@markhburton
Potentially two good additions to the team (not least because Brown’s grip on the way money works is streets ahead of Reeves’ understanding), but as a way to address Starmer’s problems it’s a total #MissingThePoint. -
@markhburton Do you know the great works and struggle by the late Paco Puche in Spain against asbestos and the asbestos tycoons? He wrote lots of articles and published some must-read books on the problem. For example: https://www.catarata.org/libro/amianto_44878/

Many think #banks are #neutral (for it's #speculation? investment into #war? #paying for what #profits most devastating in a short time?) and it isn't #moral actually passing through those hands full of #bad actors (#immoral #investments) and growing what #fucks people best and #sucks most out of them.#Banks = #Negative #Equations #Maths / #Immoral #Math #People #Extraction

@markhburton I feel like we could all talk about #money and #banks more often ?
Banks are not neutral and money is root of all #evil / pays for it / enables others to take the good money (all money passing through #rich people's hands) and use it for very #unhelpful things in life...

@markhburton ¿En riesgo? ¿Potenciar? Vaya manera de diluir la gravedad del asunto. El titular correcto sería: "La UE no tiene materias primas para las (mal llamadas) energías renovables".

@markhburton We all are struggling with this. It would be easy to pin this all on the #IDU, but there seems to be a wider network of racist billionaires at work.

I'm sorry, but: "... never going to an Arsenal game again because I can’t accept hospitality is pushing it a bit far."
Tough, he's actually paid enough to buy those tickets himself if it's that valuable to him.
Millions of us have to go without because of contingent circumstances. Excuse not good enough.

@markhburton @pvonhellermannn We cannot now avert collapse; the best we can achieve is a least worst collapse.
We still all have to do everything we can to achieve that, in the sure and certain knowledge that it won't be enough, but also in the knowledge that every mitigation we can achieve is lives saved.

@KimSJ @markhburton very telling, isn't it?

Remember who they are, when / if you get a chance to vote again.

'In the words of Ciaran Martin, former director of GCHQ’s National Cyber Security Centre, “Not only is there no duty to disclose details of the vetting case” [to, for instance, the prime minister, but that] “there is a duty not to disclose them”. It is clear that this current convention is a recipe for disaster.'

I complained about the profile BBC gave to asylum fraud. They say
"A tracker poll by YouGov suggests immigration and asylum have been seen by many over the last 15 years as among the most important issues facing the country.
We recognise this isn’t a view shared by everyone, but.... We think it’s important to scrutinise the asylum system where it is prompting widespread concern in the UK."Why do they think it is a widespread concern?
Because they keep saying it is. -
"For decades we've lived on abundant energy and resources that appeared to be infinite. But that foundation no longer exists."

£1.6bn expropriated from the NHS alone by capital.
That's money that could fund public provision.
