As ever, I am in awe of your meticulous planning for the benefit of the former people. The fact that you've assigned an entire island for the captivity of the Murdoch dynasty is particularly impressive.

Which inspired me to go back and take a peak at post #1 in that thread, and I'm left wondering if the 58 likes for Pickman's model response is some sort of a forum record?

What have you been doing about tax loopholes and the movement of international capital kabbes?
Are you paying full tax on all your stash?
In your tireless work as Head of Capital are you running some kind of ethical investment fund in the name of the common good?
Are you part of the problem or part of the solution?
Or are you a man preaching the gospel whilst lying in his gold bath tub in a surrey mansion, tutting at how unfair the world is?
You said before its "ironic" that you're Head of Capital - I can see the hypocrisy bit, but whats the ironic bit?

It was a cheap shot at Lupa. Truth is that you have no idea what she may or may not have done irl. You were hypocrisy-hunting wrt someone's life about which you actually don't know anything.
It wasn’t a shot at anybody’s hypocrisy— it was pointing out that Ireland has a big role in the blame for the EU’s unpopularity in the U.K. and you can’t just rail against the Brexit decision whilst ignoring that role. Ireland can’t just play the victim here, was my point. As a rhetorical device, it may have been cheap. But I wasn’t accusing Lupa of all kinds of shit, nor was I personally insulting her existence or lifestyle.

Is Ireland the victim of anything?
The UK took the vote independent of the Republic of Ireland, and the result was leave.
Ireland is reacting to that, not playing any kind of victim, and it wants to know the UK's arrangements for the different type of land border that 17.4 million people voted for.
In wanting to know, Ireland has the backing of the wider EU for that aspiration.
In the absence of a realistic and practical answer from the UK, the EU has effectively said that they reckon a good compromise might be a border down the Irish sea.

If Ireland operates as a tax haven and takes tax revenue away from other EU countries, then isn't it for the EU (which the UK is a leading member of) to do something about this, rather than the people of Ireland?
And if Ireland is extracting tax revenue from the UK then is the UK in a better position to do something about that inside or outside of the EU?

Don't know about tax stuff. The word on the ballot paper was 'leave' not 'tax'.
The UK outside the EU has the land border issue to wrestle with.

Without identifying whose responsibility it is, I can still note that if your country does something injurous to another, you can’t be surprised when that other country reacts. The reaction might be chaotic, unhelpful or self-harming, but that isn’t my point. The point is that it’s no use the first country clutching its pearls.
Regarding the second point: it’s probably better to be outside the system that enables tax revenue to be siphoned away from you rather than to be inside it.

You seem to be heading towards your high and mighty judgemental patronising place again where your snide tendencies can roam free.
I have suggested many times before, put me on ignore, you seem to find me irresistible judging by the regularity of your snide vacuous comments whenever you quote a post i have written.
