    Do you drive on roads? Or have bins? Or ever use hospitals? Or have kids in school?
    How do you think all that is paid for?
    (Although yes, they do waste money on stupid stuff too)

    Mhmm mhmm

    Jeremy Clarkson has already paid more tax then most ever will but please tell me who is and isn't paying their fair share.

    10% flat tax for everyone on everything and I'll consider allowing IHT.

    What we need is a Department of Government Efficiency.

    And stop nonsense like £11bn foreign climate change shit, or £3bn in perpetuity to Ukraine. How much are fake asylum hotels costing us PER DAY?

    You don't think people who earn more should pay more? I have no issue with higher rates of tax on salary over a certain amount.

    There is something in this, to be fair.
    There's an awful lot of waste in the Public Sector. I speak as someone who works in it.

    I'm going to blow your mind.

    Are you ready for this?

    If something isn't clear please let me know and I'll explain further, I have a graduate degree in theoretical physics so this may be a bit complicated for you.

    10% of 100,000 is 10,000
    10% of 50,000 is 5,000

    Now pay attention, the next bit is important.

    10,000 > 5,000.

    Wait...wait.....holy shit, you're right!

    I don't have that big an issue with the higher rate of tax, obviously it needs to be balanced so they don't take the piss.

    Which is compromised by your underlying worldview. Not uniquely so of course, it applies to all of us. But your worldview is a bit "out there" and it constantly leads you to wrong conclusions.


    No I don't. I mean yes, that's a source but it's obviously not the only one. It's one you may believe is unreliable and not to be trusted but again that belief is influenced by your worldview. Hence you seeing two articles at the start of the pandemic - they were about various events being postponed - which you declared "fake news". Both were entirely accurate.


    I'm not sure what that means. Science is simply a quest to understand things.


    What nonsense. Science constantly questions and reevaluates itself. Newton was "right" until Einstein showed he wasn't, and so on.
    If science thought it knew everything then it would stop
    Of course any science can and should be questioned but it would help if the questioner knew what they were talking about and didn't just question it because "authority bad".
    It's that sort of thinking which leads to modern flat earthers. "They" say the earth is a globe and "they" are not to be trusted, therefore...


    I'm not entirely sure what any of that means. The main difference between us is our underlying worldviews.
    You are clearly better read than me and more knowledgeable on certain subjects. But your ability to draw conclusions from what you read is undermined by that worldview.
    You think "authority bad" - to the point where you believe the only alternative worldview must be "authority good".
    Actually I'd say "authority not that good, but necessary" is closer to what I think.
    But where do our worldviews lead us?
    A pandemic happens, the army are going door to door in Birmingham delivering tests.
    I think "the army are going door to door in Birmingham delivering tests.", you think "this is to get us used to the presence of the army on our streets!"
    There are other examples which I've been over a million times so I won't go on.

    But my worldview led me to believe that the pandemic restrictions were an attempt to deal with "a situation". They were misguided because we have pretty incompetent people in charge, but they were clearly a response to the situation - they kept changing as the situation changed, that was a clue. Your worldview led you to it all being about control and ever increasing restrictions curfews and checkpoints.

    Who was right and who was wrong? This is why no-one can take you seriously when you put yourself on this pedestal of being the one who knows what's going on.
    Authority is bad, dude. Think about it. Authority is for children who don't know better and have to learn. And even then, it wouldn't be necessary if we lived in a non-fucked existence of our own creation. The "lessons" we teach our kids are designed to help them cope in a cesspit, not in the natural world God made. Our contempt for our fellow man, superseded by our lust for the inventions of man (money) makes us masters of everything that's wrong, it helps us conquer the symptoms but never finds a cure. You should know that as a Christian, but plainly you don't. Why is that?

    You say I question authority because I have a fucked up worldview. Okay then, I'll show you mine if you show me yours. State and compare. Our two worldviews. Go.

    So if my maths is right she owns land worth £3.5m. Where's that tiny violin?
    Obviously she could sign it over now and then all she has to do is live 7 years. If she's going to give them it anyway
