Capitalism is a cult.
As far as I can see the only criticisms of FM were taking charge of Covid response personally, (being a leader!!), and not acting quickly enough - before Covid response was devolved and her hands were still tied.

Yet they still turn that into an attack on her.

Our media can’t be trusted.

If Scotland was independent we’d still have the mother of all fights trying to wrestle ourselves out of the clutches of the BritishBC!

Pretty sure Patagonia wasn’t discovered then! Though maybe the close was renamed later… 😂

Compromised by Russia and Israel and threatened by China. Meanwhile Trump!, in an environment of cult level belief in corporatism and unregulated capitalism/exploitation/profiteering. Topped off with climate change denialism and humanity threatening destruction of our own fucking planet… Happy xmas.

The Conservatives & Johnson were compromised by Russian money & influence over years.

Reform obviously are.

Is Labour too? Could that be why Starmer won’t investigate?

Pleased to say, as an Engineer, I never learned the double space. I went straight to Word/Excel from pen and pencil, and relied on my own sense of right and wrong!

(And I don’t care how many “and”s are in that sentence).

Truth and facts should “trump” impartiality. Neutrality should be reserved to subjective matters, or opinions. Beyond that, we need a broadcaster to accurately INFORM!

The BBC has hidden behind “impartiality” to get round its obligation to inform. From climate change to Palestine to migrants to…

Mental. The "light of human consciousness" is more fragile, and will die quicker, on Mars than it ever will on earth.

We have a far, far better habitat for survival right here. Only an idiot would think Mars was a "lifeboat" for humanity...

Wrong conversation.

The honest conversation needs to be about wages and wealth inequality. Fix that and taxes will follow. If billionaires want to pay less tax make them earn less. Make the poor better off and they'll pay more tax.

Its fucking simple.
