kind of funny there are prob 1,000 major US musicians and every time conservatives need to put up a music artist to counter a mainstream narrative, they put up kid rock. "ok here's kid rock again" for the next 30 years, an octogenarian man in jean shorts rapping something from the 1990s

Was reading George Orwell on the Spanish civil war last night and this part stuck out.

One feature of the Nazi conquest of France was the astonishing defections among the intelligentsia, including some of the left-wing political intelligentsia. The intelligentsia are the people who squeal loudest against Fascism, and yet a respectable proportion of them collapse into defeatism when the pinch comes. They are far-sighted enough to see the odds against them, and moreover they can be bribed—for it is evident that the Nazis think it worth while to bribe the intellectuals.

Blimey, this is big. Reform UK is already effectively receiving foreign donations. Via Private Eye

According to Reform UK's election manifesto, the UK is "ruled by an out-of-touch political class who have turned their backs on our country". So it's heartening that one of the party's latest big donations comes from a patriotic British businesswoman who lives in, er, Monaco.

On 5 December, the Electoral Commission released donation figures covering the third quarter of 2024. Hepburn Bio Care UK Ltd, a small company based in Southampton, gave Reform £20,000 – its third largest donation that quarter. Hepburn Bio Care is owned by founder Margaret Hepburn, a Brit who has lived in the tax haven since at least 2005.

The firm makes "environmentally friendly" cleaning products for cruise liners, including major operators like Carnival, and describes itself as a "multimillion dollar company". However, the UK branch which donated to Reform is listed as a "Small Company" that only publishes "filleted abridged" accounts and shows a small annual profit of £12,000 in the latest (2023) accounts – less than the sum it gave Reform.

Hepburn Bio Care does have branches in Monaco, Dubai and Florida, so it is possible the multimillions of dollars are in their accounts. It also supplies products to the "superyacht industry", suggesting Reform is not just a party for the have-nots, but the have-yachts too.

The article appears to be highlighting what it sees as irony in a political party that claims to represent people against an "out-of-touch political class" receiving significant donations from a Monaco-based businesswoman whose company provides services to luxury industries like cruise ships and superyachts.
