The UK Government is unlikely to see most of the £148m it is owed by a faulty PPE supplier linked to Baroness Michelle Mone after the company was wound up.

Who saw that coming?

Energy prices are the same as they were in 2021, Energy Bills are still 40% higher than 2021 (Even after counting inflation).

You are being ripped off for £500 a year for nothing except their outrageous profits.

The NHS has problems because since the 1980s it has been slowly privatised.

Margaret Thatcher outsourced catering, cleaning and many other services

Labour and the Conservatives PFI schemes forced them to sell hospitals and rent them back.

It costs of tens of billions a year.

If you taxed every Billionaire in the UK so they only had £1bn you would get £1.1tn, an entire year’s worth of tax revenue.

It would affect only 173 People.

Tax the Rich, they’ve stolen all the money and dodged tax for decades.

It‘s time for payback.

In 1956 Rupert Murdoch first reported on the danger of Immigrants (Hungarians leaving the Soviet Union) in the Australian Sunday Times.

This video is completely correct.

£3bn a year has been taken from the NHS to give to US billionaires because Donald Trump demanded it, in return we get nothing.

And MPs don't even get a vote on it.

PPE Medpro has been liquidated but because it has only £0.6m only £0.6m of the £148m debt will be repaid.

A Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA), placed against Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman (worth £500m+) would allow all the money to be recovered.

Why hasn't it happened?

How does privatisation work, and who does it work for?

First billionaires give bribes to politicians, called donations

Then politicians say we need to privatise to 'save' money

Then they sell to the billionaires for peanuts and get kickbacks

Then they privatise something else

You have two types of Political Party in the UK.

"Lets tax the rich and make things better for everyone."

Or

"Lets blame Immigrants, Disabled People and Pensioners so we can get in a party who will make the billionaires even richer and things worse for everyone else."

If Paul Doyle had been an immigrant we would never hear the end of it, it would be used non-stop to demonise migrants

Because he is a Right Wing 'victim' we will keep being reminded he's a father and how it was just a 'moment of madness'.

They have been made unaffordable because they don't want you to be able to own your own home and live for 'free'.

Someone said to me, "Punishing the rich is not a solution.'

Well actually...

Who controls your wage?
Who controls Energy prices?
Who controls Food prices?
Who controls House prices and rent charges?

And how do you think we would punish them?

There's one fact I want people to learn today, Capitalism isn't money.

Money has existed for thousands of years, Capitalism only for about 500.

Capitalism is the structuring of society so that a handful of people own everything and everybody else has to pay them to use it.

The Water Companies should be taken into administration, and all their CEOs and upper management fired.

They have shown they cannot run Water Companies, nor can they be trusted with the Public's money.

Which it all is.

I will just point out the Doctors have asked for a maximum of £800m, that's for 71,000 doctors who run all the hospitals.

That's 'too expensive'.

But when the Water Companies asked for £5bn, they were given it.

Broken Britain, money for thieves, no money for you.

Good news:

Sodium-Ion batteries are now legitimate competition to Lithium-Ion ones. Environmental impact of creation is much better, as is potential cost of production at scale (look, it's based on salt).

Solar is fully ready, but storage has been an issue, and that might be getting solved.
