And if we have trillionaires increasing their wealth at 40% a year, this is what you get.
This is what you get.
No food, no housing, and governments which can't do anything.
And this is why the UK situation is actually, the UK has the highest borrowing costs of any major Western nation.
And that is bad, very clearly.
And that is why the UK government so much has its hands tied.
And it's so limited in what it can do.
And I think whatever you say about Keir Starmer, I think he probably did want to do more than he could do, but he was very quickly disciplined by financial markets and basically
He was essentially deposed a year and a half ago and just sort of had to sit on his own grave for a year and a half on his way out.
The UK government is probably the first government in the Western world that has reached this point where it is no longer able
to provide the things that its citizens need by running, I'll again show you this graph, this graph down.
What this graph of government wealth going down shows you is that for a long period of time now, Western governments have been providing you, Western people, most of my viewers are in the West,
with a decent quality of life by basically selling the family silver.
Western governments were able to accumulate a big chunk of wealth during World War II, just after World War II, and they have been providing you with a good standard of living by selling that stuff back to the rich and by going in debt to the rich.
That is obviously never sustainable.
You can only sell your assets once.
The rich will only allow you to get into so much debt before they stop lending.
And the UK government has been the first one to hit that wall where they can no longer do this.
To be honest, in my opinion, frankly, stupid thing that Western governments have been doing for 40 years of saying, let's just give all our debt to the rich and people who have no capacity to tax.
You've hit that wall and you can no longer borrow.
