Tax Them Out of House and Home ...

... one generation at a time.

Another story of taxation run wild.

Is this "peak taxation"? 

Not a chance, except for an intervening general economic collapse, or maybe a general taxation strike - pretty difficult when your employer pays your tax to HMRC before he pays you ...

An interesting question though - if your employer owes you money under your contract of employment, are they entitled to give some of it to someone else just because the someone else says so? Custom and practice is not necessarily law, and we are discovering new things every day now. 

Although it's an interesting question, maybe the first port of call would be to check the fine print in your offer/contract of employment ....   and after that, a session with ChatGpt or maybe Grok.

Dominic Frisby laments.

 

 

Climate Scam Continues to Fall Apart

Junk science climate scare paper (published April 2024) retracted by Nature.

How did it pass peer review? What took them so long?

"Kotz was patent nonsense ... Yet Kotz was avidly picked up by government agencies around the world seemingly desperate to use any old gobbledegook to push the Net Zero fantasy"

"In a report to the British Parliament, the Climate Change Committee referenced Kotz in a section discussing economic damage arising from climate risk. Meanwhile, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) appears to have been a keen fan of Kotz and all its downstream impact works such as NGFS Phase V."

Chris Morrison reports for the Daily Sceptic.

Are we getting the picture yet?

If they would lie about climate change, what would they not lie about?

Two reports for the price of one - Sebastian is nothing if not concise and to the point.

Tax Them Out of Business

This is an attack on the small businesses upon which rural and not so rural communities depend.

Like the lockdowns in days of Covid, small businesses will be forced into closure whilst big businesses buy up their assets for pennies on the pound - prove me wrong? Even if they don't, they will flood the now less crowded marketplace with mass-produced products that will be the only affordable products available.

So the monopolies move in and the creative potential of the small business will be replaced by the bland sameness of the big chains, and whilst the local people won't be able to push up prices to cover taxes and costs, the big corporates will make a killing. 

Just as the supermarkets have over the years pushed out the retail grocers, bakers, hardware stores, and made inroads on the clothing front, so too now the market for small pubs restaurants and more importantly, farmers will be  passed from control by the many to control by the very few, all courtesy of "our" elected government that no longer works for the people - if it ever did.

" ... the Fox Inn in Patching, West Sussex ... shut the doors in October after costs tripled since 2021 and a letter arrived warning that his business rates would double next year"

It seems a familiar story.

It's much the same in the US apparently (this is not financial advice!) ... although there's a caveat:

"The theory that it’s driven by health preferences is certainly possible, but until we can see consumer behaviour in a more benign price environment, it’s too soon to fully adopt that thesis"

Hmmm. 

 

Food for Thought - Something to Chew Over

This is a very pertinent video that everyone can learn from.

Speaking personally, from my own experience, I can't recommend this enough.

Yes it's true, I bake my own bread from organic stone-ground "ancient grains" (mostly wholegrain rye and spelt, these being commonly available in the UK).

If you're looking for bread like the supermarkets sell, you're looking in the wrong place, but they do sell the flours. And yes, they are more expensive, but I wouldn't willingly go back to bread made from modern wheat (a yeasted spelt loaf is an acceptable and quick substitute, and makes cracking toast!).

It takes a little practice, but once you get into the rhythm of sourdough, it's easier than timing the rising falling and kneading. Yes it's slower (measured in days) but takes up less of my time (I don't need to knead and it can be left to rise overnight!). So it's mix, overnight rise, bake, top up more sourdough starter and pop into the fridge ready for next time ...

Anyway, enough of my views, on with the video!
