There are two types of Jews in the world. Jews who took the lessons from the Holocaust seriously and Jews who support Netanyahu and Israel.

Think about this. UK police under a government headed by a Human Rights lawyer are not only brutally arresting those peacefully protesting against a genocide slaughtering & starving thousands of babies but purposefully delay justice & impose house arrest. Fascism

Why is it that "tough choices" are always about harming the poor and disabled, and never about making the very wealthiest pay their fair share?

The government cites 'difficult choices' when they are harming the most vulnerable, but increasing defence spending is apparently easy.

Labour could tax the super-rich to end poverty, build social housing and fix our NHS.

They are choosing to go after the worst-off instead.

For a while, many people didn’t know what this government stood for. They do now: tough choices for the poor, endless money for war.

Lord Bamford owes £500,000,000 to HMRC he has retired from the House of Lords and fled.

He expects his debt just like Michelle Mone's £232,000,000 debt to be written off.

We must recover every penny from these thieves, and toss them in jail.

Lousy social care
Crumbling schools
Profiteering by corporations
Tax abuses by corporations/rich

But it happens. Govts indulge corporations and the rich.

The problem with Politics is there is no punishment for lying or failure, and you can take as much money as you like off anybody.

Anyone else in any other job would be fired or in jail.

That is the problem.

Human sacrifice is legitimised by UK govts and practiced in every town (see linked article).

Thousands sacrificed to the gods of free markets, privatisations, austerity, fiscal rules, mustn't tax the rich.

None of it delivers prosperity.

Must change politics.

Crazy that we hear about Train Drivers who get £60,000 a year for driving a train.

But we never hear about the boss of Tesco who gets £30,000 a day and doesn't even pay tax in the UK.

Or the £250m a day that the likes of Amazon, Vodafone, BP and Shell don't pay in tax.

I can't help but feel we need a better system than donations altogether.
“All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations. This would, by necessity mean no donations from private companies; PLCs, LTDs, whatever.”
