This is pretty much the only post anyone should need to understand that Farage is a traitor, a conman and a populist simpleton who must *never* be given power.

It is the source of so many of our evils: the astonishing concentration of wealth in the hands of a very few, and the immense political power that gives them. We cannot solve our problems until we tackle it.

At the root of all our problems stands one travesty: politicians’ surrender to the super-rich | George Monbiot
There are many excuses for failing to tax the ultra-wealthy. The truth is that governments don’t tackle the problem because they don’t want to, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Reports say Transnistria is cut off from military resupply after Ukraine and Moldova closed routes and tightened controls at checkpoints.

About 1,500 Russian troops are left without reliable access to fuel, weapons, or key resources. Air and land logistics appear blocked.

Imagine if China was shooting innocent women in the face.
Imagine they kidnapped the leader of Singapore and killed 80 people there.
Imagine they were staging a coup in Malaysia.
Imagine they were threatening to invade Japan.

Why is it fine the USA is doing it?

Reform UK now have multiple viable paths to power in Britain.

They could reach No.10 without ever facing proper scrutiny – another critical failure of the mainstream press.

Trump just said "all" of Venezuela's oil must be made accessible to US oil companies. Trump wants to emulate Putin's model: Authoritarian, expansionist rulers carving up their regions and distributing the spoils of conquest to friendly oligarchs. 1/

If you work and you have a job you are taxed.

If you don't work, if you 'earn' your money by being a landlord or a stock trader, you pay half the tax or less than people who work do.

If you are a CEO, if you own a company, you pay virtually no tax at all.

Tax the rich.
