9. The ole gun buyback scam

Had a quiet word with Kobie earlier … eyes in the back of her head, her self-defence in general. Listened but is young, might already have taken care of it.

8. Lord Toby with Mark Ellse

… on Minimum Wage:

“The minimum wage is one of those policies people feel obliged to praise. It sounds humane. It sounds fair. It sounds as though it protects the weak. And, above all, it comes wrapped in the modern political vocabulary of equality – the one idea nobody now dares question. What is remarkable is not that the Left supports it, but that the Right has adopted the same assumptions. The belief that anything labelled ‘equal’ must be good has quietly replaced the older conservative understanding that equality can be either a virtue or a mistake, depending on how it is achieved.”

JH: Worth a read, methinks.

“Two weeks ago I commented on websites offering news on govt policy re benefits and tax. One I noticed is actually the site of a liquidated company, there are others which look like independent news sources using very similar graphics. A goggle search reveals that these are govt operated sites masquerading as independent.”
