Abraham Lincoln associated democracy with “government of the people, by the people, for the people”.

Possibilities are subverted as corporations and super-rich buy political parties and legislators

Yet no govt wants to ban political donations which buy influence/power for the super-rich.
We need to get serious about tackling corruption through political donations
The government's reforms are welcome but they won't end political corruption

I had a ginger cat who was determined to chew every wire and cable in our house from the day we took him in, aged about 5 weeks. The 1st time I was left home alone with him, I wanted chocolate so I slipped him in my pocket & went to the shop. He immediately tried to bite through all their cables.
Some absolutely top notch orange cattery here
