Class war its always class war.
My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

In the last twenty years, mega-donations to political parties from the super-rich haven’t just doubled.
They haven’t just trebled.
They’ve gone up sevenfold.
And that money isn’t generosity.
It’s to buy influence so politicians serve their interests, not our constituents.

And of course Reform UK isn't a party it is a registered company. If they take control of the legislature this is literally a corporate acquisition of a sovereign nation - Let the flagshaggers try their "we want are country back" then
🔴 Nigel Farage’s Reform is more reliant on super-rich backers than any major party in modern British political history
75% of *all* Reform donations *ever* have come from just three rich men

Remember. So much easier to corrupt one judge than a whole jury. Especially when they are already corrupted. We need to keep jury trials.

Does a resident doctor earn more than an MP? No. Let’s save the desperate morality grasps from politicians then. MPs have had umpteen pay rises since 2010 and they have quietly and relentlessly awarded these to themselves, regardless of what the public is going through.
