Had youthful Farage's youthful alleged racism story concerned a leftist figure, it would not have been disappeared. Stewart lee on the UK mainstream media

You would think the alleged indiscretions of the schoolboy Nigel Farage would have drawn outrage from a just, impartial British media. Strangely, it seems they have not.

This week’s column by Stewart Lee

A nation that demonises people fleeing war and terror and constantly paints them as lesser humans is a nation without a heart. That’s the path we’re on and we must not blindly walk it.

Every word.

Mad at Meta? Don't Let Them Collect and Monetize Your Personal Data If you’re fed up with Meta right now, you’re not alone. Meta tracks you across millions of websites and apps and its business model relies on your data. If you want to limit Meta’s ability to collect

Meta’s surveillance systems are pervasive, but there are ways to limit how it collects and uses your personal data. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Capitalism’s death should have been in 2008.

But we carried on into decay.

The decay allowed the monsters into the world and the people became zombies.

If we don’t find the alternative.

The monsters will thrive.

UK energy bill payers will hand £2bn a year to EDF for new power stations French government-owned company to receive funding for Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C

UK energy bill payers to hand £2bn a year in subsidies to EDF, owned by the French govt, for building two nuclear power stations.

That will come handy in keeping energy prices down in France, improving govt finances.

Dividends won't be taxed in the UK.

All because UK govts oppose public ownership

Capitalism only competes when it is forced to.

What we have are monopolies, on Energy, on Food, on Housing, on Healthcare, on Public Transport...

They don't compete, they just charge as much as they possibly can.

This does nothing to make me want to come back to Labour. Pathetic.

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.

How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?

They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

"Tommy Robinson wants you to believe Muslims are your enemy, they are people to fear.

5.5 million Muslims fought with the allies in WWII with 1.5 million killed in action.

There are three things Rachel Reeves should bear in mind tomorrow: obscene wealth doesn't 'trickle down', tax cuts don't 'pay for themselves' and the private sector isn't 'more efficient'

Michelle Mone can be expelled from the House of Lords by a simple majority vote in the Commons, and then in the House of Lords.

Like if she needs to go.
RT if she has to go.

Brexit: “The most dishonest campaign in our history said it would save us £350m a week, but Brexit actually cost us £250m a day in 2025. That is why we have the highest taxes ever, that is why we have sky-high bills, that is why we have a cost of living crisis” @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

23,000 people died because Boris Johnson was too busy walking a dog, riding a motorbike and hosting guests as he took four days off at Chevening, instead of addressing warning signs of the pandemic

Why isn't Boris Johnson in jail?

Regulator bares teeth as dentists earn £1.2bn The gross profit figures for private equity-owned My Dentist, PortmanDentex and Rodericks Dental, and Bupa Dental Services rose by 20 per cent year-on-year between 2023 and 2024.

Curse of Private Equity.

Four of UK's biggest dental firms have raked in £1.2bn gross profit over the past two years,

Market controlled by My Dentist, PortmanDentex, Rodericks Dental, and Bupa Dental Services.

Prices 3.5 times more than NHS dentist.

No govt curbs profiteering.

The Confidence Trick That Put Boris Johnson Into Power Is Now Being Used on Nigel Farage The same people who convinced the British public to back a catastrophic Boris Johnson premiership are now pulling the same trick again with Nigel Farage

The right wing elite are ruthless in protecting their own and getting what they want.
They wanted Johnson. (And what a disaster that was for us).
Now they want Farage. (Would be an off the scale catastrophe for the country).
Time we woke up to the betrayal.

Daily Mail owner strikes £500m deal to buy Telegraph titles Acquisition likely to trigger in-depth investigation by regulator after agreement between DMGT and Redbird IMI

Well, this is pretty terrifying. The Daily Mail is buying the Telegraph.

One massive consolidated right-wing media empire controlled by off-shore interests at a critical moment in global politics.

What could go wrong?
