Britain has a patriotism problem. And it involves the very rich:
Ex-Prince Andrew passed confidential trade documents Epstein
Sir Jim Ratcliffe offshores his wealth to avoid paying billions in tax.
Peter Mandelson is investigated for passing market sensitive information to Epstein
Remember, while the powerful get us fighting each other we forget to focus on them.

"You should never overestimate the extent to which the BBC changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage, other far right extremists and the Tufton Street junktanks, while shutting out progressive voices."

Goosebumps! People often ask, is Shakespeare still relevant? Here is a great example, from the Steven Colbert Show, in which Sir Ian McKellen delivers an extraordinary speech. Shakespeare’s words are timeless, urgent and important.

Carole had done her homework and knew it years ago, but nobody wanted to listen.
She was always right.

Here is the Sun's pitifully small apology for its lie about benefits tourism - a lie that was accepted as truth by millions and helped deliver Brexit.
These lies are perverting our democracy. At a minimum, apologies should be published in the same location and size as the lie. – at Brighton, England

If the media stopped talking about immigration for 4-8 weeks, reform UK would plummet in the polls.
This is a media made crisis, which means it is a oligarch billionaire made crisis.
Don't let Musk and Murdoch manipulate our politics with their nasty divisive rhetoric.

What is it that people expect from deporting people?
Because it won't lower House prices or rents.
And it won't make food or energy cheaper.
There won't be more jobs and they certainly won't pay better.
At what point do you realise it is going to achieve nothing?

Another day another news blackout from most of our media on the story of a Farage ally in European Parliament and leader of his party in Wales taking bribes from Russia to spout their lies and BS … Nathan Gill should be a household name by now. But the media that gave you phone hacking and helped give you Brexit are making sure he remains under the radar in case it demands their new pal Nigel …

Daily Mail say today we need Farage and Reform to save the country. A reminder of the role the Mail played in getting us into this mess.

What utter dickheads we are…
Rayner fought for workers: sick pay, maternity rights, protection from unfair dismissal
Farage and his MPs voted it down
No sick pay from day one. No protections.
Rayner gets binned over £40k in stamp duty
Farage dodges £44k, shrugs & strolls on
Well done bellends, the ultra wealthy win again.
