NEW: Iran’s capital, Tehran, is now BURNING
110 cities across Iran have seen unrest and protests against the ruling regime in the last 12 days
The only thing more remarkable than the scale of this revolution is the negligence of mainstream media in covering it.
Scenes below in Tehran tonight.

Wealth in the UK is extremely concentrated at the top: over half belongs to the richest 10%, while the richest 1% control over a fifth by themselves. But the bottom half of the population – nearly 34 million people – have less than 1/20th between them. This is bad for all of us. It has to change.

Disgraceful! A patriotic flag shagger who dedicated his time to illegally putting up 64 flags is being charged £2,300 for the cost of taking them down. If it wasn't so funny I'd be furious.
