Also, if you genuinely think IHT is immoral because it means taxing wealth twice / taxing aspiration / the human urge to pass assets down to children or whatever, it shouldn't matter what form those assets take. Encouraging people to treat property like a wealth bank rather than a home is bad!

In case you missed it ... Here's the Nobel prize-winning economist Esther Duflo destroying the claim that foreign workers reduce domestic wages. In fact, they actually help UK workers by adding to the talent base and allowing the economy to grow. Getting rid of them just leads to more automation. 🇬🇧🇪🇺

And there it is. JK Rowling personally and publicly offering to bankroll litigation against Amnesty International using her massive wealth.
A screenshot of a social media thread on X (formerly Twitter) featuring two posts by J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling).
​The first post reads: 'Should any of the women's organisations targeted by @AmnestyUK's recent 'anti-rights' blacklist wish to take legal action, applications can be made to the JK Rowling Women's Fund. jkrwf.org'.
​This first post includes a quote post from the account Trans Widows’ Voices. (@transwidows) that says: 'Whilst I understand the detriment to Beira's Place is real, and focussing on @jk_rowling get clicks it's a shame that mainstream press coverage of the Amnesty debacle is not also focussing on us smaller groups listed who do ...'
​The second post, a reply in the thread by J.K. Rowling, reads: 'Gay men's organisations named on the list are welcome to contact me through my website. While the JK Rowling's Fund was set up to support women, JK Rowling herself is more than happy to donate to your legal fighting fund.'"
