The end goal of capitalism is for you to own nothing for yourself btw. Everything you “own” will actually be rented from a corporation instead. Eventually ordinary people won’t be able to build PCs or play on consoles, they will pay a subscription fee to play games remotely.

I’ve seen Nazis march on our streets attempting pogroms against Muslims and asylum seekers these past few years. I haven’t seen Nazis march on our streets attempting pogroms against Jewish people. So why is it the latter who get protections like these?
🚨 NEW: The Government has accepted all 27 recommendations from the report to end antisemitism in schools and colleges 1. Recognise antisemitism as a distinct form of hatred, not just general racism 2. Strengthen political impartiality guidance, including limits on teachers wearing pro-Palestine badges 3.

Create more opportunities for pupils to engage with Jewish communities, including visits to synagogues 15. Make sure Judaism and modern Jewish life are properly represented in religious education 16. Improve media literacy so pupils can also identify online antisemitism 17. Provide better resources for teaching the Israel-Palestine conflict fairly and sensitively 18.

Establish a dedicated support service to help schools, colleges and councils deal with antisemitism 21.

Obviously I support these sorts of protections against discrimination but maybe all minority groups should have the same sort of coverage instead of just the ones who have the political clout to lobby for them?

We have seen and heard enough about how these people want to brutalise everyone who isn’t white so not only do I support denying them access to the political system that governs them, I also support interning them and everyone who thinks like them into re-education camps.
Replying to @thelefttake
You support denying people access to the political system that governs them?

The past decade has demonstrated that some people simply should not have an equal vote to the rest of us. Democracy would function better without their voices involved. It goes against my political instincts to say as much but it’s the sad reality.

I wonder why the people monopolising energy an resources are so desperate for energy and resources to be the new measure of wealth. Truly a mystery to me.
JUST IN: Elon Musk says money will become "irrelevant" in the future, with energy and resources becoming the new measures of wealth.

Hilarious, the right-wing can’t even have the narrative that Muslims burned down that town hall nobody knew existed a week ago because the whites did that too 😂

Time we had undercover stings on the far left in this country. Time we had front pages dedicated to the far left. They are far far more dangerous than the ‘far right’

Here's the chart I made showing Donald Trump's connections to Jeffrey Epstein
Turns out, El-Sayed really is tied to the Muslim Brotherhood. And it’s not just his half sister, mom, his own letter, and his father-in-law.

The pathological hatred and desire these weirdos have to dogpile this random woman that nobody knows anything about and did nothing other than get videoed standing by the side of a street has to be studied. Absolutely bizarre phenomenon. What kind of mental illness is this?

And no, these people aren’t doing right by their children and their grandchildren by voting Reform. Only in their minds.

I support the TV licence with reference to traditional television but there is absolutely no fucking way the BBC should be collecting license money from people who watch YouTube. Bonkers suggestion.
A mandatory license to watch TV could soon apply to YouTube, Netflix, and other streaming services in the UK It currently costs £180 ($240) per year

Harold Macmillan for me. He has always been one of my favourite PMs despite being a Conservative.
