If Thames Water can't keep itself in credit operating a vital utility as a monopoly, its management are the least competent people on the face of the earth and should be barred from ever holding a decision-making position ever again.

Empty their bank accounts before they get a penny of our money.

The problem is really simple, on every channel, on every radio station, in every newspaper you listen to the lies of the richest.

The lies are always the same, they need more money, they can't be taxed, everything is the fault of immigrants or disabled people.

But they're the problem.

If you want to know why Britain is so messed up, take a closer look.

It's 2024 and we still have a monarchy.

Our media is owned by a handful of extremist billionaires.

We have an archaic FPTP system designed to strangle change.

We have a elite that are hellbent on privatising any national asset.

The truth about Capitalism is obvious when you think about it.

Money and power will always be concentrated into the hands of the most greedy and evil people who are prepared to do anything.

And many will follow them for a tiny fraction of that wealth.

The system IS the problem.

No country helping Israel commit genocide has any authority on human rights or international law. They may subdue uprisings domestically with widespread propaganda, but this doesn’t work on other heads of state. They have zero credibility now, less than zero. A circus of death.

The sheer amount of cognitive dissonance needed to believe that the West is supporting Ukraine out of a genuine desire to protect the Ukrainian people - whilst EXACTLY THE SAME politicians and arms companies are carrying out a systematic genocide in Gaza - is just staggering. Utterly delusional

The overwhelming majority of farmers will be unaffected by changes to inheritance tax. It's the multi millionaires who saw investing in land as a tax avoidance measure who are the ones complaining. This extract from FT is all you need to read to understand the issue

30% of children in the UK are growing up in poverty.

7% of children attend private schools

And yet the scandal of child poverty receives far less attention than VAT on private schools from much of our media class. A story of wealth and power in Britain.
