Murphy Richards is Ritchie\'s very amusing spoof account. It is scarily realistic and a must-follow on Twitter.

Oh, I'd missed that reference. Thank you.

I got the feeling that most companies wouldn't use the liability guarantee thing precisely because they want to keep their liabilities parcelled up neatly into subsidiaries. I could have got that wrong, I guess.

So what do they teach on PPE courses? I did philosophy myself, so it's evident they don't know a shred of philosophy; the financial crisis and their proposed 'solutions' prove they are equally ropey when it comes to economics; so you might at least expect them to be aware of some of the fundamental principles of politics. Apparently even that's too much to ask.

Hi both. I use dormant bank account claiming as an example of something where the government knows that it's somebody else's asset but goes ahead and takes it anyway. I suppose another example might be wealth taxation (as opposed to income tax). Even if you believe that the money might be put to good use, should governments be undermining citizens' property rights?

I'd be very interested in both of your thoughts on the reasonableness of my assumption. I've had two people question it on Twitter, but neither was able to provide a better one.

I cut a little bit of his preamble. But those are his policy suggestions, verbatim. It's really a very strange piece indeed, for the reason you mention.

I've seen what you have written about me on Twitter.

I have not repeatedly misrepresented your comments. Rather, I've been trying to understand what you mean. As indeed, I hoped you were trying to understand what I mean.

If it's crappy traits, perhaps you'd cast your mind back to why I blocked you on Twitter. In case you've forgotten, it's because you mocked me for having depression. Now that, my friend, is a very crappy trait.

I don't think you're cross with me because of anything I've written. Instead, I think you've ascribed motivations to my writing that simply aren't there. That reflects your own biases rather than my own. You might want to think about that.

You're welcome to keep posting here; you'll be aware that I haven't edited or censored anything you've written here. But if you choose to do so, please find the civility that you seem to demand of others. Currently you would fail your own tests of decency.
