You are entitled to your own opinion, NOT your own facts. Misinformation is the greatest threat we face: it allows the powerful to manipulate the gullible into doing their bidding. Turns out there are a lot of gullible people.

For 14yrs, the Tories cratered our economy, added thousands to our cost of living, melted down public services and brexited us into decades of eye-watering expense and lost opportunity. That’s still their plan. With tax breaks for the super rich paid for by welfare cuts. So what TF is this headline?

Most of the world's executions are carried out by a small number of nations: • China • Iran • Saudi Arabia • Iraq •Yemen •North Korea and the United States Most countries do not carry out executions. Live streaming is not usual. Don’t have words really.

This is what ISIS does because ISIS is a terrorist organisation without morals and without regulation. Is America so lost that its citizens want to watch its enemies being shot dead on live television?

Warner Brothers gave us classics such as Casablanca and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Paramount gave us The Godfather, Chinatown and Breakfast at Tiffany’s. David Ellison’s “Skydance” opens with Matchbox, the movie - “a synthetic slab of corporate product.”

A naked, gold-covered Trump statue has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg. It’s called “Orange Plague,” also known as “King of Injustice,” and shows him sitting on another man’s shoulders holding an enormous golf club. Covered in reportedly 23-karat gold, of course.

The *manifesto* is supposed to represent the agreed policies and aims of a party. If the party then alters its entire focus, ignoring the public manifesto, then members and voters are entitled to be extremely “disappointed.” Like Corbyn suddenly embracing privatisation, for example.

Set out well-considered, costed policies, then let members vote. Then the party maintains its core principles and there’s no opportunity for outsiders to hijack the agenda and disenfranchise the core membership. Entirely democratic.

Seems that the person who drafted the Green party motion came via Your Party and joined - by her own admission - to press this simply because the Greens had a bigger platform. Classic bit of entryism which now threatens the future of the movement.

Begin by releasing the Epstein files. This avoids making Trump a “victim” and shows him for the perp that he is. Next, go after his and the family’s financial records. Then move to stop rich people buying politicians (which is called corruption in most countries).
