“And yes, before that he read PPE at Oxford. He’s clever and academic. That doesn’t stop him being wrong.”

I hate to disagree but that effing “degree” from the Marxists at Oxon is at the heart of what ails us in Britain. Jacks of three trades, masters of none. That is what they are. The university term is 8 weeks so that is 24 weeks over 3 years on each of philosophy, politics and economics. Knock off 4 weeks or more for exams and it’s actually 20 weeks or fewer on each subject. And this is a first “degree” so no research or knowledge generation. Charlatans all.

Remember this "Hello, I'm from the government, I'm here to help"

Here is an article of the black hole created by the last government from the fully funded Royal Mail Pension Fund. The government spent it.

Dear Patrick, I can see the Bell PR is the familiar 'oh this person is wonderful' Civil Service rollocks.

Then comes the bombshell.

Minister of Perpetual Energy and Chef D'Mission need cash.

So, Tinker Bell is going to fix that with theft of private pensions (again).

Perhaps toff Tinker Bell should stop assuming Little People are going to be fine with this.

Also - Net Zero (copyright Dame T May et al) - needs to stop right now.

Net Zero only works if Little People are ripped off.

A bad idea that does not work (who knew? Not the CCC!)

Oh for sure. The Westminster Marxists are desperate for money to fuel their idiotic vision

My worry is that these megafunds would be used (at least partly) to invest in Green/Net Zero vehicles rather than exclusively for the benefit of pension members.
