The only way that would work is if said investors did not speak English, tho in that case, they can't understand the speech.
(Yeah I do know disaster capitalists will indeed get opportunities from the ashes while getting the laws curbed as they like to fit their needs)
Do I have the strenght?
I mean, translating is my jon, but it's late...
(High-skilled: "Well we kicked out most of our low-skilled key workers and the British ones are home with Covid, so technically, those left are high-skilled")
(Low-tax: "Have you heard about our tax havens?")
"We have just severed our domestic economic strength with diplomatic and security partnerships around the globe.
Which is good for the shadowy "network of (unhindered by human rights and planet protection profits') liberty" that got us in power (yeah it wasn't our skills)"
"Remember how we've just left the free exchange of goods, services, capital and ideas? Yeah that thing that made our nation great and at our best. Take back control, we called it."
"Oh and here's a reference to slavery. Right after 'We are at our best when we are open to new ideas and opportunities'. Classy."
"And now, a reference to the woman who gave us the Single Market that we just left in the name of openness and free trade. Imagine if her ghost could talk."
"OK in case it's not clear I'm representing the shadowy funders of the lobbyists that highjacked our govt here is a clear reference (don't read his books tho)"
"Who wants a slide of Great British exceptionalism?"
"This means deregulation -Everyone got that right?"
"Tax haven-funded deregulation, environmental disaster and extinction of human rights now is 'the jewel in our crown' -something about 'sceptred', seriously, it's cool"
"Don't ask me what happens to the people we don't consider the 'Best and the Brightest'."
"Remember how we lifted all taxes? Let's do that again! It's OK not like our NHS needs it or something -We're privatising it anyway, and soon they'll be so many hoops to jump through to get universal credits people will be dead long before they even get to see the last one"
"Oh you thought I was joking right? No, no, we'll create tax-free zones for you. Not just Singapore on Thames, Singapore on the whole island! They knew what they were voting for aso."
"What? Oh right, deregulated zones, of course -ha ha"
"Blah blah please don't mention how we screwed up copy/paste and Australia trade deal didn't happen also we're considering a trade deal with the Moon thanks to our flying taxis and our soon to be built spaceport. Delivering on people's priorities as always."
"I'd credit the IEA but they told me not too -'just stick to the delusion', they said, 'people's life is now so sh*tty they'll take any glimpse of hope they can get, no matter how irrealistic it is"
"We'll screw this country for you. Unshamedly. I mean look at how we handled Covid -the shambles, the corruption, talk to our cronies, look at their bank accounts. Making profits and delivering for shareholders is our only raison d'être."
"We have contacts to screw other countries too"
"Making profits and delivering for shareholders is how we'll make COP26 a success"
"Yeah I'm quoting the Atlas Network/It's +480 lobbyist groups website. No worries no one is aware of that. Nor of the shadowy funders behind it, coincidentally set to benefit from our 'unashamedly making profits and delivering for shareholders' ideology."
"We will champion openness, freedom and prosperity worldwide byt being hard-headed in defending our interests -please send us your money"
"A great country available for a great price."
"We'll protect your interests above all else. (Or you know, ruin you but no worry one of our cronies will make a benefit)."
"We'd give you facts and figures but those really don't look good so here is what we're going for. Thank you."
OK I need a drink.
Good night.

You don’t stand against evil because evil is directed at people you deem worth your support
You stand against evil because evil must be stopped, end of
Please stop saying Ukraine's skirt is too short and focus on stopping the agressor *that happens to be the issue here*
“But escalation”, you say?
(Sigh) #BreakingNews: Ukraine has no intention to invade Russia.
NATO has no intention to invade Russia.
The only thing “endangering Russia” is its shattered imperialist pride at being unable to crash a much smaller country.
Supporting that helps no one
Ukrainians ain’t stupid.
They have exactly 0 interest or will to attack Russian civilians.
They just want Russia out.
On the other hand, Putin blowing up more of his own (as he did to get an ironclad grip on power) to convince them to become canon fodder may be on the table.
Now not saying it’s going to happen but we do know Russia is fine with bombing Ukrainian churches, and the “war against Christianity” rhetoric has been planted already by Western assets like Kremlin Klaxon -er, I meant Tucker Carlson
As the Russian army has been severely hit lately -an info that the Kremlin couldn’t keep from the public-, such an operation to force holy mobilisation on uncooperative Russians while trying to propaganda the West into stopping (finally) useful weapons delivery would be Putinable
In any case it’s obvious this “truce” is nothing but a military operation, the only question being how the details of it.
If they wanted peace, they’d go home.
Imagine your reaction if, after your athlete wins the Olympics, the organising country tells you it cannot play your national anthem as it doesn't have it, and ask if the one from the neighbour country (that invaded and perpetrated genocide on you) is fine...
Watching this, I suddenly realised @komarnyckyj, do you know how I got Ukraine on the map?
Not in school, not in the news..
In Rythmic gymnastics
Катерина Серебрянська, Олена Вітриченко, all the ones who followed...
(And well that's how I got Belarus was a specific culture too)
I’m a mother of two (10 and 6), who experienced suicidal thoughts as a teenager (long story short, childhood abuse trauma -not that it’s a requirement)
Parents, have you ever discussed suicide with your kids?
Could be it’s not the worse thing, even when they are young (Cont)
I’m not advising to tell 6 year old about how some people take their own life
But telling them that sometimes they can feel like they are in a dead end, nothing is worth it, there’s too much pain -because they are tired, or really sad, and feel no one can understand them (Cont)
Telling them the people who love them want to be bothered if they feel that bad. That it’s ok, it will pass eventually, but it’s not how it feels on the moment -feelings can be really stupid
That they are never truly alone because you love them, always
It doesn’t hurt
