Threatened to ‘don khaki’ in the event of Brexit being frustrated.
Disseminated the racist lies of an alleged rapist & stayed silent as racists responded by setting fire to buildings full of foreigners.

Since privatisation England's water companies paid £88.4bn in dividends.

90% of water companies owned by foreign investors/govts.

90% of dividend not recirculated in the UK economy. No UK tax paid on dividends.

Public ownership would make a difference.
If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership
Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.

People need to understand that in Capitalism they don't care about you. They care about making a profit out of you.

That is why as it advances things don't get better, they get worse and more expensive and the only things that improve are their profits.

Thames Water to do fewer improvements under lenders' rescue plan.

More unplugged leaks, sewage in rivers.

Plan wants more cash from customers. No commitment on what shareholders will pay. No end to dividends.

Nationalisation is the only durable solution.

HMRC chasing £90m in taxes from temp staffing firm rescued from insolvency.

HMRC loses. It is a secondary preferential & unsecured creditor.

This article, which is great, reminded me of a quote from Red Dwarf that had a big impact on teenage me:

RIMMER: It's just that I'm ill at ease with the opposite sex.

LISTER: It's because you see them as some alien species that needs to be conquered with trickery. They're not - they're people.
OK so feeling slightly apprehensive about this, which I suppose is kind of the point. This is an attempt at a progressive view on masculinity and on men getting laid. God help me. iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-be-...

The right story narrative about male attractiveness is grounded in Social Darwinism and free market economics. Can progressives tell a better story?
