This, from It Can't Happen Here, by Sinclair Lewis, shows just how little times have changed since it was written in 1935. A recommended read.
Extract from It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis, about wealth inequality in the US... written in 1935.

So very moving. I didn't think I liked Shakespeare... maybe I ought to give him another try. But I can't see the moronic Reform/Restore/Patriot supporters appreciating this. They're too comfortable with their "get brown people out" mindset.

The 'good news story' we ALL want today... and every day henceforth. May the odious little sh*ts in Reform (and ANY far right scumbags of whichever political party) never realise a position of authority.

Imagine sitting on a bench in a park in Blackpool, England, just minding your own business. Two men walk up to you and demand you move along. They claim 'women & kids are scared of immigrants'. The young man who at first doesn't understand what they're saying, is shocked to think they mean him.

Are you watching, UK supermarkets? I'm of an age where the village convenience store staff asked what you wanted and then collected and packed it for you. They didn't stock 383 different cereals, like Tesco does now, but WE DIDN'T WANT that level of choice. I prefer human interaction over snanners

It's not just that we had two wasted years under Keir Starmer - years in which, with a vast majority and quite a lot of goodwill - he could have turned this country around. On crucial issues, we had two years of spiralling backwards, towards a very dark place. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
