This is oligarchy. This is obscene.
While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.
End this oligarchy.

Hey British media,
It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning.
Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

After years of cheering on Trump’s war against “government workers,” his own diehard supporters are now realizing that means them too.

If AI is so damned clever, can’t somebody tell it that if someone asks it to generate porn involving children, the right thing to do is phone the police and let them have all available contact details of the perpetrator?

Right wing voters (I used to be one) are divided into two very unequal groups:
Tiny minority are the Billionaire media owners & their paid liars.
Vast majority are gullible voters believing what the Tiny minority tell them to believe through direct & indirect control of almost all news output.

As America moves away from Europe it is ever more vital that we renew our ties with the EU and reduce the effects of the disastrous extreme Brexit we ended up with.
Labour are letting our country down and making us even more vulnerable by not doing so immediately.
