Nothing will change until the political system is freed from the clutches of corporations and the super-rich The law is being used to enforce existing power structures for the benefit of the few

The rule of law has delivered:

Profiteering
Poverty
Poor housing
Low wages/pensions
Queues for hospital appointments
Premature death to many
Sewage in rivers
Cuts in spending on essential services
Closure of libraries, community centres.

Whose law, who rules? Govts appease corporations/rich.

Revealed: the billion-pound PPE contractor with a Tory MP on site Special report: Uniserve was paid Β£1.4bn for Covid contracts that included supply of Β£178.5m in never-used equipment

Nice to see this exclusive report in the Guardian, breaking the news that I reported 3 years ago in "The Decade In Tory" (one of dozens of lucrative, mostly wasted COVID contracts via direct connection to senior Tories).

The BBC was right about the Capitol riots. In a sane world, Trump would be in jail The US President faced impeachment over the violence, and in a world where Republicans had more courage, he would have been found guilty

The BBC is apologising for its Panorama edit. It shouldn’t. First, the narrative is true: Donald Trump *did* incite the Capitol riot. Second, the apology won’t appease those attacking it. So why not at least stand for something?

Tees Valley mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen promised renewal. Instead, Britain’s biggest regeneration project has turned into a taxpayer-funded scandal - enriching a few local businessmen while leaving public bodies on the brink.

Watch the latest episode of Page 94, The Private Eye Podcast, on YouTube.

Charity Commission: IEA must change to address political bias | Good Law Project After a formal complaint from Good Law Project, the charities regulator has told a radical rightwing think-tank to act on transparency and balance.

March 2024: We launch a complaint against the IEA
12 days later: Charity Commission dismisses our complaint
May 2024: We complain about that decision
1 year later: The regulator opens an investigation into the IEA
This week: The Charity Commission says the IEA must change

Yep. And to think that so many people think this man is some sort of hero is such a sign of our twisted times.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

#GVerse Um. WTF???

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "Pilots need to stop depending on air traffic controllers. They need to suck it up and go with their gut feelings."

This is the stupidest and most dangerous administration in history.

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

I remember growing up in a conservative household I was told about how in communist dictatorships, the people starve while the leaders build opulent palaces and ballrooms. Anyway, not sure why I brought that up.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about β€œyour money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.

β–ͺ️ If it's an immigrant...
"See!"

β–ͺ️ If it's not an immigrant, but they're not white (or don't have a white British name)...
"See! Next generation of immigrants!"

β–ͺ️ If it's a white guy with a British name...
"See! See what these immigrants made good peaceful people do?!"

Let's just take a moment to reflect on the self-sacrifice and hope this person embodies - not the evil, hateful monsters thirsting for violence.

An Exit Tax taxes individuals when they leave or remove assets from a country.

Many countries have them including Canada, USA, Germany and France.

The UK doesn't.

It should.

If it was a White guy stabbing people on a train all the people screaming about it now on Twitter would have never even said a thing.

Utter BS here from Elon Musk about immigrants turning up and 'raping the kids'.

But also about needing 'hard men' presumably Americans to protect us.

Far more British people died in WW1 and in WW2 than Americans.

Charles Corrigan is accused of Murdering someone outside a train station in August this year.

Does anyone remember that happening?

No because the Media and the trolls on Social Media completely ignore crimes unless they can use them for their own racist agenda.
