🚨MAJOR LIE: Trump claims that Obama & Comey “made up” the Epstein files.
FACT CHECK: The first federal Epstein probe was under George W. Bush.
The second was July 2019 UNDER TRUMP.
Obama had ZERO to do with it. Share to expose Trump’s lies!

Reform UK is proposing a "Britannia card" that would let wealthy foreigners pay a £250k fee to move to the UK, and live here exempt from all tax on their foreign assets
What they don't say: it would cost the UK £34bn

UK approach to bank frauds.
HSBC fined $1.9bn in the US for money laundering. UK Chancellor Osborne, regulators protected it. No investigation.
£1bn HBOS frauds: FCA/SFO passed the buck to LLoyds Bank. Promised report in 2018. None published. No inquiry.
Corporate crime facilitated by the state.

Why the UK is a two-tier society where money wields power
Laws and policies are crafted to give the appearance of sternness and fairness, but are rarely fully enforced on corporations and the rich.

Given that it has stated its aim of growing the UK economy, we think the Government needs to quantify the effects of exiting the European Union as soon as possible by setting up an inquiry.

UK MPs receive annual salary of £91,346 + expenses.
Worker median annual wage is £29,664.
Too many MPs take second Jobs, advance the interests of their corporate paymasters.
People's welfare is secondary to self enrichment.
Must ban all second jobs for MPs.

Whatever happened to the ‘rule of law’ in the UK?
Even if people can get access to the courts, at best they will get an interpretation of law, not justice.
