This has to be my graph of the week.

Foreground

After a hectic #FP4Party I'm returning to the #CovetMyPartnersPentax photo jolly from a few weeks ago.

Basically Reform are the UK’s MAGA. Nothing but lies, incompetence and grift…… and that’s not even mentioning all the racist, zenophobic, misogynistic, flagshagging shit.

This is the perfect advirtisment for simplifying the UK Tax system. Normal tax payers don't and can't do this sort of shit.

Room Without View

Probabaly my last for our #FP4Party.

I've really enjoyed seeing what other have put up this week and hope we can all do this again next year.

I'm a real fan of recording shop fronts like this. So many places go unrecorded.

Richard Tice signed accounts wrongly claiming £98k tax exemption Four companies in Richard Tice’s Quidnet group wrongly treated Quidnet REIT dividends as tax-exempt, underpaying about £98,000 in corporation tax.

Dan Neidle has written a forensic analysis on this very topic.

I take your point. We got what we voted for. But a lot of us did not vote for Brexit ( Just not enough) and hope that discussions taking place can help mitigate that bloody stupid result.

Maybe he needs to talk to his European counterparts on why they are taking some steps to dump US tech withing their critical IT infrastructure.

Surely there were so many people involved in the vetting process that it is inconceivable that they all kept quiet on hearing Starmer say Mandelson passed his vetting.

.....or has Ai been introduced to the code of Bluesky!

Europe has started to ecouple from US tech in a number of areas recently. Is this something the UK are tdoing or do we still have our head in the sand over this?

There is one sentence in any of this drivel that is factually true.

That's because the average DM reader is likely not to understand percentages and they need help with a false and untruthful graphic.

This 31bn tech deal is likely to b a crock of S***T anyway. With the US being so unrealiable, European countries are disconnecting themselves from US tech and investing in their own IT projects. We should be doing the same.

Hey Trumpy. So much winning.

But does Starmer have the balls to do this?

Yeh Yeh Yeh. What do you think China will say when US ships stop one of their tankers coming out of the Straights.

Well it would be nice to think so. I moved to Linux last year and apart from the occasional hiccup have found the move fairly painless. It's also made me much more aware of how intrusive, unsafe, unreliable and expensive US tech has become.

Palantir is just the tip of the Iceberg. We should not be allowing any US tech to have such a grip on our infrastructure. France, Germany and Italy are already reducing their exposure to US companies and their products and we should be doing the same.

Yup.
