Important to take the week as a whole. Statement from Dominic Grieve:

Indeed, the BBC as in the rest of the media are normalising the far right and fascism

It’s the precise reason why the public increasingly think right wing extremism is common sense

Conversely, basic left wing principles are seen as extreme as they are never platformed

Farage uses racism & bigotry to stoke race war

Corbyn promotes Social justice & policies that are commonplace across Europe which media tries to persuade us are impossible dreams

One is considered by UK media to be an extremist, the other is on Question Time every other week

A quick summary of global politics today;

World is becoming less equitable by day, with billionaires owning more & more of wealth/resources

Right wing/fascists growing in popularity as they are convincing more & more people that above issues are not economic but race/woke etc

It’s surely only a matter of time before Gregg Wallace;

Has an epiphany and ‘finds God’
Rails against cancel culture & the wokerati
Joins Reform
Gets his own talk show on GB News

She's right.

Meanwhile Starmer announces a crackdown on benefits…..!

stop immigration so we can take care of our own im starving. fuck off.

Not sure why this would be controversial

I find when I’m really enjoying listening to an audio book, it ‘goes in’ much easier than just reading - I understand and appreciate a book much more when it’s a good quality read

Happy #SocialistFriday Comrades ✊🏼 Solidarity to all.

ICC issues arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant and Hamas commander Judges found there were “reasonable grounds” they bore "criminal responsibility" for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.

This poses further urgent questions into Keir Starmers position in this.

The ICC are saying there is reasonable grounds that Netanyahu bore "criminal responsibility for alleged war crimes."

And our country has been an active enabler in the genocide.

Cats and Leonard Cohen are two of the greatest joys in life 😀

Water companies are so openly exploiting the situation its ridiculous

Stating they need to raise prices massively in order to make improvements while at the same time paying out massive bonuses!

Too many

Rather than putting "Christ" back in "Christmas," I'd settle for putting "Christ" back in these so-called "Christians."

No. More. Lip. Service.

Today we had to say a peaceful goodbye to one of our beloved cats, Natty

Its always main peril of being an owner of multiple cats, that you know there are going to be days like this but you also know you gave them a good life of comfort & safety

Goodnight my gentle friend x

Lets be honest, why should someone not have to pay a tax that everyone else has to, just because they are a 'farmer'.

It is ridiculous.

This is what we are up against large landowning aristocracy, the small farmer will NOT be affected by this Inheritance tax only these people the landed gentry
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH time they paid their fair share like we have to

The farmers dispute makes it easy to see total bias of our UK media in favour of the rich

Just Stop Oil = ‘Look at massive impact your protests are causing me, you are extremists & belong in prison!’

Farmers = ‘Look at the effect of Govt policies on these poor farmers!’

“Since 2020, it has been illegal for landlords to rent out homes rated below E under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards regulations. Of more than 30 rated F or G at Sandringham, eight were rated G with one getting the lowest possible score of one point out of 100.”

I’m at that age now (52) when the hardest question people ask me at this time of year is;

What do you want for Christmas?

I can’t think of anything material I actually want

Yes, an economy rigged in favour of the rich, who sponsor/buy our politicians to ensure it stays that way.

Or, if all the celebrities stopped hiring expensive accountants and just actually paid their taxes…
