Olly Robbins sacked over Mandelson scandal

The Mandelson scandal claims yet another victim. Late on Thursday night, Olly Robbins was sacked from his post as the Foreign Office’s Permanent Secretary. It came six hours after the Guardian first revealed that Peter Mandelson had failed his security vetting clearance in late 2024 to become the UK ambassador to the US, with the decision being overruled by the Foreign Office to ensure he could take up his post. The briefing from No. 10 is that the mandarin was sacked after losing the confidence of both the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary. But both the timing of the move – announced after the Friday papers had gone to press – and its speed suggest that this is a fairly cynical gambit for self-preservation. As one Tory MP predicted even before the news broke online: ‘Robbins will be lined up as the main fall guy for No. 10.’

I didnt think it was possible to get anyone as fucked up as the last dipshit Pope was, but this guy may run laps around him.

With capitalism, opportunity for wealth is the carrot. With socialism, you replace the carrot with a whip.

This is why socialism fails. Without positive incentive, there is no motivation to improve. In ancient Rome, to combat low morale the emperor ordered that every Roman citizen would be given a free loaf of bread every day. Morale improved but malaise took over Rome and not long after Rome fell. There are lessons throughout history if we care to learn them.

I've said it here many times. The average American cannot not outthink the left, just as you cannot out think a criminal. Their brains are simply wired differently. This stunt by Mandami and the Governor isn't about taxing the wealthy. It's about keeping wealthy people from fleeing the city and losing that tax revenue. They can no longer flee the state and it's heavy tax burden. If someone wealthy kept a home in NYC, they'll get taxed even if they don't live in the state. If they sell the home, whoever buys it will know full well he'll have to live there and it can't be a second home, thus guaranteeing a tax base for NYC.

In addition, if you're going to sell an expensive residence in NY, your asking price just went down because some people just won't buy it only to get taxed if they don't live there. It's a scam and could only be thought of and imagined by a criminal mind.


Democrats are always looking for new ways to take our money. All they ever do is take things away from us. Not just money, but other things like incandescent light bulbs, plastic bags, gas cars, gas lawnmowers, and other garden tools, guns, cigarettes, sugary drinks and even basic rights like free speech.

What they stand for is completely contrary to the foundational ideas that make America what it was intended to be.

Anyone who still lives in NYC deserves what they get. I wonder what it would take to get them to move out? For those of us who live in the vicinity of NYC, we know that since Giuliani left the city has gone down him and must faster with Deblasio as mayor. It is a shithole, as Trump would say and it is time to let it die.

We all knew this was probably coming with how people ara abandoning these leftist blue states in droves.

They want to handcuff people (especially middle and upper class) to their state now. All these "no escape" taxes are going to steamroll people now. They should have got out while they could.
Side note: Mandani is building a $30 million government run grocery store in NYC. We all know what will happen to it.

One more note about income taxes. I had to provide my drivers license number, or some other form of government issued ID, to file my taxes. Perhaps married women should not file taxes and then argue they couldn't get an ID.
