You have to be ready for the unthinkable. The stuff that "surely nobody would -?"
Because they will.

Lifting two child benefit cap 'not enough for families struggling with rent'.
No curbs on rents, water, energy bills.
Profiteering fuels, inflation, poverty. People condemned to poor housing, cut spending on food, essentials. Need welfare support.
Govts don't connect the dots.

So essentially, somehow the Chancellor has managed to spook the gilt markets for nothing. As good as signal tax rises and then cancel them in more silly briefings.
Wonder if this signals the end for both PM and Chancellor.
More likely to have panicked announcements on housing, pensions or a U-turn!

It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

oh fuck this is actually true
It's even worse than that - Truss had something she was trying to do, a vision of how the country could be different.
Admittedly it was batshit, but at least she believed in it. Keir Starmer barely seems to believe he's PM.

I saw that this morning. It’s so disturbing.
What gets me is that there was no social networking then. You couldn’t reach out and forge connections the way you can now. Some really fucked up networks must have existed.

The Epstein shit and the Sarajevo sniper news dropping basically at the same time cements how much wealth is THE problem. People with wealth believe they are above the law and can commit cruelty with impunity. End capitalism.

What the actual fuck have I just read
If you don’t know, an Italian journalist has revealed he has evidence that wealthy people from multiple countries paid money to Bosnian Serb forces in the 1990s so these people could shoot Bosnians during the siege of Sarajevo.

Very worth a read. The only light on the horizon is that these people will inevitably tear one another apart, probably with their AI robot and drone armies.
But not before they've destroyed the rest of us.
