Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

People are just realising that we had a better grip on immigration within the EU They gave us bar staff and builders - we gave them sunburnt pensioners and seaside property booms. It was win-win.

"Now we’ve swapped a system that worked for one that doesn’t, all in the name of sovereignty."
Well...there is a surpriseπŸ™„#Brexit benefits keep flooding in! Meanwhile, the knob that's responsible for it, almost singlehandedly, is given a free ride by MSM!

Amazon controls over a third of the global cloud computing market.

Its customers include Capital One, United Airlines, and the US Army.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Nigel Farage should tell the people of #Caerphilly about how he wants to abolish the Senedd.

Actually, no need, we have a video of him saying it.

(Also about how Fox Hunting turns him on).

Q: How will you send the Guard into Chicago without the cooperation of the governor and mayor?

TRUMP: If they do cooperate, that's good, if not, it's not gonna matter at all. You know who wants to help us? Police department. They have no respect for the governor. They have no respect for the mayor

A black and white dog with slilky floppy ears like a spaniel. She has a pink collar and there a pink fluffy toy behind her. She’s standing in a living room by an orange rug.

Do you know a ghost story about a dog? Does a hound haunt a local lane?
I’m collecting creepy canine stories please share if you have one!
