Michael @britmonkey.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Globalisation isn't declining, only moving east. Europe fell behind and the USA is no longer predictable. China, India, UAE, Saudi Arabia etc can give countries what they want (trade, oil, tech, labour, tourism) for cheaper and without the moralising on Human Rights. 241

Michael @britmonkey.bsky.social · 27/09/2025fwiw I think Labour will U-turn on ID cards like they have U-turned on literally everything else so far. That said, I'm interesting in seeing how far I can go while refusing to get a cringe little app that probably won't even work. What are they gonna do? Arrest me? Bring it on!!!! 0100
Reposted by MichaelJohn Springford @johnspringford.bsky.social · 25/09/2025I received an email from Octopus today saying they're hiking their time-of-use tariff rates, in part, because consumers were too good at shifting their use to cheap periods, so they were losing money. This tells you how powerful price signals are in driving efficient use of the power system. 810725
Michael @britmonkey.bsky.social · 26/08/2025🤓"heh...bet you didn't know Saint George was actually Turkish!" Saint George WAS English. He DID kill a dragon on St George's Day in 1066, then he wrote the Magna Carta with his blood, sending every European to Brexit jail. 👍🏴🇬🇧🌹 Don't like it I'll help you pack. 0130
Michael @britmonkey.bsky.social · 24/08/2025I can tell if you *actually* hate AI or if you just performatively hate it because it's the "correct" socially enforced opinion in your friend circle. I know because I am also in this second group and I can spot you a mile off. 070

Michael @britmonkey.bsky.social · 11/06/2025It's not giving away the islands that bothers me, it's about paying for it. My entire life I've been told "um...we don't have enough money for nice things, sorry" and suddenly there's £30bn for a random African country to abolish their income tax. 060
Michael @britmonkey.bsky.social · 22/05/2025Remember to email your Labour MP and ask them to explain why they cut PIP payments "because we can't afford it" but then simultaneously agreed to give £101 million per year to Mauritius in exchange for literally nothing. 350

Michael @britmonkey.bsky.social · 05/03/202520,000 useless things costing >£1 million or more? Like shooting fish in a barrel in Britain. The Youth Parliament costs £2.4m. Scrap that and it's only 19,997 to go. Nobody would miss it. 090

Commonwealth citizen (South African/Canadian) so he is entitled to vote in the UK, be elected as an MP, or nominated for a peerage in the Lords. We should really get rid of that loophole. 2131
Michael @britmonkey.bsky.social · 11/02/2025Rose jumping back onto the Titanic is obviously the irrational choice but that doesn't make it a "plot hole".
