Everything you know about everything being wrong is wrong. (After thousands of years of enquiry and thought we have, actually, accumulated a fair amount of collective knowledge, which is in the process of being trashed by the worst people alive.)

Heathrow makes Β£3.5bn a year.

How much did Margaret Thatcher sell it for?

Sorry it's a trick question, she gave it away for free.

Been red-flagged & my account restricted in the other place, with no explanation given. Probably for criticising the genocidal state of Israel.

Victim of Epstein testified during Ghislaine Maxwell's 2021 trial that she was once a contestant in Donald Trump's teen beauty pageant.

The woman, identified by the pseudonym "Jane," testified that she met Trump at his Mar-a-Lago Club when Epstein took her there in the 1990s when she was 14.

I'd say a system which allows people to take a big piece of the cake.

So much for Trump's promise to bring down inflation...and he is also giving us inflation here in Europe & we didn't even have the opportunity to vote against him!

A photo of me holding a placard stating: Palestine Action Are Protesters Not Terrorists

If the police arrest me for this, it's a direct attack on the expression of opinion: ie on free speech. But the Terrorism Act is so madly oppressive and loosely framed that I have no idea which side of it I'm on. And I suspect it's the same for them.

But...the left is organising fast. A populist left may be what's needed against a populist right.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Want to import toxic chemicals into Britain with scant scrutiny? Labour says: go right ahead | George Monbiot Jacob Rees-Mogg’s Tory fantasy of a post-Brexit bonfire of regulations is coming true. Our bodies and ecosystems will pay the price, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Sorry to burden you with another jaw-dropping scandal. But what the government intends to do to chemicals regulation in the UK is chilling. Its consultation was slipped out so quietly that most of us missed it. When I read it, I saw why.
