I asked ChatGPT “Looking at the USA since 1900 compared to other developed nations how much impact on crime do you think inequality and gun ownership has had?” It was an interesting response. Have a go yourself in the AI app of your choice 😀

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

In addition to His Majesty, foreign billionaires from Italian Counts to the Dubai royal family now own vast stretches of Norfolk farmland. Local farmers are being priced out as land becomes a luxury asset, not a livelihood.

Our NHS is not for sale. With Trump ramping up his trade wars trade talks must not open the door to US healthcare companies profiting from our NHS. Keir Starmer must protect our NHS by keeping it off the table during negotiations. Agree? Add your name: 38d.gs/april_bsky
Don't sell our NHS for a trade deal with Trump

"My colleague Pecksniff recently asked the question:

‘Why, in one of the ten richest countries in the world, do we feel so poor. Where did the money go?’

The answer is easy: it went to the rich.

But that is only the beginning of the issue. How did it happen, and what do we want to do about it?"
Taxing wealth is better than a wealth tax
Inequality of wealth matters more than inequality of income. We should tax the rich more. But a blanket wealth tax is not the solution.

An image is being shared online with claims it shows a man who came to the UK by boat and is taking the government to court over his housing.

But it’s actually a 2016 stock photo from Malaysia. We’ve found no evidence of such a legal challenge.
