It's funny that the rich say only working people should have any value.

But when you look at the rich, none of them work, certainly nothing of value to anyone but themselves.

Maybe we should take their own advice when we are treating them?

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer.

Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer.

We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is.

It will never reach you.

What is needed is an attack on profits and a tax on billionaires.

Tesco alone could pay every single one of its 372,000 workers an extra £10,000 and still make a profit.

Profits are your wages being stolen.

It's very important to understand that Privatisation wasn't a mistake by Margaret Thatcher and Privatisation isn't going 'badly', it wasn't even about the vast profits.

It was always about destroying democracy so they could have control forever.

Poor people are poor because the billionaires underpay them, overcharge them and don't pay their taxes so benefits and Public Services are terrible.

Yesterday they gave £3bn to Thames Water.
Today they have to take £5bn off Disabled people.

It should be the other way around.

The Media demands that Disabled People don't receive a pittance that keeps them alive.

But ignore the Billionaires who rob tens of millions from the taxpayer by paying nothing at all.

I wonder who owns this Media?

Will nobody think of the <checks notes> multimillionaire TV personalities?

A reported £1.1m every year, from license fee payers. But why not tell the Telegraph "over lunch in Soho" that you resent paying your tax? What could go wrong. 👀~AA

The supervised toothbrushing scheme at school is fine.

But the real problem is 50+% of people don't have access to an NHS dentist and Private dentists are charging 5-10x more.

Everyone needs to go to the dentist, it doesn't matter how well you brush your teeth.

If only we treated the tax dodging billionaires with 1% of the attention we focus on the almost non-existent benefit fraud, we would be drowning in money.

Richest 1% in the UK have - £2.8tn
The poorest 70% (everybody with less than £650,000) have - £2.4tn

That means if you took half the 1%'s wealth and gave it to the poorest 70% they would get 60% richer, and the 1% would still be more than 20x richer than them.

The Government claims it needs to make £6bn of benefit cuts, here's a big long list of places where they could make far more money.

£42bn from ending Brexit.
£80bn Bank profits, even a 10% tax is £2bn more.
£120bn Energy Company profits, quadruple what they were before 2021.

There is a war, the rich against the poor.

They want everything and in order to get that you must have nothing.

Word of the day is ‘matutolypea’: extreme grumpiness in the morning.

From the Latin ‘Matuta’, Roman goddess of the dawn, and the Greek ‘lype’, ‘grief’. Put them together and you get ‘morning grief’.

Who knew that after 2024 came 1933?

Margaret Thatcher should have been arrested and spent the rest of her life in prison for selling State Assets well below their worth to her mates.

People who buy politicians and the politicians who sell themselves should all be in prison.

A single billionaire dodges as much tax as it takes to pay 60,000 benefit claimants.

But strangely the Media never demonises them.

If only he were capable of growing the little mustache or speaking in public...

Why the fck do we still have Brexit?

Mark Zuckerberg would hate it if this got out and his wife saw it...

The UK loses £400m every single day it isn't in the Single Market.

That's the entire NHS budget.

Haha more like 20 seconds and you are transported into a million burning fragments.

It's not the Disabled people, it's not the pensioners, it's not the immigrants.

It is the billionaires taking all the money, paying no tax, cutting your wages and increasing their prices every single year.
