Give more than you take. Apart from when you can’t. I think that’s about as much as I can distill it.

Now that Trump’s talking again, about the ‘assassination attempt’ that definitely wasn’t a political stunt. Can we discuss how miraculously his ear healed?

Donald Trump is a convicted sexual abuser. Is that because of his: A) ‘White’ Skin B) Christianity C) Business Career D) Wealth E) Nationality F) Scottish Heritage G) German Heritage H) Cognitive Impairment I) Gender What is to blame? What groups should we be marginalising? Nige? Tommy? Elon?

“One of the many cool things about empathy, is that it helps you be less of a cunt, for free!”   The pithy quote above is something I dumped on my social media accounts a while back. It served it’s purpose, making the point that empathy seems to be a virtue in increasingly short supply these days.

My Teach Secondary column this month is about research from MIND showing attitudes to mental health have regressed to 2009 levels (and partly inspired by a comment from a caller to my @lbc.co.uk show)…

More than 100 years after its initial review that blamed Black men, the Dept. of Justice just released its report on the 1921 Tulsa race massacre The report says the attack “was so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence”

Could $100m of Elon Musk’s money sway a general election for Reform UK?
Spending such a seemingly game-changing sum would face several hurdles and could even hinder the party’s chances Over the 2024 general election period, combined donations to every UK party totalled about £50m. If reports are to be believed, Elon Musk…

Imagine going to bed, wondering if tomorrow is the day you’ll die. Not knowing whether it’ll be a missile strike, snipers bullet, drone attack, or starvation that will end the suffering you have endured at the hands of the IDF and Netanyahu’s murderous coalition government… 1/2

The relentless, orderly, death machine that is the corporate world should have had a rude awakening last week. But no - ‘Nothing to see here’ But plenty of outrage and tut-tutting from the media about violence not being the answer. Fuck you, and your entitled complacency. It’s sociopathic.

Before Margaret Thatcher was elected, the very wealthy paid 83% taxes. She convinced poor people in the UK that the rich needed to pay less tax. So she lowered it to 60% telling them this will create more jobs and opportunities for the pool.

What is the point of being the world’s 6th largest economy when 24% of our population is living in poverty, and 1/3 of UK children are living in households classed as being in poverty? Even more telling is the fact that more than half of those households have at least one working adult in them 1/2

So, celebrity authors need a break do they? I’ll tell you who needs a break. The aspiring debut who’s spent literally thousands of hours honing their craft, only to be told their book doesn’t ‘fit the market’ or the risk-averse publishing world can’t see ‘where to place it’.

I have 1000 Mars bars in my fridge and my mate has 1. I pressure him in to giving his to a homeless person. This is how celebrity charity appeals work Especially in developed economies where the wealthy avoid/evade paying their taxes
