Spent this evening counter-protesting fascists outside an asylum hotel in Peterborough. Message from the refugees inside the hotel.

The message reads ‘ All love and respect to the people who stood with us and for the Palestinian cause’

We need to tax wealth not work. Why? Because usually no matter how hard you work, the compound interest on huge wealth grows much faster than your wages + the rich use this passive income to buy all the assets. Someone made a game to show this: therichdont.work
