I mean, I don't know much more.

I don't know.

I was going to say, I don't know.

I don't know anything about Belfast.

I have a better view about the UK, which is if you're aware of the troubles from the 1980s and 70s, I almost got myself into really big trouble.

But I just think, you know, Australia, the UK and Canada and then tangentially Germany have all sort of gone down this path of open borders.

Never mind the social things, which we're not allowed to talk about on this podcast.

But the net zero stuff, you know, you know, basically weak productivity, higher taxes, infinite deficits.

And then and then we talked about the media.

I think the intense media pressure on the Internet system and the media to basically keep a lid on all these what have proven indisputably to be bad decisions.

Excuse me.

And so.

I think it's fascinating.

But one of the counters that my friend said, and I'll wrap this up really quickly, was that does happen.

People say it's coordinated.

Keith might say it's coordinated, maybe not.

But there are other times in history where countries that have politicians that share the same worldview, right or wrong, do things in concert.

So Reagan and Thatcher were a pair, as an example.

And they pushed through their versions of what they think

these their countries should focus on from a political perspective we may agree with them we might disagree with these guys but that does happen where you get countries sort of group think together to go down paths better or worse or whatever but social uh protests you know that's the same as my comment earlier about you get a market
