🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Burnham: "I will not allow it to continue like this. Today I can confirm Angela Eagle will present a strengthened water bill to Parliament. The center piece of that bill will be this. The repeal of Margaret Thatcher's ideological ban on public ownership of water companies."

Privitisation is a primary income source for corrupt conservatives all over the world. Whenever Labor/Democratic parties assume power, this should be first order of business. Unwind all corrupt contracts and heavily fine parties involved in malfeasance in public office. Make them find real jobs.

“The British right talk about taking back control. Never let them forget. They are the ones that gave it away in the first place.” Andy Burnham’s conference speech: public ownership of water, VAT off electricity bills, an apology to care workers and a pledge on Palestine.

Hopefully all Australians are finally noticing the real, clear and present threat from within is fascist Zionism. Their propaganda divides the country based on race, religion, colour and gender while they have usurped our democracy and sovereignty. We ignore it at our own peril #auspol

In Queensland to this day, you will be arrested for saying "river to sea, Palestine will be free". Those saying the phrase get a 2 year jail term. In NSW, the police will bash you if you don't like the president. Of Israel. So it's not much better in Australia than the UK.

People talk of "so-called" religious people as if they were ever to be trusted, as if being religious wasn't always a declaration of ignorance & delusion, it was never a good thing, even when it just lay dormant, not actually hurting people

Crisafulli cancelled the Gold Coast Airport Light Rail in the same week he let Adani off the hook for paying any royalties or tax. So the money to build the next stage of the light rail was instead transferred into Adani's pockets.
