Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media.
Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are.
Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.

There is a serious failure in UK govt, politics & media to take sufficiently seriously what Musk said & meant with "fight back or die"
= Violence (interethnic civil war) is inevitable so pre-emptive violence - vs migrants, minorities & political opponents - is necessary to avoid existential erasure

Elon Musk spoke by video to Tommy Robinson's anti-immigrant rally in the UK today.

Severn Trent artificially inflates assets to pay dividends. More dividends paid than profits earned. We need to get these corporate ghouls out of what should be publicly owned assets. This has already happened to Thames. When the company is crippled by debt we pay.
