Why is it that the rich keep growing richer and the poor poorer, yet the poor still vote for those the rich choose?
Because the rich shape the stories people hear, through media, adverts, politicians who speak like friends but legislate like financiers.
It’s persuasion layered over exhaustion.

The Orangegutan cult leader didn’t sleep last night.
He was wide awake, furiously tapping out tweets to rally his followers.
A dictator in decline, trying to shout over the crumbling echo of his own authority.

There’s a story that needs telling today, as I often do on Saturdays. In the cold Jerusalem air of 4 Nov 1995, he stepped off the stage of a peace rally and into the crosshairs of a fellow Israeli. He had just sung “Shir LaShalom”, a Song for Peace. Minutes later, he was dead.

The Orangeutan’s latest proposal on immigration is a system in which the undocumented are no longer even second-class citizens, but tools—kept, used, and discarded according to economic usefulness. Your right to exist depends not on your humanity, but on your utility.

There are actually quite a few undocumented Russians in the US.
Anyone have any videos of ICE forcefully deporting them?
Or just the brown people?

Frankly, Starmer’s speech came across as borderline xenophobic. Let’s be honest: if voters are looking for that kind of rhetoric, Farage has more credibility in that lane.

The step-up in anti-migrant rhetoric from the government is shameful and dangerous.
Migrants are our neighbours, friends and family.
To suggest that Britain risks becoming “an island of strangers” because of immigration mimics the scaremongering of the far-right.

We’l pay lower tariffs on products we barely export anyway. In return, we collect less tax on digital services and applies lower tariffs on American imports, which could negatively affect local production. Are we so stupid?
