The number one threat to the West is crony capitalism. Number two is Christian nationalism. Number three is low literacy (the USA is currently 128th in literacy). Shall I go on?

Why Britain should tremble.
I was about to add Thatcher.
That's exactly what they tech bros are relying on as they grow ever more powerful.
Almost 60 years later, this song is so relevant again. youtu.be/gp5JCrSXkJY?...

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
Few pics from Brighton Mod Weekender gig! Thanks to Dammo for these. Next gig is this weekend and we’re off to Berlin for Berlin Beat Invasion. Our first time in Germany!
Let's put our trust in Tik Tok and X then shall we? Fucking, warped moron.
Other half prefers the US Kaleiderscope.😆
The British political and media class out of intellectual ordinariness and laziness will spend the next few years ‘debating’ the ECHR rather than deal with things like structural economic issues, Britain’s place in the world, and environmental destruction. I’m sorry, but not a serious country.
Adorable 😍
Congratulations SB! My copy was delivered this morning x
No- I'd say this driver is socially aware- 1984 and all that! There was a fab doc on BBC about the annual convention recently. Be seeing you!
Interesting! Love North Wales.
Nice! We usually end up at Cobb Records in Porthmadog. This find has been added 😅
The other half has this but wants to know which little Welsh town you found it in.
What a sad excuse of a human being. Pathetic.

Labour. There was no alternative.
Where will all the planes land exactly?
Money from aristocrats, tech bros, and EU funding are all being channelled into an assault on rights across Europe – advanced by Americans and benefiting Russia. It is a dedicated campaign with long-term implications. Katherine Stewart reports.
Probation should breach her.
Bang on
🤣

America- your President is systematically dismantling your democracy piece by piece. When it's gone, it's gone.
Yes- he made that very clear. The USA has been subject to a coup.
Is this the 'brown shirt'?
I never you were a lecturer, Fesshole. I'm so glad to find you on BS. Missed you.
IF IT'S REAl, it's a bit rich given what she must have witnessed at Epstein's parties and on his jet. Why would you write to a psychopath about love, innocence, and humanity 🤣
Wait until they all find out that there is no fucking god!
It is one of life's great mysteries! I have at least 10 who went in as a pair but came out single 😅
The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
Says it all.
1984 is here. Be afraid.
The film Deliverance comes to mind for some reason.
Cod almighty- Brexshit is the gift that keeps on giving.

It prompts me to question whether the suffragettes would be a proscribed organisation under TA.
Also needs A-Gs consent so the decision to charge is politically charged!
It's s13 TA- summary- only. So can't elect trial by jury.
Indeed. I'm not sure which section of the Terrorism Act they may be charged under. If it's an either-way offence and they all elect jury trial....😅 It is ironic to think Sir Kier used to be a leading human rights barrister. Suspect CPS will say not in public interest to charge.
A golden Birthday!
Intrigued!

Thank you x
It works
Love this, David!
USA democracy is very deeply flawed. You can't have a democracy without separation of powers.
Lol from a Stokie. 😅
Maxwell's father, Robert (Bob), was a very powerful, nefarious monster- a tycoon, who when the heat was on him, mysteriously fell overboard on his yacht The Lady Ghislane and drowned. Convenient.
For thousands of years, we have been parasitised, exploited and destroyed by elites. Our survival depends on overthrowing them. Fascinating article by @dpcarrington.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...
He's the ultimate grandiose narcissist. I don't think America will ever recover.
What the cult leader says must be true.
He thinks he's King Midas.
The Telegraph is a moral failure.
So true!

I was there on my Birthday with my daughter. Incredible memories. Immense pride for my country. Best Birthday Party, ever!
If it's a private visit, WTF are we paying for it?
It will if they keep asking the question.
It would be blatant corruption at the very highest level. Is this the example you want to set USA?
What's the marriage rate
Except we can all see the truth. It reminds me of the Wizard of Oz when the curtain gets pulled back.
Why tech billionaires want a dictatorship — & why most of Silicon Valley will quietly watch democracy burn. My talk with @jonfortt.bsky.social (my DePauw classmate) about the dangerous coalition between the far right & the tech right. On @theverge.com's Decoder www.theverge.com/decoder-podc...
Off with his head
He was a successful barrister and former DPP. His parents were from a humble background. His wife works for the NHS. I'd say he is comfortably well off due to hard work and public service. He grafted.
Starmer isn't a rich politician.
They did delay my train to Manchester the other day. Sheep on the line. Trespassers. 🤣
She has a heart of glass.
You don't need 'the files' - you have the women and their testimony.
🤮
He's on with Laura again tomorrow.
The Epstein hoax is giving me Dallas vibes.
Risky. They will be doing a heck of a lot of modelling and polling before then. It would be a seismic change for us, but the current system isn't democracy at its best.
Give them time- I think they will seriously look at PR if Reform Doomsday is likely to be a reality in 4 years time. It's the only way democracy will be saved.
We are being colonised but not by immigrants.
She was recruited at Mar A Loco. I hope she has found peace in death. She never got any of it when she was alive. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Heroic. The cult of personality is a very powerful barrier to rational thinking.
Macron: "He's a very clever cat" Merci monsieur le président x
Oh la, la!
Ask AI!
Phoenix nights -one of the best!
I realise that- it's sad so many fall for the manipulation of the rich, corrupt, and powerful.
If there's no Epstein client list, then presumably Ghislane Maxwell is wrongly convicted? 😅🤣🤣
You did vote him back in....
Wow- this is good
Mad, bad and bloody dangerous.
The US has been hijacked by a bunch of mad men. It's so sad to witness.
Will it be recorded so we can watch, over the pond?
Why do they confuse socialism with communism?
We are souled out to Big Tech.
Follow the money
I wish these old rockers would piss off.
Reform’s Britannia Card is a great idea… So good, we made an advert for it. Target audience: Not you.
Tax the super rich.
So true!!
