The United States is the perfect example of Capitalism
The richest country in the world with the largest most expensive army.
The most people in prison, the lowest life expectancy, the highest medical costs, the highest murder rate and 60% of people living in poverty

Mass Privatisation.
So instead of your wages being decided by what your Government could afford and what you earned, you are paid as little as possible to maximise profit.

The Trump administration's foreign policy strategy attacks allies including the UK & has been enthusiastically greeted by the Kremlin. Last month, the USA announced a 'peace deal' the Kremlin had written.
And in the UK, the media is full of people still wibbling about 'Trump Derangement Syndrome'.

Seems like the real challenges the UK faces are too complex so instead everyone is going to choose to focus on complete inanities and who can be scapegoated next. Which is only going faster on the road to decline.

New net migration figures at 930am.
Net migration fell half a million to 344,000 in 2024 from 848k in 2023
56% of people think it went up last year
17% think stayed the same
14% think it went down
2025 figure to be lower again
16% expect that
38% think it will be up
31% about the same

On US TV shows and podcasts from 2009-18, Farage discussed supposed plots by bankers to create a global government, citing Goldman Sachs, the Bilderberg group and George Soros as threats to democracy. Included six guest slots with the disgraced far-right US conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
