A broken world of rich v poor: billionaires v wage slaves, exploited by kings, dictators, bankers & the fascist oligarchs who rule our lives. Their greed for money & power kills us one way or another. * NOTE: don't ask me for money. I literally have none

"When the rich rob the poor..."

The thing is, they never *stop* robbing us. It's not "when", it's constant, daily, 24/7, 365 days of the year.

The tax evasion, the hidden wealth, the manipulation of government, of laws and of everything we pay for with our work and taxes, never stops.

#UKPolitics

A quote by Mark Twain:
"When the rich rob the poor it's called business. When the poor fight back it's called violence".

Here's BBC's Fiona Bruce saying people don't want to talk about the traitor Nathan Gill and Russia bribing Reform politicians.

Please share to tell the #BBC that we really do want to talk about it.

No politician or billionaire is coming to fix this. It’s just us and that’s enough. It always was.

Start small. Grow food. Share water. Repair things. Help neighbours. The revolution won’t look like a movie, it’ll look like community.

Land is no longer just a factor of production; it’s a speculative store of wealth. It has fundamentally reshaped the UK economy, making housing—both rented and owner-occupied—unaffordable and fuelling wealth inequality.

CAPITALISM:
Works us hard, pays us little.
Exploits the workers.
The rich will kill you.
You are just a number.
The meaning of life?

SOCIALISM:
Fight back.
Demand justice and equality.
Join a union.
Tax the rich.
Live a life worth living.

If this is true, it’s just an excuse for #Labour to blame someone else instead of owning up to their lack of action.

Yes, it's true that #Farage has harmed the #UK with his hate & anti #Europe rhetoric, but #Starmer could take us back into the #EU & enforce policies to #TaxTheRich.

But he won't.

Edwin Hayward @edwinhayward.com · 12h

According to media reports, Labour are about to engage on a mad attempt to blame future tax rises on "Farage's Brexit" having caused more damage than expected.

Several gaping flaws:
- "Make Brexit Work"
- Constant Brexit red lines reinforcement
- 14 years of the TORIES in power
- Flatters Reform

It's time for millionaires & billionaires to contribute their fair share. They can easily afford it, & it won't impact their lives at all!

But instead they'd rather squeeze the last drop of blood from us. It's pure greed on their behalf.

Agreed. In desperate situations, we all would.

But the question is: WHY in the 6th richest nation in the world would ANYONE need to steal due to lack of money??

The answer is because the rich have it all, & govt after govt do NOTHING to redress this.

#Labour, #Tories, #Reform aren't on our side.

BladeoftheSun @bladeofthes.bsky.social · 16h

The Headline smear, what Polanski actually said.

Mr Polanski, 42, said he too would 'consider shoplifting' if he also had no other option to earn money or obtain food.

Zack Polanski said people who steal because they do not have much money should be shown compassion

#Farage is the shiftiest, most untrustworthy person in politics.

Reminds me of a joke: A sham, a liar & a traitor walk into a bar. The bartender says: "Good evening Mr Farage" 🙄😁

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?

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.

I disagree.

RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

Simply this! 👇

We share more similarities with people from other countries than we ever will with the millionaires & billionaires, yet it's the latter who bring us the most misery.

Immigrants, poor, sick, & benefit claimants are NOT the problem. Don't listen to our politicians & our biased media.

Reece Dinsdale @reecedinsdale.bsky.social · 10d

When are we going to realise that people from foreign lands are not automatically our enemy… but the likes of Michelle Mone and her husband (and those millionaires and billionaires who are making money out of your misery and at your expense) are!
