You would think the alleged indiscretions of the schoolboy Nigel Farage would have drawn outrage from a just, impartial British media. Strangely, it seems they have not.

A nation that demonises people fleeing war and terror and constantly paints them as lesser humans is a nation without a heart. That’s the path we’re on and we must not blindly walk it.

Capitalism’s death should have been in 2008.

But we carried on into decay.

The decay allowed the monsters into the world and the people became zombies.

If we don’t find the alternative.

The monsters will thrive.

UK energy bill payers to hand £2bn a year in subsidies to EDF, owned by the French govt, for building two nuclear power stations.

That will come handy in keeping energy prices down in France, improving govt finances.

Dividends won't be taxed in the UK.

All because UK govts oppose public ownership

Capitalism only competes when it is forced to.

What we have are monopolies, on Energy, on Food, on Housing, on Healthcare, on Public Transport...

They don't compete, they just charge as much as they possibly can.

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.

How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?

They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?
