kevindunn.bsky.social @kevindunn.bsky.social · 14/09/2026There is another solution to the whole thing – no donations, either to individuals or to parties, of any kind, ever. Literally any gift bigger than a KitKat would be not only declarable, but banned. Parties would survive solely on membership fees, or not at all. Take big money out of politics. 010

kevindunn.bsky.social @kevindunn.bsky.social · 08/09/2026If the government won't stamp on these new Blackshirts, hard, fast, and decisively, then we're already too far down the road to fascism, and ordinary decent people should be afraid. 0113
kevindunn.bsky.social @kevindunn.bsky.social · 07/09/2026It's "if the government, with all their resources, can't raise a finger against an organised gang of revolutionary fascist thugs, then what's the point of them"? 001
kevindunn.bsky.social @kevindunn.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Reform are of course sewer-dwelling vermin, but the one thing Labour could do to reduce the tax burden on the poorest people is to raise the income tax allowance. It's unjust that it's been frozen for years. 010
