Building things to make the world better.
Cannot abide injustice.
Fights for what is right.
oh wow - I thought the Pensioners bit was good and then the obituary of Freedom of Expression ('Freezy' to their friends) was particularly brilliant.
RIP Freezy. We won't let the bastards win.

But if we can't have people leaving nature alone, they I think your son's video is a superbly clear message. Well done to him.

Why is anyone in the ocean swimming with manta rays?
Just get out of the water and let manta rays alone.
Tourism is never sustainable when we shouldn't be there in the first place.

and 'woke left' claims MAGA is not about diversity and inclusivity. They every nasty ideology and adherent going.

hang on , I thought it was 22 billion when they came into power, not it is 40bn. It's alway corporations innit.

Selective in what ways - do you have examples.
There is some selectivity implied in that not all rights are equal. e.g. your right to freely express yourself does not trump my right to life. I doubt anyone would argue with unequal outrage on those. I think the contrary is outrageous.

Most industries are freeloaders - they get reach and offset costs to the taxpayer or wrse - the environment.

All this so that people can keep buying their crap.

It is absolutely criminal , but we have to understand why it is so broken and what is allowing that behaviour to continue.

That is great to hear, my questions were not a dig, I know the privatised system is broken, just not sure how the nationalisation works in practice.
August 7, 2025 at 7:30 AM
I'm confused
August 6, 2025 at 11:47 AM
Yes.
And more than that, war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocides must face justice.

Impunity is worse than any nuclear weapon.
We are witnessing a genocide in Gaza right now with no nuclear weapon involved.

Impunity is the enemy.

Who runs it when nationalised?
What stops them wasting water, polluting rivers?
Why are those controls that aren't working now, going to magically work if nationalised?

Israel is systematically killing Israeli hostages.

Not in a 'you starve us, we'll starve them' sicko way, highly unlikely that Hamas is doing that. But in a 'you starve us, we have nothing to feed them way.'

that is *exactly* what these cretins what us to think. Please resist it. Sins of the father... are not the burden of the child.

The fact that the New Yorker is her father has zero to do with the issue at hand. We surely are smarter that they talk us to be.

You mean the guy that is NOT yet mayor but is being ragged about Crime and Chaos? This is because the actual mayor is so shit that they don't even expect him to do anything.

Fox news anchors echo the general stupidity of many Americans. And it is going to get worse.

and the reason they (US, UK, etc) do not recognise it is because occupation, colonisation and exploitation are entrenched in their own agenda and history. It's like criminals acknowledging the crimes of others but simultaneously incriminating themselves.
