Gonna post this every day, because it’s pissing some people off.

Release the Epstein files and client list.

Until now it seems, you didn't elect a president, you appointed a dictator. Clearly it's what you wanted.

RFK Jr and Statistics:

The true face of modern Republican morality!

Jesus Christ!!! Is this vitriol for real or some sort of bot based system to smother debate? I have a horrible suspicion it's the former (sigh) as people become that which they formerly despised.

Well no - possibly because I am in NZ (and you didn't tell me you were in the UK - so I didn't get to buy you a beer!)

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

I'm dropping faceplant too - almost no relevant stuff now and when there is, it's swamped with troll faeces.

In this I read "if you have a massive advantage of privilege we damn well intend to make sure you keep it! - finance and influence are free to swamp and crush all traces of integrity"

Andrew Norfolk is the former Times journalist whose work brought the grooming gang scandal to public attention...

I hope you are annotating these dreams for a screenplay

the biggest disappointment of my adult life - Starmer actually turns out to be ineffectual and bad at politics. Many said "just wait and see - he'll deal with the iniquities" - nah - rubbish pseudo Tory policies presented in anything less convincingly than the criminal bastards who preceded him!

Nobody got rich on their own.
Elizabeth Warren's observation also underpins the argument as to why it is right for the rich to say their fair share of tax.

flashback to the year 2019:

More than 10,000 people in the constituency of Saffron Walden have signed a petition to revoke Article 50 and remain the EU...but MP Kemi Badenoch says “we run the country based on elections and not petitions”.

We laughed at this not knowing it was actually prophetic…

Left: Kemi Badenoch says British citizenship should be "a privilege to be earned" and not an "automatic right"

Right: A Nigerian TV channel points out that Kemi Badenoch's mum flew to London to give birth to Kemi, then flew back to Nigeria, where Kemi was raised till the age of 16

Absolutely - in the same way the police investigate things that affect themselves far more thoroughly!
