It's not pensions you can't afford. It's not immigrants. It's not Disabled People. Or University educations. Or Healthcare. Or Housing. It's billionaires you can't afford, they are stealing all of this and much more.

WTF is Michael Gove popping up everywhere on TV tonight to give his views on the Labour Party Conference? And being treated with far more deference than he deserves.

If all boat crossings were stopped the overall effect on immigration would be small, and there would be no discernible reduction in violence against women. Inconvenient for these numbskulls but true. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Why does the hard right have such a high tolerance for domestic abusers in their midst?
The ‘stop the boats’ narrative is increasingly presented as if it stems from a concern for women’s safety. This is just the laundering of thuggery

We’re all going to die eventually. That’s why cringe is the most dead thing in existence. It holds you back from being the person you’re meant to be. Being punished for being a badass is better than being safe, silent and alone. As Dolly Parton said, “Find out who you are. Then do it on purpose.”

Stark. A satirical novel published in 1989 by Ben Elton. It’s about a bunch of ultra wealthy individuals who having polluted the planet through their greed and ignorance hatch a daring plan to leave earth and set up a new community on another planet. Remarkably prescient (very funny too).
