the three month leadership elections is the only snag, too early and you also get pilloried by the press because of poo poo policies/recession, too late and no incumbency bias

What a wanker. I hope someone gets the freedom to frack Rees Moggs manor as well, seeing as how he would be honoured to have it happen. This government is some of the dumbest cunts I've ever seen. RCN ballot to take industrial action opens on Thursday, let's hope that makes life more difficult

I honestly wonder if a large part of the media class has now been radicalised due to the mortgage and pension impact. Not the owners of course, just the general journalist core.

Could be a spicy Idiot Lunatic vs Boring Evil civil war brewing  My money's on Boring Evil eventually prevailing. Idiot Lunatics currently control the levers of power but they are outnumbered in the party and, well, they are Idiot Lunatics. Even if someone like Sunak is eventually installed, however, I really think the damage has been done. Let's hope so. Chinese Gordon fucked around with this message at 14:46 on Oct 4, 2022 |

I wasn’t living in the U.K. back then, but is this what it felt like during Major’s premiership after Black Wednesday - abundantly clear that the Tories were a shambles and would not win the next election, yet the country was still stuck with them as a zombie government for multiple years? (Edit: and all we had to look forward to was a New Labour government that wouldn’t challenge Tory orthodoxy?) Halisnacks fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Oct 4, 2022 |

I was pretty young at the time but I have vague memories of the Tories all turning on each other, back benchers openly insulting Major during PMQ's, everyone just sort of watching the clock for the next election.

It made a big comeback a few years ago. The big safrole bust in Cambodia in 2009 tanked quality for years but then chemists in China developed a totally-not-a-precursor that could be one-potted as if it was safrole, so there was a comeback in the late 10s.

There was a bit of a drought recently (thanks Brexit - Thexit) but there's still plentiful high quality MDMA floating about and supply has gotten a lot better EDIT raves, though, I don't think they're coming back, sadly not the good ones anyway (I might be wrong, not like I'd get invited)

forkboy84 posted:https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/oct/03/id-like-inheritance-tax-to-be-abolished-says-uk-treasury-minister What a poo poo article. Like, normally you'd expect, accompanying a quote of "We should abolish inheritance tax", at least a short summary of what the current inheritance tax rules are, but there isn't one at all: Basically, the threshold for inheritance tax is £325k - below that there is no tax paid. UNLESS you own a home which you are passing on to your children or grandchildren (which I would expect would include approximately 100% of people with an estate of £325k or more) and then the threshold is £500k. Above that, it's taxed at 40%. So the majority of people aren't gonna see any tax on their estates anyway. I actually just received a small inheritance recently (not a life-changing sum but a nice chunk) unexpectedly when my gran passed, and I had to check what the inheritance tax rate was in Canada, so I googled it, and Google gave me one of those top paragraph answers inserted before the search results that just said "No... ". There's no inheritance tax in Canada at all, which is kind of nuts 'cause even the US has inheritance tax. I dunno exactly where I stand on inheritance tax. I think you should be allowed to get some inheritance. Somewhere between like £10k and the value of a modest home... but above that rates should be like 90+% and increase sharply to 99 or 100%. But then in my ideal society there wouldn't be private property so massive inheritances wouldn't be an issue.

Inheritance tax should always be at 100% and everyone's basics needs met, if we're allowed to just make poo poo up. Really, inheritance tax is one of those issues where you can tell if someone cares about meritocracy or property rights.

I think it'd be better for everyone to get a small lump sum nearer the start of their life rather than house sized amounts in their 60s. Heirlooms and actual things of personal value are different, but you'd need a way to stop that turning into giant art collections for the rich.
