No MI5, MI6 or GCHQ internship if you're white.
"We’re confining the applications for this internship to those within this demographic [Black, Asian, mixed heritage or ethnic minority background] due to a current underrepresentation in our workforce."

I love how twitter works.
Them: Farage is racist
Me: Can you give me an example?
Them: He wants to restrict immigration
Me: Yep; and he’s applying that to everyone, treating everyone the same. It’s the opposite of racism.
Them: Blocked

To take home £120k you need to earn (pre tax):
Dubai £120,000
Hong Kong £140,000
China £160,000
U.S & Germany £165,000
Canada & France £172,000
U.K. £205,000
Now twitterarti: be dispassionate.
If you were earning £120,000 where would you choose to base yourselves?

I've sold a property that made a 10% return. I pay 40% tax, so the state made a 4% return on an asset it paid nothing to purchase.
Then they told me they wanted yet more. So I sold the asset. Now it gets nothing.
Labour aren't economically literate.
[Before the twitterarti pile in: yes. I make money from rent. Sometimes renting is the best option. Imagine you want to open a sandwich shop. There are two identical premises available. One for sale for £3million. One for rent for £2000 a month.
Which one do you choose? You'd rent, obviouisly.

Incredible how few people understand wealth. Almost as if they imagine "rich people" have pots of cash.
They have assets. If you tax an asset then the asset has to be sold.
Imagine I taxed you 20% of the value of your house. Do you have it in cash? No, so you have to sell it.
Then you buy a smaller house. Next year, I tax you 20% of that. You don't have it in cash, so again you sell it and move to a smaller one.
This happens year after year until you can no longer afford a house.
The state then has to pay to house you.
Anyone who calls for a wealth tax is frankly economically illiterate.

Kinnock: Labour Should Introduce Annual Wealth Tax on Assets Over £10 Million
This is the stupidity of the left. If you have assets over £10m you don't have it in cash. You have it in shares in the company you probably founded. To pay the tax you'd have to sell those shares.
The policy is therefore saying if you DARE to establish a successful company, take a risk and employ people then the Government will force you to sell it.

That’s £438.50 for each taxpayer- for one month. £5,260 per taxpayer per year

Sensible people would say that if the judge called the defendant guilty before the trail started, the legal council had long been openly critical of the defendant and the person in charge of the court worked for someone hostile to the defendant- then most would call for a retrial.
This is twitter though. So when I point out the report that forced Boris to go was an investigation lead by Labour’s chief of staff, the legal council was pro EU and anti Boris, and the person Charing the court was a Labour MP who said he was guilty before the investigation started, the twitterarti will concoct obviously flawed arguments as to why this was perfectly fair.
