Thanks for being with us for 3 years of Gairglo words! The website costs ~£50/month for servers, domain etc but we were always against ads and we have never received any funding, so we're kindly asking for donations to keep the website running. Diolch! paypal.com/donate/?hosted_bu…

There is going to come an inevitable point where the West will have no choice but to cut its consumption significantly or suffer severe shocks to how society even functions and I fear all its nations are just going to sleepwalk into the latter.
Replying to @jasonhickel
First, a crucial point. Workers in the global South contribute 90% of the labour that powers the world economy, and 91% of labour for international trade. The South provides the majority of the world's labour in all sectors (including 93% of global manufacturing labour).

It's almost like the Left can beat the far-right if it isn't sabotaged by its own party.

The BBC: The far right are making gains in Europe. Should we be worried? Also the BBC: Here's Nigel Farage for the 45th time this week explaining why refugees want to come over here & fuck your cat

Now extrapolate this to every single privatised entity in the UK
I couldn’t quite belief this when I read it. Our water industry has effectively stolen from all of us, with full permission from our government…. Here’s the full quote from the @FT

But they do: collectively universities lose £1bn a year teaching home students and £5 bn a year on research which is not fully funded. The business model is a result of political decisions over a decade of frozen funding for UK students.
Replying to @RobertJenrick
If these universities are selling good quality education to students they have nothing to fear by the graduate route being scrapped. However if their business model is premised on the ability to work in the U.K. with no minimum salary requirements, then that needs to change.
