What the framers of the US constitution didn't do: they guaranteed my right to say anything, but didn't protect my right to be heard.

I have always assumed that limited liability protects me against my company going bust, but that if as a director I knowingly deceive /cheat I would not have the protection of limited liability.
If that's not the case (maybe I'm very naive) then Gov't should retrospectively change the law.

In Nov 2016 I read a magazine article saying, don't worry about what President Trump will do. Worry about him putting a extreme conservative majority on the Supreme Court.
Even that writer didn't anticipate him putting a criminal majority on the court.

Teesside’s freeport, initiated in 2021 under Rishi Sunak, has cost £560 million far exceeding the standard £25 million allocation (22 times the standard £25m).
90% profits go to the private sector.
This clearly shows the UK model of State aid post-Brexit is utterly corrupt.

Starmer's repeated misjudgement is to always look to presentation and anticipate tomorrow's polls, and never ask about next month or next year.

Every time he shows a tiny bit of courage and initiative, within 5 days he takes two steps back.
And his courage takes the form of fine words, but his steps are practical positive (negative) government actions.

Not as bad as "having your cake and eating it"
Or "just one bad apple"

Maybe the Nobel Committee can offer Trump that as a project?
