Why are Indians disliked so much? Indians are competent. Often the best workers in the room. Low violent crime. Minimal welfare use. The numbers do not scream problem. The real reason is simpler and uglier than the usual complaints. The stereotype does not come from the quiet software engineer in Stuttgart or the doctor in Manchester. It comes from India itself. Open defecation. Garbage in the street. Zero regard for public space. Noise, chaos, and the constant sense that other people’s comfort is optional. The productive Indians in Europe rarely see this clearly. They do not shit on the pavement. They show up on time. They smell fine. They assume the resistance is irrational prejudice against high-performing people. It is not. It is resistance to the fact you are “not us and never will be us.” It’s called tribalism. Look it up some time.

🇦🇪 🇸🇦 🇾🇪 The UAE could be feeding targeting intel to the Houthis... the same Houthis firing missiles at Saudi Arabia. Gulf rulers are all hedging against whoever they fear most, and retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor suspects Abu Dhabi is playing both sides: “When have the Arab elites in the Arabian Peninsula been shy about stabbing each other in the back?” If two of Washington’s closest Gulf partners are knifing each other, the coalition the US would lean on for another round with Iran is already coming apart. @DougAMacgregor

🇩🇪🇵🇱 For decades, Poles packed up and moved to Germany for a better life. Now the traffic is starting to flow the other way. Nearly 5,000 Germans moved to Poland last year, the most since the pandemic, and more than moved to Britain, Italy or the Netherlands, per Germany's own statistics office. Ask the people who made the move and you hear the same list: lower taxes, less bureaucracy, trains that actually run on time, and an economy where everything just feels simpler. A Berliner who moved to Warsaw said that everyone around him is optimistic, while talking to friends back home just brings him down. Even German media is now asking what Poland is doing right that Germany isn't. Turns out the grass really is greener on the other side of the Oder. Sources: Handelsblatt, Remix News / Writer: Julie

What a thoroughly decent man Sunak is. And an exceptional brain to match. I hope he runs for PM again.

I read a piece in the FT this week about the price of being middle class in Britain now and it said a couple earning £436,000 combined take home £216,000. That’s a crazy amount of tax, and it doesn't include VAT on purchases, council tax, stamp duty or other taxes (I think does include pension contributions). I can’t stop thinking about it.
