Why are lefties so keen on letting them in? Ok, so all the lovies have cheap cleaners and nannies. There is that as well.

Re: What is Starmerism?
Why not move to Manx? 200K per year and Bob's your uncle.You know what is the worst thing about a wealth tax? Suppose the tax is 1% of net worth above X million. If you don't leave the country then you are admitting you are worth less than X million. That is cruel. But conversely...

Re: What is Starmerism?
It is rumoured that we have a well, but that it is covered up. We had a man come around with a big radar, sonar, thing, but he couldn't find it. Nor could he find the tunnel that legend has it connects us to the church. Plenty of skeletons, but all in the closet.You forgot water taxes.List of taxes which SKS has not ruled out increasing:

The tunnel is for the servants.
BTW AFAIR water under the ground in UK is the property of the King which means it will be taxed. It is not free. Nog many people know that.

Re: What is Starmerism?
He is justifying accepting the Arsenal hospitality tickets because of the cost of security to the taxpayer if he were to be in with the plebs. Call me old fashioned, but there's a simple solution, don't go. If old-age pensioners have to go without heating then he can go without visiting a football match.
On the other hand, the thought of 60,000 football fans booing our Glorious Leader does give me a nice tingling feeling (never you mind where!).

Hilarious...
"Prime Minister to Buy His Own Clothes"!
What next?
"Chancellor to Pay for Own Heating." Maybe.
"Foreign Secretary To Tie Own Shoelaces"? No, will never happen!

Re: What is Starmerism?
There was time when interest rates were 15% and penalty for too late tax payments 4%. So let's 1 million big ones to pay to Inland Revenue. Wait for the las warning until you pay up. OK, 11 % profit (15 - 4).There are private businesses and private businesses. But in a similar vein, I'd like to see permanently high interest rates!
And when UK was kicked out of EMU ==> interest rate == 30% for 3 months. Clear.

My first mortgage was at 16%…young people today don’t know they’re born!

Re: What is Starmerism?
My first conference was "First Mathematical Conference on Derivatives" in NYC around 2000. Finance apart, it was clear because the maths was what I did as junior soph.. I remember lively discussions .. it was hilarious. Speakers stopped answering my questions. Maybe a Moliere moment?Why have we never spoken at the same conference as each other?

Good Heavens! For more than forty years I have been speaking prose without knowing it.
And 5-day seminar in Geneva (at great personal expense..); high point was solving BS PDE on 5X5 grid using Crank Nicolson.
And the night life was awful. Don't know how tags stands it.
I did attend Paul's brilliant talk in A'dam 2006? He got the audience riled up. Even John Hull. Wonderful.
Finally, 2015 Lisbon ,,, 1 minute before I was to start.. famous Russian SDE prof in front row asks what you think of Putin I retorted propaganda btw my talk included some Soviet Splitting after that he called me Товарищ.
And he fixed Bruno Dupire's laptop just before he was due to start.
