In 1970 the Government owned Energy, it owned Water, it owned Rail, it owned Mail, it owned Steel, it owned Shipbuilding, it owned Oil and Gas.
There was a 100% tax on these industries profits.
Now many of them pay 0% tax.
That is where all the money has gone.

A massive building purchased by ICE for $70 million in Arizona to “warehouse” immigrants.
Calling this “housing” is a lie. This is storage. This is treating human beings like inventory.

Nigel Farage currently railing against Parliament being full of "professional politicians".
He founded UKIP in 1993 and was first elected as an MEP in 1999, twenty-six years ago. Less than 5% of current MPs (31 to be precise) have a longer career in politics than Farage. ~AA

Nobody wants this, he has 4 seats, does any other party gets this coverage?

I was quite surprised to see it. I imagine it's performative Christianity as an act of aggression against Islam, and perhaps to appease some American Christian nationalist donors. I wonder how many of them actually attend church 🙄
Apparently they recited the Lords prayer.....if thats Christianity ....forget it

I'm not American and I knew nothing about Mr Kirk before he was killed, so I refrain from posting on the US aspects of his death.
OTOH I know Boris Johnson and I am concerned about UK politics.
If this is the type of "free speech" that Johnson and the UK right wants to defend, I am appalled.

When access to guns is lax all are vulnerable.
If you're a controversial shitstirrer, left or right, you're even more vulnerable.
If you have openly advocated access to guns for all, there is a certain sick irony if you're shot dead.
Acknowledging the irony is not enjoying Kirk's death.

So, right now, the only reliable way to diagnose endometriosis is with exploratory surgery. But finally, real scientists (instead of male scientists), are on the job & of course they’ve identified multiple markers in menstrual blood that point to noninvasive testing.

We've all experienced having to stand in a packed train while first class sits completely empty. It makes no sense to divide up our trains like this.
Our railways should be welcoming, inclusive and accessible to all.
It's time to scrap first class and return those seats to use.
