Reading Sowell taught me the depths of long term perverse incentives.

Not surprisingly, the leftist was French 🙄 this is why, broke, unemployed and uneducated, I left socialist France and came to Thatcher’s UK where I could work to pay for my education, get a fantastic job, buy property and send my daughter to the best international schools. I remember discovering economics. I immediately fell in love with the topic. It’s only much later that I discovered Thomas Sowell ( I’m not worthy 😉). What I love about him is that he is black and, like Kemi, tells it like it is. He is the one who made me understand how in a multi ethnic society we cannot be multicultural. We have to share a common values system, even though we eat, pray and live differently. At the moment, I am also very interested by Lee Kwan Yew’s thinking. Kemi, you go girl. You embody the 21st century. Would I be a British citizen, I’d vote for you.

Why didn’t Kemi push back against the French immigration invasion? They took British miney and then passed it on to the UK.
