Thatcher left a society with communities smashed, manufacturing industry wrecked, utilities flogged off and turned into profit centres for their (often o/seas) new owners. Worst of all was the mantra that greed is good, & that concern for others is weakness www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Thatcher was born 100 years ago and her reign feels a lifetime away. Why is her effect on the country still so huge? | Martin Kettle

Today’s politicians need to learn that she is not the answer to contemporary problems, says Guardian columnist Martin Kettle

The Establishment and their donors need you to focus on immigration, as they drain the coffers.
NOT SO MUCH A POLITICAL SYSTEM, MORE LIKE A CRIME SYNDICATE!
"This country actually harbours the largest tax avoidance havens in the world." Jon Snow

"I think tax avoidance is actually a very complicated subject, particularly for the British media because, of course, this country actually harbours the largest tax avoidance havens in the world; we have at least 13 of them which are directly connected to the crown, directly connected to the government."

Jon Snow

Starting to realise that NETANYAHU is the power behind the throne in the UK and that the Westminster Establishment are just their puppets.

#TwoTierKeir

@bheardmedia

Keir Starmer said one of the reasons anti-genocide protesters were "un-British" was "the taking of hostages, including British citizens."

In other news, following the kidnapping of British citizens by Israel, Starmer's spokesman said: "That's a matter for the Israeli Government."

The future of renewable electricity is here.
85-97% of electricity in Denmark comes from renewable sources.
This will grow in the coming years, as new wind and solar plants are constructed.
Here's fine explanation about the role of mega heat pumps use in district heating.

Starmer's right-wing pish appeals to folk down south. But not many in Scotland or Wales, set to reject Labour for the first time in 100 yrs next May. In 2026 it’s possible all Celtic nations will support the break-up of the UK. Conceal that if you can. www.thenational.scot/politics/255...

Lesley Riddoch: Keir Starmer is doing a grand job winding up Celtic nations

KEIR Starmer could be forgiven for feeling a little cocky today.

So I have a passport, a drivers licence, a national security number, a government gateway ID, a birth certificate, bank statements, mortgage statements, utility statements, tax records, and a p60 - but I will now need a digital ID card on my phone to prove who I am?? Fuck off, Starmer.

Corruptly set up a corrupt VIP Lane to corruptly funnel corrupt contracts to your corrupt mates, and they give you a resignation Honours list and let you resign quietly rather than put you and your entire Cabinet in jail so fast it makes your head spin.

Johnson, Gove, Hancock, Mone and the rest.
