What horrifies me about this is that it is highly unlikely intelligence services etc didn’t know about Epstein’s activities long before this which means that child abuse is just something to turn a blind eye to (see also Cyril Smith, Al Fayed etc etc)

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.

His donors are destroying democratic and legal processes to pave the way for corporate rule. The US is becoming more insular. As your personal and employment protections are removed, there will be a vast supply of labour that will have to work cheaply in order to have a job. The race to the wis on.

It’s 10. Trump is clearly the front man, the salesman, who was there to get enough votes from gullible people to get him into office. Now he’s there, there’s no doubt who he represents and it isn’t the majority of US citizens. 1

The richest 150 people in the UK make £300m a week and pay almost no tax on it.

Does anybody really think that is acceptable?

(They own Energy, Banks, Supermarkets, Telecoms, Mobile Phone Companies etc, so it is all money coming from you)

Fourteen years of austerity wouldn’t have happened with a minority government.

If the Lib Dem’s had refused to form a coalition with the Conservatives, there would have been a minority government. Firming the coalition enabled the Tories to do what they wanted. As a minority government, every policy could have been challenged.

Will Netanyahu torpedo the ‘Gaza peace plan’ sooner rather than later?

Here’s Noam Chomsky explaining the cyclical pattern of Israel reaching a ceasefire with Hamas, and then openly breaking the ceasefire and resuming the slaughter.
