I just sent the following letter to Shabana Mahmood, Secretary of State for Justice:

Dear Shabana Mahmood

I have just read the amazingly lucid and well articulated open letter from 5 women imprisoned, in my view pointlessly and maliciously, in HMP Send.

Prison is criminal

You can do everything asked for when cycling and still run the risk of being hit by some irresponsible drink driver.
Drink driving should be a decade long ban. If someone needs their licence then they shouldn't drink and drive. It's not hard.
And that twat is still the mayor.

Banned from driving for just over 3 years and a £3k fine for hitting someone with a potentially lethal weapon whilst drunk.

Driving offences have been basically legalised in this country.

Hitting someone whilst drunk driving should carry a lifetime ban, repossession of the vehicle, and time.

The killer in this case should never be allowed to drive again.

But why are the people who design our roads to keep producing this result never held to any account?

"The government has said that airport expansion can only go ahead if it meets tests on climate, noise and air pollution, and growth. Proving that will be an immense task – and breaking this promise will threaten their environmental integrity going into the next election"- T. Bosworth. foe.uk/f099g

We have always lacked but desperately need politicians & those with great public reach to call out and challenge the outrageous, normalised, gross injustices of Capitalism with its corrupt and corrupting BillionaireClass and its pillaging, polluting corporations

Markets love certain kinds of populism. If it's far right, like Farage or Trump, they seem to enjoy it.

They are afraid of these things you might do because they know they would work, ad perhaps people would then support further changes. It could get inconvenient.

I'll think about them but I will levy the same level of care they levy towards me, towards the small and medium businesses, the environment and the economy they constantly steam roller over all the time to convert a sickengly high level of wealth in to a sickengly higher level of wealth

I think what he's describing here (40 seconds in) is what he means by populism.

"I think we need to be talking about the food on the table, the heat in our homes, and yes....the means of production."

We are building a socialist alternative to establishment politics.

Help us do it.

We the fans are invited to give our full support, with draconian legislation to make sure that we do, to the Billionaire Class who're busy amassing more wealth, power, massively corrupting political influence, etc, than any human being should have in a genuinely just, egalitarian, democratic system.
Did you know, the founding document of the UN climate process says you have to be nice to fossil fuel producers.

Anyway, please sign up for this newsletter, even free is great, thank you!
