So your very wealthiest British investors won't actually put most of their money into an ISA in the UK.

They'd go for extra investments, which do incur tax.

is like what we used to say during the financial crisis.

If you owe the bank 50,000, it's your problem.

If you owe them 500 billion or a million, it's their problem.

People who come to a negotiation matters.

HSE, because we're a national health care system, buying in bulk does have the leverage to be able to send these negotiations in the way that they did.

You know, it's unfortunate for the people involved that it led to that negotiation for it to be essentially declined first by the HSE and then going down the road of this negotiation.

But it has worked out, it seems, in very much in their favor to get the pricing down.

Yeah, I'd broadly say that, but there are limits to it.

So, you know, there's talk that there might be counselling, for example, provided to parents.

And I'm not so sure, even from reading the papers, whether that means counselling to kind of inform the parents that they've done wrong or to actually hear them out and hear, you know, the difficulties they face.

You know, many parents are scared of their children in cases where their children are acting in a criminal manner.

And many parents don't want their children in the outcomes that they end up in.

So, like, take, for example, the fact that fines already can be administered by the courts.

That's also reported in the papers today.

And there's no great suggestion that the government's going to change that because it's up to the courts then to decide.

And most of the courts don't decide that.

What seems to be the road we're going down is that more of the intervention programs that have been there, resources towards them.

What I'd add is that capacity at Overstown does need to increase.
