@nluewmist / I’m finally reading Dune. This quote which in the first few pages hit hard; “once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only let other men with machines to enslave them.”

It is the source of so many of our evils: the astonishing concentration of wealth in the hands of a very few, and the immense political power that gives them. We cannot solve our problems until we tackle it. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

At the root of all our problems stands one travesty: politicians’ surrender to the super-rich | George Monbiot
There are many excuses for failing to tax the ultra-wealthy. The truth is that governments don’t tackle the problem because they don’t want to, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The three remaining hunger strikers have been convicted of nothing. Yet with astonishing cruelty, ministers refuse to listen to their reasonable demands, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Starmer is supposed to be a lawyer. Which bit of international law does kidnapping a head of state from inside their own country by another state fall under? Does this mean Iran can now kidnap Netanyahu without consequence? Or Putin kidnap Zelenskyy? Because this is what Starmer is condoning here.

Do you remember when Corbyn became leader of the Labour Party, and said he wanted to tax wealth and make lives better for ordinary people and the LP became the largest party in Europe by membership? And then the media and agents from within the L P worked tirelessly to destroy Corbyn and any hope of change? 
Now I see Zack Polanski doing the same with the Green Party - only this time his party is standing with him.
It's almost as if people want hope and a better life for everyone, instead of a subsistence in a capitalist hate filled hellscape.

No matter what you do, the far right will always want the next cruelty, and their torch-bearers in the press will attack you for not delivering it. All while priming voters to conceive of far right concerns as newly moderate. Again, this has happened in every single place this has ever been tried.
You’ve driven away your traditional base, while sanitising the racism of the far right for low information voters, who now consider them more reasonable. 
You have moved the sensible middle position toward the far right — where you now stand, boxed in, by the ghouls you’ve just baptised as moderates.
And the slide continues. Because you cannot placate these people. You cannot reach an end. 
Round up every refugee in camps and they’ll want the next cruelty. 
Their concerns are not about society, the economy or public safety, they’re an ever-moving target of fear and hatred that cannot be sated, it has to be challenged. 
And now it’s too late, because you thought that you — and you alone! — would be the first centrist to steal the fascist’s lunch by agreeing with them rather than fighting them with every fibre of your being.Daily Mail headline NO CAP ON MIGRANTS IN LABOUR'S CRACKDOWN, in response to the most repulsively draconian statements about immigrants evere uttered by a Labour government.

On Radio 4’s Today Programme Farage refused to accept that carbon emissions are leading to climate change. Farage is a con artist. He will say or do anything. Let’s not forget he’s bankrolled by fossil fuel interests, climate deniers, and major polluters—taking in £2.3 million since 2019 election.
A screenshot of the Green Party Press Release:

Greens challenge “con artist” Farage to climate TV debate
23 April 2025 / 23 April 2025 by Green Party

Responding to Nigel Farage’s comments on Radio 4’s Today Programme where he refused to accept that carbon emissions are leading to climate change, Green Party Co-Leader, Adrian Ramsay MP, hit back saying: 

“Nigel Farage is a performer, a con artist. He will say or do anything. He will happily dance to a populist tune regardless of its impact. Let’s not forget he’s bankrolled by fossil fuel interests, climate deniers, and major polluters—taking in £2.3 million since the 2019 election.

This morning’s performance suggested he hasn’t got the slightest grasp of even the most basic climate science. But I think it’s worse than that. He understands all too well human-made climate change, but he is willing to pretend he doesn’t and stand in the way of climate action for his party’s populist agenda.

If he really does believe what he says, let’s see if his ridiculous rhetoric stands up to actual scrutiny – let’s see if he is prepared to take part in an hour-long TV debate about climate change and the challenge of reaching net zero?”

Think Reform’s net-zero announcements may well be their first big mistake since their rise in the polls. There would definitely be scope to criticise specific climate measures, but trying to actively reverse shift to renewables lands well on wrong side of British public opinion.
