Got my first city, Lviv in 3 tries. Interesting puzzle for someone who doesn't like games but does like cities.

We found this book and the whole Davis concept exceptionally useful in understanding how dyslexic children think and visualize. It really helped us and our granddaughter. If this looks interesting I can also recommend an excellent Davis teacher in South London.

Byline times have just released an excellent article titled "No There Has Not Been an ‘Exodus’ of UK Millionaires and New Wealth Taxes Won’t Force Them to Leave Either". The article doesn't really look at the source of this "exodus" claim. But the claim is almost certainly rubbish. (1/10)

Not many people have actually looked at the source of this claim of a "millionaire exodus". I have done a detailed thread on it here: bsky.app/profile/did:...

The Independent newspaper took their rubbish claims and stated, totally untruthfully, that "the UK has lost a millionaire every 45 minutes since Labour came to power".
This is disgraceful and incompetent journalism, and typical of the UK press at the moment. (9/10).

In summary, there is no credible information either about how many millionaires there are in the UK, or how many are leaving. But the last people you should believe are Henley or NWW. (8/10)

The "three million" millionaire figure comes from an annual UBS report. The methodology is described only as "based on separate estimates of the three main wealth components for each market
– financial assets, non-financial assets and household debt. Or total f*cking guesswork. (7/10)

In summary, there is no "data" behind this claim, the methodology is wholly unexplained, and the proposition is completely unlikely. It is worth noting that the Byline article takes as gospel that there are 3 million millionaires in the UK. This is also horseshit. (6/10)

So NWW/Henley are asserting that over 10,000 UK millionaires, of which 50% are company founders, are planning to leave the UK. Really? The very people who are least likely to leave the UK are those who have significant capital investments here, as the Byline times article makes clear. (5/10)

It turns out NWW gets a large amount of their "data" from surveying LinkedIn and similar sources. The vast majority of people in this database are company founders (50%) or senior company executives, not highly mobile international millionaires. (4/10)

NWW "tracks the movements of over 150,000 high-net-worth individuals in its in-house database." If this database is spread across 90 countries, it is clear that they do not cover even a small percentage of the (supposedly) three million millionaires who are currently in the UK. (3/10)

The source of the" exodus of millionaires" story is a Henley & Partners press release based on "data" from "New World Wealth". NWW is a South African company that "covers 90 countries and 150 cities worldwide, with a special focus on Africa and Asia". So not exactly focused on UK then. (2/10)
