you’ll put those savings into a stocks and shares ISA where any gains from stocks are tax free guaranteed.
If you have more than £20k a year to put away into stocks and shares then yeah you need to pay some tax bruv.
- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #7 - Battlezone 98 Redux 2 months ago:
In the first mission of Battlezone, it’s possible to travel out of the map and find a 1960s lunar lander that you can enter and pilot. It’s equipped with a one of a kind super weapon that plays trance music as you fire it.
Unfortunately it’s only available in the first mission and you can’t take it with you to subsequent missions.
- Comment on Thames Water says it needs 59% bill rise to survive 3 months ago:
I agree.
But the realist in me knows it won’t be allowed to happen.
I know that the government will have to service a £15bn debt through borrowing, which will raise interest rates, mortgages, rents and require cuts to public services to pay for. That is on top of the investment needed over the next few years to stop sewage leaking into rivers and leaks of millions of litres a day.
In addition I know that pension funds and large investors will lose substantial sums of money and will look to divest from similar risks, which could lead to more utility companies becoming insolvent. A snowball effect.
Finally, I know that international investment in the UK will be seen as more risky.
What the government will be doing now is weighing up those risks against the cost of raising bills by the 59% that the water companies and industry bodies are asking for. If the worst should happen, will taxpayers be better off with a couple of hundred extra £ on their water bills to pay, or potentially a lot worse off with a rapid nationalisation of multiple firms.

$100k
that’s ten times what it costs to install domestic solar, battery storage across all of Europe including major cities. Why is it so expensive? Panels are ~$200 each online and an inverter is $5k for a really good one.

- Comment on Water firms ask for bill rises of between 24% and 91% 6 months ago:
I’d be happy if that happened.
- Comment on Water firms ask for bill rises of between 24% and 91% 6 months ago:
I’d like it to go that way too but realistically, no government in the world is going to go after a massive hedge fund or investment bank for failing to stop a company asset stripping a public utility for profit.
- Comment on Water firms ask for bill rises of between 24% and 91% 6 months ago:
yes that would be awesome, but the problem is that “make it publicly owned” means “buy out their shares” which is giving them a bailout, plus “service all the debt the company is in” which is another bailout, before you’ve even got started with fixing the horrible lack of investment over many years
- Comment on Water firms ask for bill rises of between 24% and 91% 6 months ago:
so the shareholders pull their funds, the water companies struggle and the taxpayer has to step in to bail them out.
- Comment on Water firms ask for bill rises of between 24% and 91% 6 months ago:
problem is then that shareholders will pull their money and invest elsewhere leaving the taxpayer to pick up the pieces. clever privatisations always leave the public purse to bail out any losses 😒
the solution: don’t privatise in the first place. it’s like selling all your shit at a pawn shop
- Comment on Water firms ask for bill rises of between 24% and 91% 6 months ago:
would love to but where does the money come from to buy out all the shareholders? you would need to raise tens of billions - remember we just spent £10bn to give people a 1% tax cut
and before you say “fuck the shareholders,” remember that lots of them are your pension fund

councils have been bankrupted by successive cuts over the last decade such that its a miracle some can still collect bins.
current government have no interest in causing trouble for their school friends, biggest party donors and future employment prospects.
