And they're right to.

Sadly Britain suffers from a Fabianesque focus on direct transfers of wealth as the only possible form of welfare. But in terms of social transfer, capitalism with Chinese characteristics is preferable to social democracy.
This is probably the unstated admission at the heart of Anglofuturism. It's Sinofuturism with Anglo characteristics.

This is an absolutely APPALLING column by Dale.

Quite possibly one of the worst things I’ve ever read.
At least he has identified a quote he disagrees with. But he doesn’t identify WHY/IF this is wrong. Just that it ‘was deliberately designed to back up the outrageous comments of Musk.’

But nothing about this is incorrect. Just that it might agree with someone Dale doesn’t like. Image
The mass, systematised, targeted rape of vulnerable women along ethnic lines is NOT proof that integration has failed in Britain; it is no more than a ‘challenge’.

A staggering statement. If Britain is an integration success story, what does a failure look like? Image

I am currently at Manchester Art Gallery and, given this is part of the opening information board, I expect much of the nonsense we’ve all come to expect and enjoy from art galleries. Follow for more updates;
Think this painting of an isolated Manchester corner shop is about the huge rate of redevelopment and change Manchester has undergone? Wrong! It’s about Syrian immigration, actually.
The Grand Tour was about Empire, as tourists exploited the massive amount of continental Europe Britain controlled by buying and commissioning art on the open market.

For 300 years our media was focussed on more important issues than seatbelts.
In a world where inflation tops 10%, where there are huge structural problems in the economy, where we’re reaching what feels like a sea change in our culture, where there is a lack of coherent political direction and we’re facing new threats abroad, you think this is remarkable?
I’m being a bit shitty but I think this raises an important point. Media is dominated by political coverage, and that coverage is dominated by political correspondents, who have an all-encompassing interest in Westminster games and Westminster games alone.

Burnham is leaning into the notion that elected officials aren’t deserving of the pay they receive. That’s maybe good for his electability, but bad for attracting top talent into public life.
He earns £110,000 to manage a conurbation of just less than 3.5 million people. Never mind giving it away, it’s not enough in the first place.
Starling, the bank, has a customer base of 2.7 million. The CEO’s pay? £600k.
