Children In Need has to be one of the greatest con jobs of our time.
Despite a miniscule £48 million being raised last year, the great British public's capacity to embrace the annual charade remains as bewildering as ever.
So I have an idea. Let's build a few less weapons next year. Job done.

1. This is a thread on freedom, and how easy it is to lose.
Over the past 2,000 years in Europe, there have been few periods and places of freedom. For much of the time we lived under highly oppressive tyrannies of various kinds, whether small or grand, local or imperial, secular or religious.🧵

Many in the UK still think the Royal Family's raison d'etre is generating tourist dollars for the economy.
Bullshit! The monarchy is a societal control tool - to manipulate public opinion, deflect govt policy, and enable and reinforce the notion of first and second-class citizenship.

The chief behavioural psych problem with Scottish Unionists and English Nats is a conditioned belief that the "ruling class" is best equipped to govern - be it the aristocracy, Eton/Harrow cartel or Oxbridge PP&E collective.
Simply put, it's cap-doffing as a way of life and on an industrial scale.

The SNP introduced free tuition and we will always ensure Scottish students do not pay tuition fees.
Meanwhile in England, students pay over £9,500 a year and Labour will put fees up every year.
Education must always be based on the ability to learn, not the ability to pay.
