Very Stalinist.

It's official. The illegitimate Georgian Dream government will now be able to jail people for up to three years for publicly calling it illegitimate.

Britain’s Story: The Next Chapter - BBC Royal Charter Review, Green Paper and public consultation

This is the Gov looking for your input on the BBC. It takes a while to complete (15/20 mins) but it’s pretty comprehensive and covers most aspects.

Please share. I’m surprised many people haven’t seen it yet.

England can't even supply the steel needed to meet production demands, for battleships, in Belfast ship yard.

Why?

Rotherham's Liberty Steel is being held to ransom by...yes, you guessed it, foreign-owned investors.

Starmer didn't condemn the triumvirate of law and order Bills. He stated he would keep and monitor them. Since, he has added measures that further restrict the right to legally question the government.

Keir Starmer has a unique talent – to alienate absolutely everyone | Nesrine Malik Who is his constituency now? Not the left or the right – and not the centre any more. That’s why there’s been a nosedive in the polls, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

Wasted opportunities. Let's not forget Labour also has one of the worst Chancellors since WW2 -tin-eared, aggressive, and deeply unpleasant.

Jaywalking is self-determination

Embarrass the traitor, Fetterman, into resigning.

Donald Trump and Liz Truss

I just saw this posted (elsewhere) with the heading 'The Slug and Lettuce' and I genuinely guffawed.

That was the Tories.

But, Starmer has cut foreign aid, refuting soft power in favour of some weird notion that red wall voters in the UK would somehow see that as positive. I'd wager many red wall voters would think the opposite.

Starmer, following instructions issued by the White House.

There was plenty of demand for both businesses. They weren't zombie enterprises. They became victims of rabid inflation fueled by poor management of the economy and toothless regulations.

2/ I had to close 2 of my 3 businesses. Located in an inner-city area that features 7 on the census (1 = rich, zero problems), my customers couldn't afford a 2 to 300 percent increase in prices within 1.5 years.

Surely, one of the issues is that large corporations don't have to suffer the same consequences as SMEs and people entirely dependent on full employment. An action that has fueled price increases to an extent that workers just couldn't afford price increases. 1/2

I don't buy American bourbon anymore.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

In fairness, it took 5 years of studying progressive economics before I really began to properly understand how the current system works, why it's dysfunctional and punitive, and what better options exist.

The u questioning belief in neoclassical, tax to spend, is equivalent to believing the earth flat.

Which came first? The chicken or the egg? Tax or money?

Read up on the Medici.

Money creation is just an IOU, now based on a system that favours banks, perpetuated by people such as yourself who have bought into the lie.

‘It makes no sense’: the battle over plans for a windfarm by the Yorkshire Dales The fight for Hope Moor is set to be repeated across the UK as the government aims to hit its renewable energy targets

I once walked across the Scottish moors with an environmental PhD researcher who saw the Yorkshire Moors as an environmental wasteland.

It would once have been covered in trees and host to wild flowers. Instead, it's a monoculture.

Nonsense.

The national debt is the amount of money spent into the economy.

Wealth, as in extreme wealth, is the result of a taxation system that fails to manage common resources for the benefit of the majority of people and the environment, too.

I have zero respect for these people. They're dangerous. They perpetuate the tax to spend mythology, the essence of neoclassical economics, better known as austerity. They're like syphilis.

A populist pundit whose fame is based on inviting people to share their often ill-informed opinions over a phone-in and then start arguing with one another. Basically, Radio 1, but with the right to reply, but no requirement to actually do any research or draw on evidence. #MarshallMcLuhan

We're f**ked. Meanwhile, we let psychopaths such as Trump and Putin rule lagre nations that place zero value on the natural world and the people that inhabit it. Maybe they're a by-product of Gaia!

LBC - low Brow Cr*p. James O'brien is one of the most annoying people in the universe.

Shattered dreams: Why the battle for Sunderland’s glass centre has turned into a political flashpoint Custodian University of Sunderland says renovation costs of £45m are too high and building must be pulled down. Not without a fight, say locals, who believe they’re being taken for fools

This personifies the UK - ditch any public service or museum that doesn't make a profit, especially if it has the advantage of being prime development land. What a miserable country we've become.

National debt is a lie told to scare people into being meek and subservient to their political masters.

The England team failed to heed the advice they were given - bowl at the top of the off stump, maintain line and length, and when batting, accept the ball rises more than in the UK / Asia. As in, use your feet.

Starc bucked the trend. Accuracy, consistency, and reading the situation.

Broad and Anderson were quick, but their skill was in their ability beguiled the batter, not how fast they were bowling.

These are for everyone not just immigrants. Everything needs to be shutdown to force the regime out. If people wait until all this infrastructure is setup it will be too late. Sadly people are not responding fast enough.
