Nigel Farage wants to get rid of the NHS and replace it with US style insurance.

Can you afford $50,000 for a broken leg, $500,000 for a new heart, or $2,000,000 for cancer.

Or are you dying?

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

It's not immigration, it's billionaires.

Until the problem is tackled the UK CANNOT improve.

That is a fact and it is not going to change.

Department for Work and Pensions carrying out “aggressive and rapid” debt collection practices, severe than banks.

DWP doesn't negotiate, deducts overpayments from universal credit.

Govt taking powers to snoop on claimants' bank accounts, remove money.

Banks need to go through court process.
Martin Lewis’ charity says DWP is ‘more aggressive than banks’ in clawing back debt

Remember all that fulminating in the billionaire press about "free speech" (ie their freedom to abuse Muslims, trans people etc with impunity)? Now that people are being arrested for speaking about an issue of the utmost gravity, the self-appointed guardians of liberty have fallen strangely silent.
It's utterly mad.
These people are the opposite of terrorists.
THEY WANT PEACE.
The police know they're not terrorists.
The government knows they're not terrorists.
Yet, on the Home Secretary's orders, they're being arrested under the Terrorism Act.

Thames Water is now controlled by two US credit powerhouses: Silver Point Capital and Elliott Management.

Their game - asset stripping, profiteering, slick PR, devour; to get high returns.

Govt can put an end by bringing water into public ownership, but refuses. People's misery to deepen.
Thames Water: Britain's biggest utility just got captured by toxic private credit markets
No rescue. No reform. Just control - seized through debt. That's the state of Thames Water, as Waterways Protection writes

All won by direct action, not peaceful protest.
I hate to break it to people but protest has never changed anything, it is just ignored.

It is only direct action that has ever changed anything.

Conservative MP Ian Liddell-Grainger claimed on his expenses.

£1,887 iPad and case
£4,994.89 desktop
£849 on a 2nd iPad
£300 to set up a laptop

That's over £8,000 for a PC, 2 Ipads and a laptop.

We can't afford these benefits.
