The top rate of income tax was 83%. But then there was an investment income surcharge which was obviously not a tax because it’s called a surcharge, so if you had high income and investment income your tax rate was 98%. That was before VAT was introduced. In Sweden, the tax rate was 102%, so I guess the limeys were lucky.
Now you’ve got 20% VAT on what you spend, and whatever Reeves is proposing to screw out of you for income tax, plus taxing unrealised gains on your house; and next on everything else. Perpetual stamp duties. Capital controls will be next to stop you leaving the country (last seen in the sixties).
If only the country could go to the dogs. They live better than this.

The good thing so far is we might see stagflation, it’s not because of dollar crashing or hyperinflation that gold is going up so there will be some safety when gold or silver is much higher and can be cashed into dollars without losing value over night anyways.
Ferrett seems more logical to return their rejects back to there country. Using them as a excuse to take your rights away They don’t belong there and don’t deserve to be there. No matter if they don’t believe in God or not if all they know, evil is still evil.

Gold miners made this move a few weeks ago, and now junior silver miners are beginning to break out relative to the price of silver.
Although the metals themselves are still undervalued compared to the money supply and other financial assets, it’s important to note that in-ground mineral reserves remain historically underpriced — and they’re only now starting to attract attention.
Exciting times for those holding high-quality silver assets, in my view.
Gold finally expressing its financial importance, the anchor, the centre around which everything else orbits.
{edit} I mean, it’s what we’ve been waiting for for decades. Gold to be recognised once more as the foundation of economic activity. The standard against which every other currency and commodity is measured. Rather than the USD being strong against a basket of currencies, or the pound weak compared to the dollar, or a stalk of celery, gold is coming back into its own.
I was in the auto spares shop, and there was a locked cabinet with knives in it (Off road camping type knives. Vicious, capable, business looking knives. When-you’ve-run-over-a-cow-and-you-need-to-cut-it-up-so-you-don’t-waste-the-meat type knives). “So,” I says to the guy behind the counter, “my sixteen y/o son couldn’t buy one of those?”.
“Certainly not.” he replies.
“Could he buy a Stanley knife to cut out fabric to make a new door card for his restoration project?”
“Probably not”.
“What about a paint scraper, that uses Stanley knife blades for scraping?”
“Ooooh yes” says he, cottoning on. “It’s not a knife, is it?”
“Set of screwdrivers?”
“What, nice new sharp ones that haven’t yet been used as chisels, levers, scrapers? No problem.”
“Chisels?”
“Not really in the spirit of things. Bit of a grey area. Sort of designed for stabbing, aren’t they?”
You can’t buy knives in Oz without proof of age (proof of age today, proof of identity tomorrow). A mate and I arrived too late for staff at a motel, couldn’t find table knives, so bought some at the supermarket with the food. Alarms go off when I scan them, four table knives of the type that struggle with prime fillet steak, and the girl comes over. I explain that we need the knives to go on a stabbing rampage through Jindabyne later that evening; she looks at our lined, bearded faces (my mate looked very much like Santa), laughed and said that as we looked over 18, that was fine.
Cheers for an 18y/o with a sense of humour!!
(probably laughing at the concept of us on a rampage).

A territory or country can vote to join another country, but the process is extremely complex and requires the approval of both parties. This voluntary union is called a consensual merger, and it differs from annexation, which internationally refers to the forcible seizure of territory and is illegal under modern international law.
If there is a certain amount that will include all the corrupt lawfares profiting off destroying that country a portion of the land can be kept in the countryside where the elitist have homes and move the people and the migrants to go with them. I have a feeling they will have a sudden change of mind. Id say heart but I don’t think they have one.
sell off today stinks end of month/quarter window dressing ….someone is always trying to make Oil look bad and the Oil stox…I was wondering if Green funds are short the Oil stox …in the sense the business is over/dead, according to their idiot minds…..
Though it could also be today,people gettig excited by peace in Gaza……which will last as long as it takes for a few worthwhile things to turn up, that the Pally’s can steal.

Seems like it with oil but might need something more to trigger it which could be sudden like a hurricane. It’s good they haven’t had any this year and gone stupid woke haven’t helped all the people. They need to be investigated and tracked. They need a hurricane advocate number for people to call if they are not getting paid with the power to demand it and also investigate who it was that was not helping them.
The sellers in PMs taking profits off the table is still selling in strength, might slow gold down but not stop it as long as demand from big money and smart money move to safety is going on and certain countries don’t suddenly stop making war on their own citizens which seems to be the opposite and doubling down. It would not be organic. This isn’t just seasonal.
Citizens should be doubling down on pushing back. Maybe Trump could buy England and Canada. That would give them their civil rights back for free speech, due process, end non elected appointees, the right to bear arms, immediate cease of money to and deportation and arrest of criminal illegal migrants and borders closed and a lot of firing going on.
It’s probably just the fingerprints of Gold Scum Suxs and all those minions in that huge ass skyscraper in lower downtown Manhattan gaming people at the moment. WPM PUMPING tho. It’s an ATM shooting out hard cold cash. Ferret, I go after Kitco every day on Twitter, endlessly kicking them. I love it! I’m sure they want to block me, so badly, but my pal Elon won’t let it happen!

Canada is forcing all Canadians to hand in their guns. They have one year to get compensation by handing in their guns.
Starting in October 2026 it will become criminal to own a gun.
