The Companies Act of 1862.
Even at the time, WS Gilbert (hardly a "lefty") saw dishonesty & injustice, which he called out in "Utopia Limited".
Nothing's change much since then (1/2).

Not sure where Putin fits in that analogy.
Perhaps he is the one who makes the barrel organs!

The BBC still use this technique in their political programmes!

Time to repost the Coutt's Dossier, never revealed by the BBC, which was all about his links with Putin, and certainly nothing to do with the "woke banks"(🤣🤣) narrative that the BBC slavishly ran with:

Pretty much the same point that this film made:

4 days behind, so I'll catch up in one post:

Fascinating video link.
I remember as a kid seeing how The Plough, as seen from Earth, changes shape over 100,000 years.
Of course, the constellations we see today haven't changed much since the Ancient Egyptians & Greeks first recorded them:

I've just found a link between the presenter known as "Ant" and the presenter known as "Dec". Apparently they were on TV at the time when Starmer was DPP.
The whole thing stinks of corruption!!

The last straw for me, was the interview where he pretended to smoke a cigarette whilst challenging the ban on smoking in pub gardens.
He never even inhaled!!
He looked like a 12 year-old puffing smoke straight out of his mouth, trying to look like a grown-up!!

It's been pretty obvious since the Coutts' Report.
MSM went with Farage's spin of "woke banks" (whatever that means!?).
The actual report, all about Putin & antisemitism, never got reported.
I doubt many have seen this:

If only someone had called him out about this; a major bank, perhaps:

I hope you're satisfied Ina, but here is my answer to your conundrum. It's what we retire teachers do after 8 cans of San Miguel:

Reminds me a bit of this programme:

He has a long way to go.
BlueSky's spell check underlines Clacton, but not Clapton.
I doubt if Fromage could tell the difference anyway:

I've seen that guy on a banknote somewhere before:

It's an accurate portrait.
