I guess the Civil War didn't really end 160 years ago. It's been simmering on the back burner with occasional flare ups since then.
It's burst into full flame now, and this time the Confederacy is winning.

Their lies coming home to roost. The Far-Right created the myth of wasteful local authorities and freeloading councillors. They exploited the myth to get elected. Then they found out that councils were severely underfunded, that allowances were a pittance. They need more tax, more allowances...

Things Farage wonβt answer:
1. Why did he lie about buying a house in Clacton?
2. What did he know about Welsh Reform Leader Nathan Gillβs Russian Bribes?
3. Why did he lie about meeting the Russian Ambassador?
4. Why is his flagship council Kent raising taxes and cutting services?
I have domestic solar panels. 5 Kw generation capacity and a 5Kwh battery. This year I've exported as much energy as I've consumed. I've pulled Β£1k back from my energy account and reduced my monthly payments by Β£100. I'm still at least the next 3 months in credit, including charging my EV.

I think it's "un-British" to be providing diplomatic cover, arms and intelligence flights to a rogue, genocidal state. But then I'm not Mr K Starmer.
Being accountable to an international court means our Government has to answer to them if it tries to undermine your human rights. Be very suspicious of any UK politician who wants to remove that check on their powers.

Before choosing which party I vote for, they must pass some minimum requirements.
1) Must NOT seek to reduce my basic human rights.
2) Must join the EU.
3) Must introduce equal and fair voting (PR).
The msm pursued the Rayner story in such detail it forced her resignation . Now thereβs a much bigger scandal concerning Farage of possible treason itβs like theyβve forgotten how to spell investigate & corruption. Itβs not only Farage who has a Russian problem, if our msm protects him we all do .

The vast majority want nothing to do with this imported hate and atmosphere of violence directed at people just trying to live their lives.

When the water industry was privatised in 1989, it had zero debt. Since then, it's accumulated combined debt of Β£60bn. This has been used to pay shareholders Β£72bn in dividends & to refinance companies: so original investors paid themselves back the original cost, ie they get the companies for free.
