Growing up with a sister who has a learning disability, I’ve seen people shout the R word at her. That was in the 80s and 90s. Now we’re in the 2020s and I am seeing world leaders and tech leaders use it and I cannot begin to tell you how devastating that is.

Excited to see if the new political project of dreadful, failed backbench sack-of-dog food Tories who sold every shred of integrity they ever had to back Boris Johnson before he fucked them all over now all flooding to Reform to do the same for Nigel Farage will work for them this time

If you are lucky enough that a home you bought for 4K in the 70s is worth more than 2million, the value of the asset has increased by approx 50,000%
You should be taxed on that, at least a bit.

What do these corporations have in common?
Netflix

T-Mobile
Duke Energy

Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel
In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

You’ve seen the signs: ‘Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted’. They lie. In the UK ‘trespass’ is a civil offence, not a criminal one. You cannot face prosecution simply for being on someone’s land, off a designated Right of Way, open access land, or land where bylaws permit access, without permission.

So now we're driving a wedge between people who have very little and people who have even less.
It's always "people on benefits get too much", and never "people who already have everything want more".

Checking the results that long record unbeaten run coincides exactly with Pope going out injured
Considering Dubs was still our keeper for both Arsenal semi-finals he was probably unlucky that Pope got to play the final instead of him

the Brentford game last season that turned our season around (in December) was that when Nick Pope went off injured and Dubs came in for a long run of games? #NUFC
