Tony Benn’s 5 critical questions:
“What power have you got?
Where did you get it from?
In whose interests do you exercise it?
To whom are you accountable?
How do we get rid of you?
And if you can’t get rid of the people who govern you, you don’t live in a democratic system.”

The Slaughter of the Innocents.
The Christmas Story is no tinsel town. It is messy, humiliated, hungry, cold. It is a collective birth-death trauma for stateless people, under brutal occupation, with no escape.
It is Gaza.

See the way in Scotland we scrutinize footballing desicions. Imagine as an electorate we done the same with our politicians and their policies especially around poverty but not from a party perspective but a societal lens. Things would change and change quick.
