I just supported this case! Stop Executive overreach. They are reducing our right to protest by rebadging it as terrorism. Disabled elderly people.

If Xi Jinping invaded Taiwan right now, and toppled the president there, on what grounds would the United States object? Or have any credibility to say anything?

Are these intrinsic values or those hyped by the market do “someone” can make a killing.
A quarter-century ago, the teams in the four major North American leagues were worth a collective $30 billion. Now, they’re valued at more than $500 billion—and one has seen appreciation of more than 6,400%.

All major civilisations, just before they collapsed, showed this level of wealth inequality
America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.
The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.
Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

Labour is turning Britain into an authoritarian state.
That’s bad enough now.
But imagine what a Nigel Farage government will build on all these authoritarian foundations.

The anti - Muslim hate being directed at Zohran Mamdani is at levels I’ve never seen. The goal at this point by the right and pro-genocide crowd is to incite violence against him.

The Caerphilly result is what we need to see everywhere at the next election: people coordinating to vote tactically for parties which seek a fairer, kinder, greener country.
Pushing out both those who have betrayed our trust AND those who seek to exploit that betrayal.

I guess that is why millions have been spent (no, not really) in improving school ventilation …. mostly resisted on the grounds of expense…. Yet schools all have high fences around them now courtesy of govt funding.
Future historians looking back on this will doubtless stand aghast at the time lag between Chris Whitty testifying "improving ventilation in schools would be a good thing-clearly highly desirable" & the UK Government actually doing anything about it.

Q - May I ask you about your views of ventilation in schools as a way to potentially deal with future pandemics & generally ventilation being a good thing for children's health and wellbeing?

Am I right in supposing that the majority of these fans have had recent postings in the IDF and might that explain their belligerence? They’re suffering ptsd?
Labour please take note [they won't].
