There is IMO something absolutely spot on about the British ruling class not at all recognising that smashing up the state to sell it for scrap and cocaine might be a problem, until it started to somewhat impede their ability to wage a really serious war.
I've spent a few weeks asking people if Britain is prepared for war, among other doom scenarios. The short answer is no and the condensed reason for why that happened is that we spent the last forty years stripping off and selling the most resilient systems in the country for parts.

Thanks so much everyone for a massive response. I've now had as many emails as I can cope with, so no more please - thank you. They paint a really grim and heatbreaking picture. The neglect and abuse of patients goes on and on. I hope to try to do the issue justice. #ME/CFS

Outside the US, the UK is Palantir's biggest market. 1 in 6 of its employees are based in the UK. As of 2026, Palantir holds £900m in government contracts, inc. £182m from the NHS, £375.8m of which have been awarded without competition. Concerned? Hell, yeah! #politicslive youtu.be/wcGDSsxvSI4?...

In May of 1940 there was a mass panic in Britain - stirred up by the tabloid press - about 'fighting aged men' who had come to Britain as 'refugees' posing a threat to the women and children of this country - and essentially forming a 'fifth column' that could, at any moment rise up against everyone

Everything is structural, and those structures are being continually reinforced and supported by a small group of weird guys that have a disproportionate amount of resources. That small group of guys know the structure is the only thing keeping them propped up at the top. Both are true and important

OTD in 1954 the Totskoye nuclear test took place in Russia. USSR detonated a nuke twice the size of Hiroshima & then marched 45,000 unprotected soldiers thru the blast area. Ofc we lied about it & suppressed the truth of the casualties. Imagine that today.

Burnham knew this would be the result of dropping his pledge to cap political donations, but he did it anyway. Labour are determined to midwife a Reform government, like plenty of other centrist parties before them whose weakness paved the way for right wing extremists.
