and d) used debts to pay dividends Is its value solely derived from its monopolistic position and its captive customers? If so, then it is simply a failed company due to its lack of investment in a) and b) all of which falls to the beleagured customers. Needs to change

Honest Q What 'value' does a monopolostic service have when it is a) significantly failing a core service by not managing effluent for which its customers pay b) is failing its customers by not providing adequate supplies of its core business (water) c) is heavily indebted (and growing)....

Another person stating a populist statement rather than debate the issues, whilst deliberately dropping in prisons to the outline he gives. He was wirth listening to a few years ago but his populist track makes him no better than Fartage

This was stated in the BBC News lsdt night but with a feeling that 'I am going to get wrong for saying this' Pathetic reporting but another example of BBC iffering air time to people who should not have any for the reasons you mention

The reason we have Dyson/Ratcliffe and others scapegoating UK is that they fear being held accountable and pay reasonable amounts of tax. To say that people pay , say, £150mn in tax when it equates to 10% of earnings is laughable when PAYE up to 45%

Vin Totton @vintot.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
It is clear to me that the current economic system we have allows growth as demonstrated by the rise in multi-millionaires here and elsewhere. What is sldo possible is gor people to get the benefit of these situations and parcel themselves to places where no/low tax is payable.

Be interesting to see the impact on LAs, of the Renters rights Act next May and any reduction in evictions in the first year. This may be a very effective tool to avoid/reduce homelessness. Kemi is the tool who will increase homelessness

I am bloody proud to be an #RNLI supporter and member! These brilliant men and women have quite enough to cope with without being harassed by the scum of the earth. Their only concern is to help people in danger at sea - not check passports first! Which is how it should be. Please RT if you agree🙏

Kent police said 'no arrests were made' of the people who blocked a port and roads. There's your two-tier policing, folks www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm...

Indeed. Mentioned this morning thst Reform had two positives in the last year but the money is as yet unresolved - no mention of poor polling and various investigations

There is no JD or contract of X hours per week at present - that is how Fartage can do what he does outside of P'ment. Sounds like he will cut his nose off to spite his face - never happen. But mainly because he will never see the power he craves

...before it became hostile The comments by reform (unchallenged by ANY media) that dispersal doesnt work is shown to be a lie as it has worked successfully since 1999 when IAA was brought in and LAs were central to its delivery and its success

It was clear to me that the 'big change' in people voicing displeasure at people seeking adylum and refugees as well as wider immigration was the Brexit vote in 2016. As a manager providing support services yo many of these clients it became more openly questioning -' why you doing that' .....

His comments about 'having people next door to you' is the claim of the ignorant, ill informed and very simple politics. This is how the far right has ensured there is no answer to this issue. Dispersal has and does work and has been proven to work. Camps have been used and found unsuitable

Vin Totton @vintot.bsky.social · 14/08/2026
R4 Today at it again. Provide a platform for 30p Lee to say dispesal of people seeking asylum doesnt work. Ask him how it worked successfully through La's working hard to address the singles or families issues, support them until their decision is made and to manage successful move-on

My god R4Today is appalling. Asylum under the spotlight and no reference to yhe following: Good - dispersal across the country was achieved successfully from 1999 Bad - Tory stopped making decisions, started use of hotels , right wing increased their hatred to ensure even dispersal is under threat

As usual listening to R4 (4 my sins) and probation, Governers association commentating on the desperate state of the CJSystem. There is NO reference to what happened over the 14 years to 2024. It appears the media absolves previous Govt from any involvement in managing Govt departments. Appalling

Saint Robert Jentick given so much time to talk about lines that should not be crossed on sovcial media (jack Polanski tut tut) and not challenged about Reform calling for burning people in Hotels. Lines are drawn arbitrarily Well done Justin Webb great journalism
