What if there was a consensus on the tax reforms the UK needs?

What if it was backed by policy experts from think tanks across the political spectrum, from the Adam Smith Institute to the Resolution Foundation?

The consensus is real. The question is: will anyone act on it?

The Nigel Song. To the time of Frere Jacques. He's a traitor, he's a grifter He's a fraud, he's a con He's never cared for England, he's Vladdy PooTin's lapdog Nigel's wrong, Nigel's GONE!

How about a nice little singsong when you're out humiliating fascists?
Something my friends made.
Can sing it as a round, like the original Frere Jacques.

School pupils are to be taught how to tackle conspiracy theories, spot 'fake news' & root out misinformation. The Daily Mail, ajudged by Wikipedia to be an unreliable new source, is furious. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out why.

If this isn't fake, and you haven't already had your Last Straw with Labour, then...

Black-and-white portrait of an older man in a suit and tie, standing against a plain white background. He looks directly at the camera with a serious expression. Beside him, text reads: “Every recording, every edit, every mix can become an act of Magick because media reprograms perception, and perception is reality’s operating system. ‘Your medium is the message, kid, and the message is magick. Now cut it up and play it back until the world changes tune.’” The image evokes themes of media, magick, and creative transformation.

Control feeds on fear. Your artistry can seed new emotional circuits ...ecstatic, irreverent, compassionate... that dissolve control patterns rather than reinforce them.

I asked Carroll and he mentioned the troll by name. Totally consistent w the troll's MO and style.
Also, Pete Carroll's ego is so vast he would never admit to being wrong on that scale.

Ok! Someone in an online magic group I'm in posted the link up.

Petition: Reduce the maximum noise level for consumer fireworks from 120 to 90 decibels We think each year, individuals suffer because of loud fireworks. We believe horses, dogs, cats, livestock and wildlife can be terrified by noisy fireworks and many people find them intolerable.

How did you come across the post? I'm curious as to how the troll is spreading his poison.

Despite the fact that I have substantial disagreements with Carroll, that wasn't him. It's not even a good parody. It's by a nasty little troll whose name I won't mention because I don't want to increase his renown.

Rare serious post

When I arrived here in an ambulance, sirens and blue lights going, Saturday night, I was terrified, I was genuinely scared, I thought I was going to die.

But people from all nations and walks of life fixed me and cared for me, and all for free.

Thank fuck for the NHS.

Pint?

Simplest thing is just mute the ads and make a cup of something. Or play with phone.

“The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.” -Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country

This. Always this.

Nige is no longer laughing at himself as he ‘performs’ yet another big speech | John Crace Reform leader is trying to make it as a mainstream politician – which involves contradicting himself and gaslighting voters

“His main theme was that the country was fucked. Largely because of Brexit. Weirdly, he has no memory of being the main architect behind the Brexit vote. He seems to think it happened in a world in which he played no part.”

Farage - the foghorn of failure.

Notable in today's YouGov that the centre/left bloc - Lab/Green/LD/SNP are on 54%. With Reform/Tories on 43%. That's the biggest differential in a long time.

I think useful to track blocs given instability between parties at the moment.

Let’s not forget Nigel Farage is commenting on his own promises here.

He’s saying Reform UK promises are unrealistic.

Promises made in a General Election ‘Contract’ and repeated during a local election.

What a liar.
