Yep, just checked this (you see it's a problem when you're arguing against people that know more than you, or have the resources to call you out on bullshit) - that's not USAID, and nothing to do with USAID, it's the government spending on data and 'on ground' information which is, y'know, actually really important.
Remember how Elon bought Twitter and totally destroyed the company through his own hubris? (At least that’s what I read on here). Turns out it’s not only profitable, but profit has doubled since he took it private. The loans are selling at 97 cents on the dollar.
We’re just ignoring this then, yeah? Because truth and accuracy, who cares about that these days, right?
I see that the level of insane paranoid delusion has reached its old level overnight. There is literally only one way to deal with it. Stop responding. When someone who NEVER deals with any counter argument just keeps flooding the field with paranoid Twitter-fuelled **** (exactly the way Trump does) there is NO POINT replying. Stop responding. Stop trying to be rational. It's a complete waste of time. You're trying to persuade the unpersuadable. If we all just stop responding, it will stop. It's the only way. STOP. PLEASE. Trolls starved of attention become bored and drift off. Don't feed trolls.
Which, I think, is the prime reason for Os posting misleading disinformation and blatantly false assertions regarding other posters on this thread. Such easily debunked nonsense is aimed at provoking a response that leads to a ban. His derogatory posts using "woke lefty" etc as insults deserve review but not a ban the posts are good for a laugh with all the faux indignation.

A certain poster of consistently right wing conspiracy nonsense joined my ignore list a few years back. It's a great feature, and I can thoroughly recommend it.
Drastically reduced costs, increased profit. Revenues down but that will recover now the government aren’t actively trying to ruin him. X will be a massive success over the next few years and become hugely profitable, just like his other ventures.
So what is your issue here? The civil liberties of a brown christian woman were ignored, she was locked up for 2 weeks in conditions the judge felt were inhumane, she was not allowed to work or collect benefits for 2 years. This feels like a loss of civil liberty. Why do you object to the non-white person appealing for compensation for government overreach? What is it about this person originally from another country who may not quite look like you that you object to?
Yet. Quite literally a matter of time, based on their recent financial disclosure. Any media outlet reporting otherwise has an agenda
Not speaking for Os but that's more than the MOD have paid out for soldiers who lost limbs. That's a ridiculous amount of money. 50k a week for being banged up in Yarls wood? Where do I sign up?
The judge has made the decision based on the evidence and the legal statutes argued in court. It has then been through a government appeal and remained this high. Perhaps the real message here is governments should be better at processing immigration requests - this woman had submitted multiple applications- and stop grandstanding with people’s lives. Anyone who has lived here for 20 years - no matter their legal status - has been here long enough to deserve respectful treatment. I agree we don’t want to pay out £100k for this ****, but I also don’t want to lock people up who are trying to go through legal processes. Bottom line? Tory desperation to win votes costs UK £100k.
