In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.

It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.

There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

Anticipatory obedience is contagious. But it is still wrong.

The Choices I’ve Made From Marc | Since the election, media figures and outlets have followed suit — each moving gradually towards obedience to Trump and then suddenly.

Feels like this is a good time to repost this essay about the choices I've made.

"All corners of public life are showing gradual signs of accommodating Trump. Some of the voices most critical of him three weeks ago have grown more measured. Others have gone silent."

Eleven more days until the really long nights start drawing out again.
Hang on in there, fellow depressed hibernating people, not long now.
Also, no:
Don't cut your fringe.
You have been warned.

Every word of this is a damn lie.

So, we've got this to look forward to ⬇️

When you’re right you’re right

True. Jenrick's point was awful. What really grated was that this was an intervention. Like "a point SO RELEVANT I must put it out there now". And stop making excuses for this shite.

Screenshot from the Independent Nigel Farage suggests MOs should debate rolling back abortion limit. Reform UK leader says it would be ‘worthy’ discussion and parliament should get more time ‘to debate things people talk about at home’.

No, Nigel Farage.
We emphatically do not talk about this at home.
You will not import your authoritarian christofascist Trump-style threats into our political debate.
Can’t tell you quite how far you’ll be told to fuck off if you try.

They are determined to undermine this government. They just cannot cope.

How in the world is the @Telegraph actually trying to spin this as a Labour problem when the mortgage increases were a direct result of Liz “The Lettuce” Truss’s dangerous combination of woefully misplaced self-confidence and weapons-grade incompetence?

I mean, seriously?!

I don't trust msm at all, everywhere you look Farage is spouting his shite somewhere

In the UK, Farage has decided to take the pay of US evangelical groups. He’s now spouting anti-abortion tripe and will go full-on MAGA anytime soon.

I don’t think it’ll play in the UK. The real danger is if the media starts making this sort of stuff part of the “conversation”.

UK covers up Gaza spy footage from day of aid worker massacre Exclusive: Royal Air Force has surveillance tape of Gaza from the day Israel killed British aid workers – but refuses to publish it.

Israel has just killed three more World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza.

This is the second time Israel bombs World Central Kitchen staff this year.

The RAF has spy footage from the day of the previous bombing in April - but refuses to publish it.

The Tariff Act of 1930 was designed for protectionist trade. It imposed high tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods which led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries.

Why am I telling you this?

The Strid in the River Wharfe: the most dangerous stretch of water in the world? Norky takes us to ‘the most dangerous river in the world’ (the Strid in the River Wharfe) which gives rise to a couple of good – if not necessarily true – stories!

"There are many harrowing stories of the unfortunate or the foolhardy people who try to jump the two-metre narrowest section and end up in the churning mass of water only to be sucked under and spat out a month later."

Elon Musk wants to ‘delete’ federal financial watchdog as ‘DOGE’ begins work “Delete CFPB,” Elon Musk, the billionaire tech executive running the “Department of Government Efficiency,” said in an early-morning post on X.

Kemi Badenoch at #PMQs: "We had a budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards."

Here are the tractors blockading the streets of Whitehall in March this year. They were protesting - you really couldn't make this up - Badenoch's trade policies. 😂

Elon Musk publicized the names of government employees he wants to cut. It’s terrifying federal workers | CNN Business When President-elect Donald Trump said Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would recommend major cuts to the federal government in his administration, many public employees knew that their jobs could be on ...

He is deliberately scaring these people. It's not terrorism—but it is politically motivated abuse intended to cause fear.

Americans will learn in the coming years that it would have been wise to listen to a Trump and Musk biographer who's called both men evil (at least in the way any human can be).

Farage really is a canker sore on the arse of society

Here he is tub thumping his blatantly bot riddled petition to call a general election… because apparently he doesn’t like democracy when it doesn’t swing in his direction

Elon admits that any post on X with a link is throttled

He advises you to upload content directly to X instead, where he can monetize it
