Fox hunting is a revolting sport. It's only survived in any form because it's done by ghastly, entitled, influential and aristocratic people who feel it's the God given right to charge about the place in silly costumes tearing animals apart for no good reason.

This video is completely correct.
£3bn a year has been taken from the NHS to give to US billionaires because Donald Trump demanded it, in return we get nothing.
And MPs don't even get a vote on it.

Given the BBC is publicly funded, this is Donald Trump suing you & me.
It’s a pathetic cry-bully attack on journalism by a wannabe dictator & an attack on every British person.
And our far right politicians & pundits are cheering him on, of course. #r4today

I will just point out the Doctors have asked for a maximum of £800m, that's for 71,000 doctors who run all the hospitals.
That's 'too expensive'.
But when the Water Companies asked for £5bn, they were given it.
Broken Britain, money for thieves, no money for you.

Names alone don’t reveal who is bankrolling power.
Under current rules, donors with common names can remain effectively anonymous.
We need far stronger donor transparency, regardless of party, so politics can’t be bought behind closed doors.

The Government spends an average of £230,000 a year on every single child in care
Of that more than £60,000 is profit that never even goes near a child
The corporations get that, but if you foster a child you get only £10,000.
A sick system that has been twisted for profit

I asked someone why bosses get 100x the pay when they don't do 100x the work.
They said 'because they take 100x the risk'.
No they don't. The point of a ltd company (a 200+ yr old innovation) separates business liability from personal to *limit* risk.
If the worker doesn't get paid, they starve.

Before 1965 companies in the UK paid Income Tax, just like a person.
That would mean they would all now be paying 47% tax, not the 25% Corporation Tax they pay now.
On top of that they paid an extra 10% profit tax.
So they'd be paying 52.3% tax instead of 25% if it was 1960.
