Lancastrian living in England's Border Country, Left of Centre, Anti-Brexit, don't read enough books these days, 80s/90s music and 70s films still the best.

A few facts about Water Nationalisation. 1. We don't need to pay for it. 2. We don't need to pay THEIR debts. 3. They don't invest anything, that is YOUR money that they steal almost all of, then the tiny bit they don't is 'investment'. Freeze bills, fine them. Nationalise for free.

And PAGER is up. Very likely more than 1,000 dead from this earthquake and likely in the 10,000 range. Damage estimates in the $10+ billion range, 2% to 20% of Venezuela's GDP. Shit.

Ok you guys. Here’s the deal. The M7.1 in Venezuela was upgraded to a M7.2. AND it was followed shortly by a M7.5. Not good.

Trump calls for sending federal troops into cities: "I'd love to do Chicago because Chicago is potentially great city. But you're gonna lose it. It's gotta be done. I'd love to do it in Los Angeles. I'd love to do it in NYC. We remove the bad people from those cities so they never come back"

Grim timing yesterday as news of the Met Office Red alert flashed up on phones right in the middle of a big event about new Met Office forecasts for June 2056, showing potential peak temperatures of 45C in England. Stopping the CO2 emissions driving this is essential, but we also need to prepare.
View from the back of the audience shoeing a huge weather map with the forecast for June 2056, and people standing on stage in front of it.

If we had a media that covered Trump as he really is rather than constantly try to get 5 minute phone interviews with him, there would be stories everywhere about POTUS attacking the Pope for meeting with the duly elected mayor of Chicago. His pettinesses would be on the news nightly, not sometimes

Exactly 5 minutes BEFORE Trump announced a 5-day delay in bombing Iranian power plants, someone purchased $1.5 billion worth of S&P futures in a single trade. Someone also sold $192 million in oil futures. Trump and/or his cronies are engaging in market manipulation and insider trading.

Here comes the video analysis: - Pretti was shot 10 times after they took his gun - He never "brandished" the gun, assaulted an agent - They repeatedly pepper sprayed him at point blank range and beat him when he was down - He was attempting to help a woman who an agent threw to the ground (battery)
