"Three Rich Men"?

They'll want a lot in return for their money if Farage & his gang ever got elected to government.

So the racist turkeys who vote for him and ReformUK would be voting for Christmas and their own exploitation.

75% of Reform UK’s donations have come from just three rich men
Calls grow for donation caps as Democracy for Sale research reveals that three-quarters of Reform’s funding comes from a trio of wealthy donors

for Europeans wondering, quick splainer:

Starmer is pro israli zionism. Polanksi, who is Jewish, is the opposite.

Starmer is pro brexit "EU, SM, CU? Not in my lifetime" - Keir Starmer prior to 2024 GE. Polanksi and the Green Party england are the opposite, they want a referendum to join EU.
Polanski will reportedly only consider a deal with Labour on one condition though: Starmer being ousted as leader

US puts £31bn tech ‘prosperity deal’ with Britain on ice.

Trump doesn't honour agreements. It's about dominance.

Demands that UK ends digital services tax on US tech companies and it's food safety rules which bar certain US agricultural products.

Say NO to Trump slavery. Better off joining the EU

Trump describing someone as ‘deranged’ after their murder whilst referring to himself in the 3rd person should result in an increase in meds and an escort by people in white coats.
Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it?

TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.

"I defected from a totalitarian regime, and like hell am I going to be cowed again," & "I'm pissed off as hell about people capitulating to Trump"

She warns that people voting for such leaders are choosing "the same ball of wax" she fled, where figures dictate life, rights, & feelings.

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

As property investment funds scoop up public assets from cash-strapped councils, the little people who need to pee can get stuffed

“Some loos could be closed if they are near publicly accessible buildings with toilets or new ones opened up in areas of heavy footfall financed by new investors.”

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

His opportunism is bad enough.

But never forget that this is the same Nigel Farage who allegedly made hissing noises and whispered "Hitler was right" to a Jewish contemporary at school.

Things he has NEVER apologised for.

This looks like a fantastic present for any lover of landscape and archaeology! Something to look forward to in the New Year!
Something exciting is happening- In support of keeping the Chilterns Heritage & Archaeology Partnership afloat (DEFRA monies only go so far), I have been encouraged to launch a lecture series.

(and yes, I asked Sir Baz sometime ago about basing this on his book, so I haven't just nicked the title😅)

60,000 people – 0.001% of the world’s population – control three times as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity.

Top 10% earn more than the other 90%.

They control govts, means of production; inflict civil strife, deaths; thwart possibilities of democracy.

Tax the rich.
Just 0.001% hold three times the wealth of poorest half of humanity, report finds
Data from World Inequality Report also showed top 10% of income-earners earn more than the other 90%
