It is class war! But if anyone on the Left says it, they're accused of the "politics of envy", or branded a communist. But it remains class war, and the 1% are constantly and consistently waging this war against everyone else.
Corporate funded think-tanks urge govt to cut benefits, pensions, schools meals, public spending; charge for seeing GPs.
Oppose taxes on the rich.
Support subsidies for auto, steel, film, shipbuilding, oil, gas, biomass, semiconductor, internet and other companies.

The TV personality, Nigel Charade, wouldn't exist were it not for the BBC. They've supported him all the way and featured him on their programmes weekly, if not daily in some circumstances. They've plastered him all over our television sets, to the point where he is now endemic... like a disease...

Nigel Farage, there... or as he's known in my household: "That traitor, Farage."
Who does Nigel Farage really work for?
Not Clacton, he’s never there and hardly uses his vote.
But the thought of ANY MP taking a call from a foreign leader to act on their behalf is beyond belief.
This man is finding new depths every day.

Labour changing policy on two-child benefits isn't ideologically-bound; it's coz they're panicking!
Were they f+×÷...
They're doing it to appease the polls, they're doing it because the Greens will wipe the floor with them in the May local elections, they're doing it because London is now Green leaning. They're doing it because the penny finally dropped that mimmicking Reform isn't working...

It's not the energy that's so much of a problem; it's the amount of water that's needed to cool the data centres and prevent microchips from melting.
Worried that using ChatGPT harms the planet? A new analysis shows each query uses less energy than a Google search – and far less than lighting a bulb or streaming TV.

How much energy does ChatGPT really use?
You shouldn’t really worry about your energy use when using domestic AI, it’s probably no worse than watching your favourite soap

Subcontracting builder here. Yes we generally do cut corners, take no care in our work and chip off early whenever possible. I'm living proof because I'm the one who left the vacuum cleaner on all night that burned down the Cutty Sark.

My thoughts, exactly!
I’d say they decided this some time around 1997 at latest and everything since has been kicking the can down the road
Yes, this is correct. And the reason is because our capitalist classes have decided that it is not sufficiently profitable, so they're not going to do it.
We must understand this reality. Capital *cannot* be relied upon to address the climate crisis.
