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 1 month 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 2 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 Sunak rejects offer of youth mobility scheme between EU and UK 6 months ago:
labour can only win the next election if people who vote tory change their minds and vote labour instead.
it’s an easy win for the tories if they can say “labour will immediately let millions of foreigners into our country to work and stay and marry”
this is smart of labour to avoid the trap and once they’re in government the attitudes can soften.
