Up in court next week. I've decided to dispense with witnesses, evidence and facts and rather show the jury my ordinary bloke in a pub routine - sipping real ale I don't like while dressed as a farmer & standing on a sack of cash so the people can see me. Let the people decide.

How's Farage going to condemn racist, Muslin hating, invasion fearing bigots without alienating all his racist, Muslim hating, invasion fearing bigots. Tricky.

In the 60s & 70s Britain taxed the rich properly — ordinary people could buy homes. Now billionaires own the media, bankroll politicians, dodge taxes & hoard property. Housing crisis isn’t an accident, it’s what happens when the rich write the rules.

Farage's comments are stupid because they ignore decades of scientific studies disproving any link between paracetamol and autism, and falsely compare a well-studied medicine to the thalidomide disaster—spreading needless fear and conspiracy nonsense. Typical of the man.

Trump has shown that corruption, greed, and incompetence are tolerated or even celebrated by a huge portion of the American public—as long as they're given scapegoats to hate and the feeling that they're owning the libs. There will be others just as bad.

Goebbels Ends Careers of Five 'Aryan' Actors Who Made Witticisms About the Nazi Regime

Feb. 4, 1939

February 4, 1939, Page 1

BERLIN, Feb. 3.—Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels today ended the professional careers of five "Aryan" actors and cabaret announcers by expelling them from the Reich's Chamber of Culture on the grounds that “in their public appearances they displayed a lack of any positive attitude toward National Socialism and therewith caused grave annoyance in public and especially to party comrades.” The five include perhaps the best known German stage comedians who survived previous Chamber of Culture purges and still dared to indulge in political witticisms—namely, Werner Finck, Peter Sachse and “The Three Rulands,” represented by Helmuth Buth, Wilhelm Meissner and Manfred Dlugi. Their expulsion means that they are henceforth forbidden to appear before the public in Germany.

Besides motivating this action in an official communiqué, Dr. Goebbels also publishes a long article in the Voelkischer Beobachter in which he denounces them as “brazen, impertinent, arrogant and tactless" and generally imitators and successors to Jews. Simultaneously he denounces the "society rabble that followed them with thundering applause—parasitic scum, inhabiting our luxury streets, that seems to have only the task of proving with how little brains people can get along and even acquire money and prominence."

As regards the details of the "crimes" of which the five are accused, Dr. Goebbels mentions that they made political witticisms about the colonial problem, the Four-Year Plan and Chancellor Hitler's monumental building program and one of them even raised the question of whether there was any humor left in Germany today.

What amused the public most, however, and presumably roiled the National Socialist authorities most—although Dr. Goebbels does not mention it—is that they deftly, but unmistakably, caricatured some gestures, poses and physical characteristics of Nat…

Deeply cynical. Terms like 'disproportionate' highlight society’s effort to measure equity, not merely reflect envy. Justice isn’t about masking motives, but about creating standards for fairness beyond personal perspective, aiming for more inclusive and balanced outcomes.

Michael 🌱 Ⓥ @changedgear.bsky.social · 17/09/2025

While perceptions of fairness may be influenced by individual views, societies establish shared norms & legal frameworks as pure individualism often fails to address systemic inequalities. Assessing disproportionate resource accumulation is not rooted in envy, but in a collective pursuit of justice.

2023-2024 figures show 22% or 191,000 property transactions were for additional properties. But still right wingers blame people in dinghies crammed into hotels for the shortage of property. Billionaires spend a lot of money deflecting the blame

Framing concerns about housing policy and tax avoidance as mere jealousy is a way to dismiss legitimate debate. Critiquing systems that allow disproportionate accumulation and exploitation isn’t envy—it’s a call for fairness and social responsibility.

Six or more and you get the tax break. Favours the super rich who not only cause housing and other issues through asset acquisitions on a grand scale, but then fund far right politicians to spread the lie that the difficulties of the poor in society are caused by asylum seekers.

In 2018 Jeremy Hunt bought 7 flats in a single transaction, paying around £3.57 million for the lot. Buying 7 in one go avoided about £300,000 in stamp duty. If your kids can't find homes to buy near you, blame people like Hunt, not desperate people running for their lives.
