Or in the FT. Because it's a deeply stupid point.

UK nominal GDP has overtaken India, probably temporarily, and driven entirely by exchange rate fluctuations (mostly the fall of the rupee, which has indeed been "sensational").

We have not grown faster than India - quite the opposite.

Another sunny day.
Nothing drawn from the grid, and battery full by 15:00.

Cops are such fucking cowards. Anything more than beating up innocent protestors from behind a wall of military hardware and they shit their pants & freeze.

I’m glad that the Mad King isn’t going to commit war crimes right now, while once again it is obvious this bumbling fool has no idea what he’s doing.
