@BeckettUnite So we tax a bit less than £710bn at 3% and raise £76bl? I think that you need to invest in a new calculator. My properly functioning one tells me that 3% of 710 is 21.3 and that 76 is 10.7% of 710. Why do you keep making this stuff up?

@fletcherkathy8 @AwfullyMolly We all have flaws and many of us do good. How many of us promise something to complete strangers in exchange for money, take the money and don't deliver the promise though? In any other context exposure of that behaviour would be deemed a public service.

@BeckettUnite If you tax the entirety of £653bn at 3% it raises about £20bn, not £60bn. You really must get that calculator fixed. (and what does "almost £60bn +" even mean?)

@BeckettUnite The 2nd sentence is untrue. The govt (whatever colour) "hand" a budget to the NHS every year. The NHS itself then "hands" some of that to non NHS providers. But that's a minor point when your whole premise ignores that doing everything in house would itself carry a multi £bn cost

@Giveitago1 @AwfullyMolly @BootstrapCook On Patreon Ms Monroe promises to supply something monthly in exchange for a monthly supply of money, but hasn't kept her side of the bargain for 2 years. I would say that calling that out is a public service rather than character assasination.

@BeckettUnite There's a classic book called "How to lie with statistics" by Darrell Huff. I thought it was out of print, but you've obviously managed to get hold of it. As a ratio, in June '21 the cap to the gas price was 19; today it's 15. Would you like to go back to the good old days of 19?

@CarolineApplep1 @trackntracer @implausibleblog Track and Trace is a Royal Mail thing. Test and Trace, on the other hand, is what's paying for all the free tests.
