Labour (along with similar proposals from the Greens and Lib Dems) proposes to introduce a Land Value Tax. (LVT)—hereafter called the “garden tax”, which will be based on three per cent of the value of land for each property.
For many homeowners, this could represent a massive increase in their annual tax bill and force the sale of gardens in order to reduce bills.
“If you own a property with a large garden, your tax bill will increase by a large amount per annum. Many homeowners will be forced to sell their properties, or alternatively sell their gardens when Labour introduces the LVT. Furthermore, the LVT will be related to the area where the property is located. For example, a property with a large garden in for example Chelsea, London will be hit by a higher increase in annual tax to pay than a property owned in a poorer part of the country,” a property adviser revealed.
Moving from a property-based tax to a land-based tax would cause great instability in Britain’s property market, where many homes would be unsellable. Additionally, many homeowners would not be able to afford the vast tax increases therefore be forced to sell, but here is the conundrum, who will they sell their overpriced tax heavy property to? Not many will be able to afford to buy the LVT heavy homes, including stamp duty and all other costs involved.
House prices across the country would therefore eventually crash to the bottom, which is one of the reasons Labour would introduce such an evil tax. Impoverishing the entire nation is a major policy of the Marxist Labour manifesto, which espouses equality for all citizens in socialist poverty.
Already there is a stampede out of private schools across the country as parents will be forced to pay VAT on school fees. Comrade Starmer, the staunch Marxist leader of Labour, is heading for an election win. Labour are polling way ahead of the Tories, and the fervour to soak the rich is a serious agenda.
One day little Johnny will be enjoying his activities and tutelage in his £35,000 per annum school, and the next he is spirited out of his privileged surroundings to some dingy comprehensive with his posh voice and ideals way out of the norm. Naturally, little Johnny will get the living shit kicked out of him within minutes of landing in his new school, and from then on a daily beating will be promptly meted out. His hard-working parents just could not afford to pay the additional 20% tax on his fees.
The only viable option for parents in the current situation is to possibly leave the country for a while and find a place that does not punish private education establishments, or home school their child.
As a consequence of the Labour Marxist purge, many private schools will be forced to close down forever. Adverse reactions will also occur in state schools, which are already oversubscribed due to mass immigration and underfunded. The massive exodus from private schools to state schools will thus create a huge overcrowding problem that will affect all schools across the country.
Soaking the rich is a socialist wet dream that is now coming true across Britain, and will change the entire landscape of the country. Aspiration is already at an all-time low in high tax socialist Tory Britain, but it will get a lot worse under the hard leftist Marxist Woke Labour Party led by Comrade Starmer.

With the prices of everything painfully higher these days than just a few years ago, it’s unsurprising that our spending habits have changed in response – even after efforts to curb inflation have been made. While overall spending has decreased, particularly for categories like eating out or buying clothing, many still spend money online. When it comes to Brits, the following are some of their most popular online purchases.

Online Shopping
When discussing where people’s money goes online, it’s only natural that the topic of online shopping or e-commerce stores comes up, as it easily makes up the bulk of online spending.
In the United Kingdom, 80% of people shop online. However, even this popular shopping method has felt the effects of increased inflation. Overall, shopping online has decreased, with Britain’s spending dropping from £250 billion to £244 billion in 2021 and 2022 and continuing to fall in 2023 to £217 billion. Considering this drop is happening amidst inflation, this is undoubtedly a significant overall decrease.
The money spent at e-commerce stores typically goes towards clothing, electronics, furniture, beauty products, food, and people’s hobbies.
Clothing
Clothing is easily the most popular online purchase, with 60% of shoppers purchasing clothing online. Closely following this is shoes, with 38% of shoppers purchasing them online and another 25% also purchasing their accessories and bags online.
Electronics
A significant number of British shoppers, just over 20%, purchase electronics online, but the majority of electronic purchases are still made in-store. A few factors can be credited to this in-store preference, such as long shipping times and higher shipping rates, particularly for larger or more expensive products (like a TV). Another reason for this preference for in-person electronics shopping is the opportunity to try the products before purchasing (since online reviews and product descriptions can only tell you so much about these things).
Beauty Products
Nearly one-third of online shoppers spend money on beauty products. What’s interesting about this category is that people will often continue or increase their beauty or cosmetic product spending during times of economic turbulence. It’s a phenomenon called the Lipstick Effect, where small, lower-cost everyday luxury purchases, like lipstick, increase amid uncertainty.
Of course, when this theory was developed, online shopping wasn’t as ubiquitous as it is today, so how the phenomenon would impact online spending has only recently been discussed. However, when looking at 2022 online spending habits, this effect has also played out in the same way for online shopping as it did for more traditional forms of shopping. Skincare products and apparel by designer brands appeared to be the small luxury items UK shoppers (and even US shoppers) honed in on as they decreased other spending but still wanted to treat themselves.
Furniture & Home Goods
While plenty of online shoppers are willing to spend money at online stores on items like furniture or decor for their homes, much like electronics, most people still make these purchases in stores. The reasons for this in-store furniture shopping preference overlap with shopping for electronics, with shoppers wanting to see and test items in person.
Food
Seeing food on this list might give you momentary pause, but when you consider that you make food delivery or even grocery store pick-up or delivery purchases online, it’s less eye-brow-raising. Once you consider all the ways you can buy food online, it almost seems surprising that only 31% of online shoppers spend in this category.
Hobbies
Another big category for online shopping is to support our hobbies. In the UK, nearly 20% of shoppers spend money on books, DIY supplies, gardening products, stationery, and other materials.
Subscription Services
Subscription services are increasingly popular; on average, Brits spend £500 each year. The most popular services are streaming providers for movies and TV shows, including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, NOW TV, and BritBox. Following streaming services for movies and TV are those for music streaming services like Amazon Music, Apple Music, and Spotify.
But subscription services can encompass much more than just streaming services. Brits also have access to online subscriptions for platforms that provide news, audiobooks, live sports, workouts, and gaming memberships.
There are even subscriptions for physical products, with items arriving at subscriber doorsteps at regular intervals. Common subscription boxes in Britain include makeup, houseplants, alcohol, and books.
Online Gaming & Gambling
Gaming has always been a popular spending category in the UK, so, unsurprisingly, it has become an area where many Brits enjoy spending their money online. As noted in the previous section, gaming memberships are one way gamers spend online, but they aren’t the only way. Gamers can buy games online that they can download to their computer or gaming system and make one-time purchases within games.
Online gambling has also become a popular place for online spending around the world, including for Britons. Within regulated online casinos, UK players who use Paysafecard or other popular payment methods can find a wide array of gaming and betting options, and it’s this access and variety that have helped shape this multi-billion dollar online spending category.
Booking Travel Accommodations
Another way Brits love to spend money is on experiences like travelling. In fact, experiences have remained a priority in British spending even as other areas of people’s budgets are reduced. While in-person travel agents and companies are still common, many turn to online options to book their tickets and accommodations for a trip.
From splurging on the things that bring joy to fuelling entertainment and real-world experiences, online spending is done in many ways in Britain. It shapes everyday life and has become a common practice for the majority of people residing here.
Unelected PM Rishi Sunak and the Tories trailing far behind Labour in the polls are desperate. This is why his insincere electioneering is easy to see through as he tries to recover some of the Reform voters with his announcement to bring back National Service for 18-year-olds. If Sunak was truly sincere, he would have brought in the scheme months or years ago. In fact, it does not matter which government will be in power in the future, all of them will be forced to bring in National Service simply because of the global war situation, which is escalating daily.
If Sunak wanted to really win the election, he would dump the ECHR and Inheritance Tax. These two actions would be a sure winner and propel the Tories to heights in the polls they would have never believed, but Sunak would not dare to do such a thing, not only because he is a coward, but because these actions would go against his socialist Marxist ideals.
World War III already started some time ago, and even though it is currently only being waged in the Middle East and Ukraine, the mechanics of war and implications of its existence are still present globally and economically.
If National Service were to be enrolled throughout Britain, it should involve every citizen 18-45, and not just 18-year-olds proposed by Sunak.
After 14 years of rule, the Tories have effectively stripped the British Armed Forces of funding and equipment. It is great they are finally thinking about doing something, but it is way too little and way too late. Insincere electioneering by Rishi Sunak with gimmicks like this proposed National Service are a joke. Besides, preparing for war is more than just National Service, it is about manufacturing of weapons, ammunition and development of new technology. The Gears of War are multipronged and require multiple variables to accomplish a proper outcome.
The Daily Squib has been talking about National Service since 2015.
If one has tenaciously worked and invested diligently, why shouldn’t they be entitled to leave their assets to their children instead of the taxman? TV presenter Anne Robinson, 79, decided to give her fortune to her children before she dies. “I don’t want the taxman to have it”, she declared. She hopes that by spreading her wealth among her family now, there will be less inheritance tax to pay when she dies. More Britons should do the same, because inheritance tax is an evil, insidious form of governmental robbery that exemplifies an entire system designed purely to strip wealth from citizens.
You’ve worked hard all your life and paid your taxes, and when you pop your clogs that should be it, you should be able to give the entirety of what you worked so hard for to your children, but that’s not the case with inheritance tax.
After your death, the government takes a whopping 40% of your wealth. Don’t allow this to happen.
Of course, Anne Robinson (worth £50 million) knows she can share out her assets while she’s still alive without hurting her current lifestyle or risking being poor in the future. Not everyone is in that position financially, however you can still make moves before to gift your children some of your boomer accrued wealth to not only ease your children’s lives but dodge the inheritance tax hit upon death.
If you do decide to do this, it has to done 7 years before your death, so get on with it.
An unelected technocrat number pusher seeks election for the first time.
“I have never been elected, and I seek election by calling a general election on July 4,” the unelected technocrat revealed from Number 10 Downing Street.
With an air of certain doom, there does not seem to be any hope the unelected technocrat will be elected for the first time.
Since being plonked into the job by unknown people, the unelected official has increased taxes to the highest levels in 70 years, increased inflation and run around the place with expensive tin-pot ideas that will never be pulled off.
“Rwanda! Rwanda! Rwanda!” the official shouts as he toys with a loaded revolver on the table.
Thanks to this fellow, many members of the party he serves inadequately will lose their seats at the general election, and many more are jumping ship already.
There is no time left, it is too late, and certain failure beckons.
There is something truly terrifying about seeing robots decapitating heads then plonking them onto a donor’s body, but sometimes science fiction is believed by very rich people who have the desire and money to try to live for hundreds of years. Brainbridge is a company that will do exactly that, and a head transplant could be a regular medical procedure like having your tonsils taken out. Unfortunately, this procedure won’t work for Joe Biden because he is already almost brain-dead, poor bastard.
World’s First Head Transplant System: US Startup’s Spine-Chilling, Graphic Video Shocks Internet
At the heart of BrainBridge’s revolutionary procedure lies the concept of transplanting a patient’s head onto a healthy, brain-dead donor body, with the ambitious goal of preserving consciousness, memories, and cognitive abilities.
In what can only be described as the love child of a sci-fi thriller and a mad scientist’s feverish wet dream, BrainBridge, a US-based startup, has decided to play God with their audacious plan to develop the world’s first head transplant system. Their grand announcement came with a spine-chilling video that looks straight out of a dystopian David Cronenberg horror film, where two robotic surgeons meticulously swap a human head from one robotic body to another like it’s a fucking Lego set.
Despite appearances, BrainBridge insists this isn’t just a marketing ploy for the latest season of Black Mirror. They’re dead serious about offering a new lease of life to patients facing dire diagnoses like stage-4 cancer, paralysis, and neurodegenerative diseases or just old billionaires who want a new body and face. At the core of their grandiose scheme is the idea of transplanting a person’s noggin onto a healthy, albeit brain-dead, donor body. They promise to preserve all the crucial bits—consciousness, memories, cognitive abilities—because who wouldn’t want to live on as a head on a different body?
The internet, unsurprisingly, has erupted into a firestorm of reactions, ranging from amazement to sheer terror. Ethical watchdogs are clutching their pearls, fretting about humanity’s overreaching hubris. “What happens if they sew your head on the wrong fucking way?” quipped one sardonic commenter, mirroring the sceptical vibe. Another sceptic threw in, “Can’t compete with God the creator,” because apparently, the competition is on.
Then there’s the small matter of who gets to actually benefit from this cutting-edge wizardry. Many users suspect that, like most high-tech medical miracles, this one will probably be reserved for the moneyed elite. “This probably would be only available for the rich,” remarked one user, echoing the concerns of many who foresee a future where head transplants are the latest status symbol for billionaires.
Undeterred by the roaring debates online, BrainBridge marches on. Led by Hashem Al-Ghaili, the self-proclaimed trailblazer of head-swapping, the company has mapped out a meticulous plan for their vision. They boast of high-speed robotic systems designed to keep brain cells from degrading, ensuring the transplanted head gets along with its new body. Advanced AI will guide the robotic surgeons in the delicate dance of reconnecting the spinal cord, nerves, and blood vessels, like a high-stakes game of Operation.
To glue this Frankensteinian creation together, BrainBridge has developed a special chemical adhesive and polyethylene glycol, apparently perfect for rejoining severed neurons. Al-Ghaili is adamant that every element of BrainBridge’s plan is backed by rigorous scientific research, with an unshakeable commitment to pushing the boundaries of medical science and offering lifelines to those facing terminal conditions.
“If feasibility studies go well,” Al-Ghaili asserts with the calm confidence of someone who might just be running a massive experiment on humanity, “the first head transplant could be performed within eight years.”
BrainBridge’s bold gamble marks a thrilling leap into uncharted territory, showcasing the unstoppable spirit of human ingenuity. As the world watches this bizarre saga unfold, the trajectory of medical science teeters on the brink of breakthroughs that could either offer new hope to the afflicted or herald a new era of ethical quagmires. Either way, it’s bound to be a wild ride.
Those lovely people up on high who control everything that happens are possibly counting on Bird Flu as the next pandemic. Touted as Disease X, this time the planned pandemic will no doubt be another good excuse to reduce democratic freedom across the globe further. What little democracy remains in the West is currently hanging off a cliff by a broken fingernail anyway, but another pandemic will no doubt really fuck things up.
H3N8 H5N1 H7N9 P27
Whittling down the global population has to look realistic, you can’t just have one massive disease that lasts forever, you have to have outbreaks here and there to make things look more natural. There is no doubt that Covid was released by the PLA Chinese chemical warfare scientists but as a first run, the Covid virus was not efficient enough and the Chinese scientists have been working overtime to perfect a better lab-created concoction incorporating bird flu. Millions of Chinese tourists around the globe are a perfect conduit for viral dispersion. Already someone has died after contracting the virus in China blamed on a market, the same ruse followed by the Wuhan outbreak in 2019.
Covid engineered by China
Analyses of COVID-19 have shown that it has a 96 percent genetic similarity with the RaTG13 bat virus. While viruses need to be at least 99 percent similar to call them “the same,” the differences in particular have led researchers to speculate that COVID-19 was manufactured by modifying and weaponising RaTG13 for human infection. A French research team that examined the gene sequence of COVID-19 discovered that it has four more amino acids than other coronaviruses, making its transmission easier. Chemical warfare research is a large part of CCP funding for the PLA, and is a very effective clandestine form of warfare which weakens the enemy not only healthwise but economically.
Mutations of viruses that occur naturally only result in small, singular changes, where one would not normally see a naturally mutated virus suddenly take on four amino acids. While such a large mutation is not impossible, it is highly unlikely.
Further proof that Covid-19 was a lab created virus lies in the fact that if a virus does not occur in nature, then it is likely to be entirely stamped out.
This is quite different from natural forms of influenza, which cannot be easily eradicated, because they are part of the ecosystem. As of today, Covid is now a mere forgotten memory.
US elections
Trump derangement syndrome should possibly be labelled as a virus as well, and the timing of the Covid pandemic coinciding with the US election of 2020, means that in 2024, the people who released Covid will no doubt bring forth another virus to ensure Biden wins again. Many nations fear a Trump presidency, and top of the list is of course China because they know Trump does not take any shit from the Chins.
It is with great hope that the analysis of the current situation is completely wrong, but we all know sometimes the craziest scenario can be a fact, it’s just that no one wants to see what is directly in front of them simply because of fear driven blindness. Disease X of course could be anything, but the key is to look out for early warning signals when it is released into the environment.
According to the government, inflation has dropped slightly but if you check out the price of food and everyday goods prices are increasing at an exponential rate. Mortgage rates are remaining at high levels, with some even increasing. Fuel prices are increasing. So, what does this all mean?
It means absolutely nothing. Buying a single tomato will still cost you £2.45 and a tiny block of cheddar cheese is still £6.80. There are security fucking labels on meat. As prices continue to rise, the size of products are strangely shrinking. If you invest in a Twix bar you will have noticed that not only are the bars shorter but way thinner too. All of this at an extortionate price that will blow a hole in your fucking pocket.
The chart below with data from the ONS reveals the actual level of the Consumer Price Index since 2014. As you can see, the tiny 2.3% decrease in inflation touted by the Sunak regime is negligible compared to the 30% increase since 2014.
Consumer Price Index ONS
How does this play into the Tory government’s narrative that the cost of living is coming down? Utter bollocks and lies as usual.
When you see shoplifters coming out of your local Sainsbury’s with three bags full of cheddar cheese, some falling on the pavement during the relaxed strolling exit, you know something is very wrong. Luckily for the shoplifters, shoplifting has effectively been decriminalised, and the police now never address the problem.
“I saw one fucker calmly stroll into my local Co-Op. He walked over to the wine section, looked around for a few moments, then calmly picked up six or seven wine bottles and slowly walked out with not a word said by anyone present. This is the level we are at now,” a regular citizen revealed.
One thing is a certainty, someone somewhere is making some serious profit off this con job.
