Apropos bullies...oneupmanship. A large measure of life is based upon getting a laugh at somebody else's expense. The quality of being humane should be taught in schools.

We need electoral reform in the UK, and we need it now.
YouTube video by Richard J Murphy We need electoral reform in the UK, and we need it now.

It is a travesty of justice that Labour had a landslide victory at last year's UK general election with the support of just 20% of the UK electorate. We need electoral reform, and we need it now.

Harlow MP's concern over homes built in converted office blocks It follows another set of families being evacuated from their homes in Harlow.

MP's concern over homes in converted office blocks.

Tory/LibDem law enabled conversion, without planning permission. Substandard, cramped, fire risk slums.

Social Cleansing: Richer boroughs buy offices in poorer areas, dump people there, multiplying problems in poorer areas.

Deregulation kills.

just another, in a conglomeration of private wealth, that has purchased the media to push lies and smother the truth.

Next time you hear that the rise of dementia/ Alzheimer's disease is caused by an ageing population, remember... Japan has the lowest prevalence of the affliction in the world BUT also the oldest population.
Why?

Japan has the world's oldest population.
29.1% of the 125 million population is aged 65 or older and one in 10 people are now aged 80 or older.

Japan has the lowest prevalence of both dementia in general and Alzheimer's disease in particular.

Explain?

Not council homes, not even so called "affordable homes" just more rental flats. That's Labour vision for their new towns. Big corporate landlords are the future Labour are enabling.

Unfortunately, the rise of parties such as France’s RN and Germany’s Alternative fΓΌr Deutschland (AfD) and the far-right parties in government in seven European countries are a major concern. Nationalist and xenophobic ideas are gaining traction within the political mainstream of policy at EU level.

Starmer

I wanted to make things happen:
A force for good in all your lives.
But ambition is my darkness
And my darkness has a price.

I am diligent, caring, thoughtful always
But money skews the things I see.
So I rarely solve your problems
And now the problem here is me.

GRENFELL
The Building Research Establishment (BRE) was a centre of building science in the UK but is now a charity. It is the FORMER government national laboratory that was privatised in 1997 and would have checked the nature of the cladding used on Grenfell before it was ever installed.

Donald Trump imposes tariffs but Canada and Mexico hit back Canada, Mexico and China are America's three largest trading partners. Canada and Mexico plan retaliatory tariffs and China is planning to sue.

Trump imposes tariffs but Canada and Mexico hit back. Others will resist too.

Canadians booing the U.S. national anthem isn’t something I ever thought I’d see, but this is what happens when you let a psychopath criminal with isolationist and protectionist policies back into the White House.
