Having bought the US election, Musk now wants to buy ours. This ketamine-infused menace thinks global domination is his to buy.
And Farage is grasping for his money.These repulsive men weaponise prejudice for power. They feed off ignorance, resentment and inadequacy.
If they succeed, we have failed.

V sick of being force fed Tory ugliness. Even with a Labour govt, the rightwing media, culture war and prejudices still dominate our national debate, drag govt into their space, drown out liberal voices and stop us scrutinising the toxic shittery of their ideologies.

I remember during the Brexit referendum that leading Brexiteers *insisted* that they were not isolationists and little Englanders.
They *were* team players, but it was just the EU was wrong.
But then they wanted out of Single Market… then ECHR…
…and now UN and ICC too.
They are not team players.

More Austerity on its way, because of Brexit.
Labour need to be honest about just how damaging Brexit is, perhaps then people would be more willing to change it.
That people voted Brexit because the didn’t like austerity is about as ironic as it gets.
