The BBC is great. When it goes, which l think it will, it will be another Brexit moment for this country. Something we’ll bitterly regret.

“Badenoch says Archer was “a great communicator” and a “great storyteller”, and someone who believed in Conservatism.” He also spent two years, 2001-03, in prison for perjury.

No, it’s not ‘normal’ for humans to be in competition all the time. It’s not normal to work for most of your waking hours of the day. It’s not normal to be stressed 24/7. Stop taking a few hundred years of capitalism and pretending that’s just how being human is. It’s not.

John Pilger was a legend.
“The major western democracies are moving 
towards corporatism. Democracy has become 
a business plan,with a bottom line for every 
human activity,every dream, every decency, 
every hope.The main parliamentary parties 
are now devoted to the same economic 
policies – socialism for the rich, capitalism 
for the poor – and the same foreign policy of 
servility to endless war. This is not democracy. 
It is to politics what McDonalds is to food.”
