No society can legitimately call itself civilized if a sick person is denied medical aid because of lack of means.

Are the right wing press barons become more than afraid of Zack Polanski?

They've been printing some shite about him and the Green Party lately, surely their fear has outgrown their journalistic integrity. That's supposing they had any in the first instance.

I'm never actually going to need to write another comment piece again am I?

The right wing shit rags are just going to keep recruiting for us.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Such a pity it's untrue. The committee neither denies nor confirms nominations until 50 years after the awards.

It's good to see that these fools are still spouting their tropes and misinformation.

If they had a modicum of an education in history they'd know why people changed their names. It was probably their forbearers that caused the problems.

The right to protest is an inherent right in the UK. Kier Starmer & Shabana Mahmood are trying to take that away.

Workers rights, a womens right to vote, LGBTQ+ equality all used protests to achieve a goal.

Do not let them take it away!

Don’t crush our right to protest!

The right to protest is the heartbeat of democracy. It lets us speak out, challenge injustice, and hold those in power accountable. The Government’s plan would give police sweeping powers to ban repea...

After 14 years of failed government policies the Conservatives have failed to learn anything.

Same old, same old will not be attracting back those voters who turned their backs on them at the last election.

Keep on, Kemi you're doing fine.

Tories offer £47bn austerity - cuts to disability benefits, PIP for mental health claimants, social housing, civil service, regulators, green economy, accompanied by anti-migrant rhetoric.

Won't hike taxes the rich or curb profiteering.

The nasty party heading for the dustbin of history.
