RT by @BruceDGilley: As the House of Commons "decolonises" its library, a reminder that the Lords is under "Inclusiveness" training: "The Lords has produced an Inclusive Language Guide." This is the state of Parliament, which is supposed to be sovereign. D

RT by @BruceDGilley: I just don’t get what the Conservatives think is going to happen with housing. One million visas were issued over the last year. Where do we all live? They seem to be running the economic equivalent of Fyre Festival. It’s delusional.

Superb tribute to the British empire, the monarchy, and liberal imperialists from someone who should know. Will Woke white historians dare to let their students read this?

RT by @BruceDGilley: In my Lived Experience (haha, see what I did there) my experience of life is that most people treat others equally and fairly.

We do not need the govt to train "leaders" on the meaning of equality, impose equality duties on everyone

We do not need the govt to train "leaders" on the meaning of equality, impose equality duties on everyone by force, then monitor everyone for compliance

Belgium has nothing to apologize for in Congo. Its colonial rule 1908-60 was the best era for the benighted region.Killing the despotic Lumumba was the correct policy.Leopold's Free State was a mess, but its macro-effects minimal.Other factors dominated.

So much of the progressive Left's understanding of economics is about grade 2 level. Handouts make you poorer, not richer. Land or minerals have no inherent value separate from the real and intangible assets that give them value. Price caps reduce supply.
