One of the many things I wish I had been wrong about is saying that back in the nineties, our leaders looked at climate change and said: We can’t do shit about this without measures we find unacceptable, so future generations will just have to deal with it via machine guns, fences and attack dogs.

Yes the important thing to remember about these bastards is that they put blame-avoidance first, ahead of success. See also: choosing whether or not to stop the climate catastrophe.

Richard Tice - "Please welcome to the stage... Nathan Gill"

So much for Tice's claim to have never met Nathan Gill.

Well yeah, there's a character limit. Thing is, it's much less of a simplification than a 2-word phase.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

These guys now are selling magic beans back and forth to each other with money *they can't possibly afford* each desperate to not be left holding the bag because they all know that:

There is no pivot to a new grift left.

The billionaires have been organising to seize as much control as they can because they know very well that sooner or later, every democracy on earth is going to recognise that the best place for them is prison, in self-defence.

if i've learned one thing from doing union stuff while also doing other forms of organizing, it's that you're better off with people you disagree with who are nevertheless trying to do the same thing as you than with people you agree with who aren't trying to do anything

Greens growing. Reform ratttled.

PS - I changed my name back to my family's original Jewish name because I'm proud of being Jewish. If Tice think that makes me a weirdo, I think that makes him an antisemite.
