The big problem with the “serious people should be left to do serious politics” thing is that the serious people doing serious politics have repeatedly fucked up for the past 40 years
And today it's the turn of The Times to try and patronise us all.
Every single day the right wing establishment tries to close ranks.

Bad enough we have billionaires, let alone a potential trillionaire! Even worse when its a individual who uses the social media platform that he owns, to incite violence in foreign countries! #FuckMusk
Our bad, it should have said 20 million instead of billion.
Still, pretty obscene right?

Tesla have approved a $1 trillion pay package for Elon Musk. That's 20 billion times more than a nurse in the UK earns.
Don't let anyone tell you immigrants or disabled people are the problem. It's the richest 1% hoarding all the wealth.
Time to tax the super-rich properly.

Wow.
The Greens are not just SECOND in this poll.
They're now 3 points ahead of Labour - who are fourth.
Time for Labour to stand down to stop splitting the anti-Reform vote!
