You are entitled to your own opinion, NOT your own facts.
Misinformation is the greatest threat we face: it allows the powerful to manipulate the gullible into doing their bidding.
Turns out there are a lot of gullible people.

Can there be some kind of test next time? You know, basic literacy, ability to count to 20 without removing socks, not a rapist, not a bankrupt. That kind of thing.

Wealth has been repeatedly handed to the richest who then lock it away. As they accumulate an ever greater share of cash/assets, there is less for everyone else. Global economies can only escape from the doldrums by freeing up that trapped wealth. Tax the rich!!

Wealth is being accumulated and locked away by a few. This clearly leaves less (cash/assets) for everyone else. The problem is that they became so rich that they they bought the politicians and the media. They really don’t want workers to have rights so the propaganda slams unions.

The rise of UKIP mirrors deprivation within communities. Deprivation mirrors low educational attainment. Low educational attainment leads to a tendency to vote for right-wing ideology.
The poverty caused by Brexit, the banking crash and austerity makes the rise of the right much more likely. ⭕️

The same vacant expression which tells you he’s too dim to understand how dim he is, but also the same smirk, which tells you he’s knows being dim won’t matter because daddy’s rich.

How telling that the director of information at Russia’s ministry of foreign affairs stepped in to criticise Time’s image choice.
“Only sick people, people obsessed with malice and hatred –perhaps even perverts – could have chosen such a photo”, Maria Zakharova wrote on Telegram.

Talking of dodgy rich people, $100 million wired to the US president’s crypto account from a Middle Eastern country in return for agreeing $200 billion in commercial deals? Surely not? It would be all over the news, wouldn’t it?

We have excluded Prince Andrew from public life, sacked Mandelson and seized the assets of Russian leaders, yet here we are, giving an *unprecedented* SECOND state visit, with all the honours, to Epstein’s long-time friend and Putin’s dependable idiot. No excuse.

Trump is to end security programmes which protect European allies from Putin’s Russia.
Ending the longstanding program is expected to remove hundreds of millions of dollars that go to countries that border Russia.
Now, why would he do that?
