"Nigel Farage can call himself a populist all he likes. He's bastardising the word," Zack Polanski tells Lewis Goodall. "The real problem is a small elite group who own the media, who donate to political parties, who are trying to distract and divide" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/zack...

As the richest guy in the world, Musk could leave one hell of a legacy. He could solve world hunger or build Carnegie-like centres of knowledge. Be the kinda guy whose name lives on for all the right reasons Instead he's chosen to stoke race hate, wreck twitter and appoint himself Wanker of the Age

"Throughtopia not Utopia" 💥 What Zack Polanski is managing to do here is to talk seriously about the frustration, uncertainty and angst that we're all feeling inside us these days. And what's remarkable is that he seems to be the only party leader doing that right now!

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach. To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat. And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

A vote for Reform is not a vote for anything new, disruptive, or ground changing. It's not a vote for working class representation. It's a vote for Tories who left the Tory party because it wasn't cruel and nasty enough.

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.
"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?"
"Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

Trump Says Recession Unfortunate But Necessary Step To Get To Depression
WASHINGTON—Warning that Americans should brace themselves for an economic “period of transition,” President Donald Trump told reporters Monday that a recession would be an unfortunate but necessary step on the way to all-out depression. “Look, what we’re doing is very big and will cause some pain, but that pain is necessary to cause total economic […]

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer. Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer. We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is. It will never reach you.

If you’re drawn to a politician because they promise to be cruel to Muslims or Jews or immigrants or gays or transgender people etc, the least you should do - the absolute, bare bones, still morally vacuous least - is ask yourself whether they’re likely to stop at the group you want to see targeted.

“And yet, the demand to empathise with the boys and men propagating this hatred must surely be exceeded by a justified anger on behalf of the girls and women who are the actual subjects of said hatred. If anything, it is obscene that we women are not more furious and more frightened.”

Dunno about you, but even I can't listen to news about the US anymore. It's like having a friend who had been sober for 4 years and stopped getting into fights, and who'snow sitting under a bridge drinking meths and swearing at passers-by because he started listening to the voices again.

One good thing that might have come out of the current situation is that the less-radicalised-by-online-Russian-propaganda-than-we-thought British population will finally see Farage for what he is - by proxy of being a Tr*mp fanboy, P*tin’s puppet. He was never, EVER a ‘patriot’.
