Urgent: stop the whale butcher
The Icelandic multimillionaire is back in business and could kill up to 150 whales in the next few weeks

5% of your food bill IS profits for billionaires. 40% of your Energy and Fuel bills are profits for billionaires. 60% of your Rent is profit. 20% of your Mortgage is profit for billionaires. 40% of your wage is taken as profit for billionaires. This is what they are costing YOU

Reform intended to slash council tax, fix potholes, and cut council waste Reform raised taxes in every council it holds/shares power. Potholes continue to cause accidents and damage, Promised savings have put local services at risk of closure.

“If you criticise Palantir’s platform one more time, you are going to lose your job.” Solidarity to all NHS workers opposing this toxic corporation. Shame on those bullying them. But they won’t stop us. We’re going to ditch Palantir. www.ft.com/content/ff70...

For those who don’t already: Take time to listen to music and do nothing else. Don’t scroll your phone, don’t text, don’t flip through a book. Just sit there and listen. Maybe even close your eyes. You might be surprised what a beautiful and therapeutic experience it can be.

It has been this way since time immemorial. Spending a billion a day on a ‘not’ war. Meanwhile, all you suckers can starve, die because you can’t afford healthcare or find new treatments for disease. And who the fuck needs education and arts? We aren’t mad enough!!
Several tables are set with individuals behind them waiting to be served. The tables have signs — Education, Sciences, Arts, Healthcare… no one is serving them. All of the servers are delivering piles of money to the table where WAR is sitting.
Political cartoon is from the 1950s
Nothing has changed.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

In Wales, Black Friday is referred to as Dydd Gwener y Gwario Gwirion, which translates to Silly Spending Friday. Wales is right.

Grenfell, Post Office,infected blood, Hillsborough. Britain has witnessed a long series of injustices where walls of silence & lies have stopped the powerless inconveniencing the powerful by telling their whole truths. To that list add UK’s nuclear testing scandal www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
