UK govt admits that England's water industry is controlled by criminals. All water companies have criminal convictions. Their licence to operate not cancelled. Still allowed to fleece captive customers, dump sewage in rivers, create health hazards, extract cash, enrich shareholders.

Thoughts and prayers don’t stop mass shootings, and they don’t stop climate disasters either. This is a tragedy Gov. Greg Abbott did nothing to prevent. He still denies that climate change is real. He won’t act, and he won’t regulate.

Be not afraid The UK’s GDP is 50% bigger than Russia’s and GDP per capita three times as great (as with most EU countries). The economic power of the EU alone (without the UK) is EIGHT times larger than Russia. The EU is a superpower. Russia is not. And should not be treated like one

I'm on the left on most issues, but the way that Nayib Bukele has dealt with organized crime is absolutely exemplary and should be adopted all over the world. I simply cannot fathom people crying over the human rights of criminal gang members who have committed the most horrific crimes.
