate on this forum is absolutely shocking. Probably the worst I've ever seen. Look no further than this ^^ tradesman attempting to read and write, and think about bigger issues. Incapable of understanding simple thoughts and words. Practically every thread being spammed by...

They were employed. They were productive. Production is what creates wealth. I haven't expressed any view as to the relative merits of how people might be employed. Just offering an alternative perspective to your over privileged, whiny virtue signalling.

Maybe, but another angle is that, in net terms, the world developed more as a whole thanks to the exploitation of the natural resources and the resultant, broader economic and technological development. It has all contributed to the world we all now live in and benefit from. This obvious...

Does the fact that you haven't provided a contrary opinion, supported by evidence, mean you actually agree with what Webb has said? We know, for example, based on various studies, that the average IQ of Somalians is found to be between 64 and 84. This is neither good nor bad, but it is...

The problem with people like you is that is all a narcissistic enterprise. It's me me me, and we we we. What you think, 200 odd years later, is neither here nor there. All the people from that time are dead and long since decomposed. They don't care what some fat pot head in the year 2026 says...

No offence, but if it is acceptable for you to rubbish the work of a published historian because you don't like his opinions, why should anybody take what you have to say at face value, when you haven't even bothered to provide a source? Some questions that spring immediately to mind: How...

Read the words. We don't need special needs, privileged groups all clammering for unfair attention and treatment over others. It is divisive and destructive, and breeds resentment. It is a wimp's charter and seems to make the population ever more pathetic as we have this incentivised race into...

Only if you have a personality disorder, whilst larping as a Palestinian.

Reminds me of the time a muslim asylum seeker took a bomb to a maternity unit in Liverpool a few years ago. Thankfully, the actions of the taxi driver prevented women, babies and others being murdered here in our own country. The taxi driver escaped as well, with the lunatic blowing himself up...

A bunch of millionaire footballers engaging in a strange, knee-bending ritual because they were instructed to do so, in front of crowds who found it all a bit odd and started booing them... what more evidence do you need? I suppose you believed that banging your pots and pans at the front door...

"Enjoyed it"? You're even worse than I thought.

Your analogy doesn't work since it is inconceivable that we would ever compensate a paedo, for example. Slavery wasn't considered abuse by most people in the world, especially amongst Africans and Arabs. A handful of English moral crusaders were against it and fought to end it. 90% of the...

It isn't a tragedy. I don't need consoling. I'd prefer it if you kept your hands to yourself, you creepy pervert.

It was about manipulating people and a pack of lies. Only lunatics like you fell for it... and still haven't resurfaced from the depths of delusion.

I don't care.

Speak for yourself, I've never owned slaves. The main problem with slavery is that the slave is not free. If people have paid a lot of money for a slave to have freedom, when they didn't even need to and didn't profit at all, except in the moral sense, then I'd say that is something for the...
