What would have happened in South Africa if Mandela had died in 1990? - Jon Elkon
I am delighted to inform you that my latest novel AZANIA FAREWELL is (likely to be) published before the end of the year. This is big stuff. You may have read two thirds of this book already if you’ve...

#Conservatives your ideology has failed. Small government low regulation leads to exploitation of consumers by greedy corporations. ‘Trickle down’ is a fantasy. You want to save money by destroying nature and the environment. You are toxic and must go away now. Your time is over.

The flaw in democracy is the majority always want lower taxes and better services ie more expenditure. Those with wealth and power exploit the people and export their wealth. We need a Universal Wealth Tax!

America’s Official Idiot spends time on renaming things which time should be used to stop the wars he started. We in UK are about to have a 16% rise in energy prices. We hate him.

Your Constitution has mechanisms. The Midterms are your opportunity. If you mess this up, the USA becomes the greatest threat to the whole world since the Nazis. That’s no exaggeration.

Trump will go down in history as the idiot-in chief who wrecked world economies with his stupid war and moronic tariffs. The people who voted for him will all deny they ever gave him their trust and adulation. Just like post Nazi Germans.

Wake up UK! The Posherati are having another go at taking over the country. They failed with Mosley so they’re trying again with this shower. We defeated them in 1945 and must do so again

Uber just announced it will lay off 10% of its workforce, or around 3,300 workers. Last year, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi made $35M — 360 times his median employee's pay — and announced a $20B stock buyback program to further enrich shareholders and himself. Textbook corporate greed.

Can anyone tell me why the American people are so paralyzed, impotent, or just stupid? Who doesn't understand our government is a crime syndicate? Who doesn't understand the law is dead? Who doesn't understand fascism is here and it's going to get worse? The American people are flaccid. Why?

How the Roman emperors kept the population in check? ‘Bread and Circuses’ bud! (Juvenal c 100AD). Trump’s MMA fest (gladiatorial games), the Washington Formula 1 circus etc.what about bread? The a-hole fails to notice that Climate Change caused the greatest drought for years.

Reform lie when they say crime has increased. It has decreased since the 90s by around 80%. Listen to this morning’s episode of The Great Crime Mystery on BBC Radio 4 on BBC Sounds or Bbc Radio 4 website

For the first time in US history, America betrays South Korea, one of our closest allies for over 75 years. These exercises in various forms have taken place every year since 1974.

He has my sympathy for losing his job for believing in his Boss’ alleged words. However, believing in virgin birth, raising the dead, etc does show gullibility.

America’s Official Moron has offered the Saudis nuclear weapons. The Saudis! Religious extremists (Wahhabi) as crazy as the Iranians, as harsh against human rights, who have murdered at least one foreign journalist. The Official Moron is the most dangerous idiot in the world.
