Welcome to Bluesky. We have rules here.
1) Be welcome
2) Be kind, you don't know what others are dealing with.
3) Don't pick fights. You won't win and the safety protocols here are much stronger than other places.
4) Never piss in the well you drink from.

![Andy Field, 61, an NHS doctor who said he
knew Farage well because they took the
same train to school, has similarly clear
memories.
"When I became a prefect, he [Farage] said,
Tll show you how to do it,' claimed Field,.
"He took me for a walk up to the lower
school playground, where all the children
from about nine years old to 12 would be.
And he singled out, completely at random, a
kid of Asian extraction, and just put him in
detention for no reason whatsoever. I was
flabbergasted, absolutely stunned. I was just
disgusted, really. No rhyme or reason, just
purely based on the colour of his skin.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5mqpgxjffcckasqv7h6g7itu/bafkreifwa2hlzevsllsekm44ne6yprkgrfhwryxxclupy3cz2qqj42sxma@jpeg)

ICEstapo detained 81 people in Charlotte, NC yesterday.
The internet is littered with videos of them using excessive force and ignoring legal documentation provided by the detainees.
Here’s my advice for ICEstapo:
Take a night off.
Go to the movies.
Watch “Nuremberg”.
Your time is coming.

The fact that two tier Keir likes low taxes for billionaires and very high taxes for nurses and police officers and wants refugee assets to be confiscated to pay for the billionaire tax cuts (billionaires who are proven friends of Jeffrey Epstein) and you can see that Keir Starmer is rather evil.

Even if the proposals are just red meat for Sun readers that will disappear, it's not OK. It's the gov telling everyone that state mugging of new arrivals is a policy that it's acceptable for reasonable mainstream people to consider - normalising Reform-type policies and shifting the Overton Window.

It's not Trump.
This is worse than WWII because it degrades and divides the democratic nations.
This is the result of extreme capital and Trump is merely a symptom.
when 100 people own half the wealth of the entire humanity, there is a big problem.

Private Equity is an incurable cancer
Private equity firm Sycamore Partners bought Walgreens.
Now Walgreens has stopped giving most workers paid vacation on Thanksgiving, Christmas and other major holidays.
Private equity takeovers are a disaster for workers, and customers.
