  1. It is hard to find a pic which sums up Brexity right wing sabotage of #Britain better than this.

    Pointless vandalism of something benefiting the entire community and planet ... plus an attached sign begging for the plant to be given any clean, saved household water during morning or evening.

    It still amazes me how so many #Brits avoid the real issue of how successive capitalistic, privilege-favouring #Governments exploit them ... by letting themselves be redirected (by those in on the exploitation) to resent anyone different.

    It is a stain of stupidity on the British psyche milked and perpetuated by #Farage, #Badenoch, #Johnson, #Gove, #ReesMogg and all similar self-serving enablers, cronies, and unseen donors.

    The formula:
    Excessive privilege + establishment play 'outsider' and activate dark triad traits in the population ... to extract more from the wider population (while saying 'these are hard times'), joining any corrupt country-sabotaging scheme going, and ensuring psychopathic pro-fossil fuel narrative, corporate-fronted evasion of fair taxation, and genuine improvement of social and health services is avoided, unless for the gain of their dirty deals and donors. All with a thinly spread veneer of 'token' superficial improvements to *seem* non-sabotaging.

    Hate-eroded far right 'brains' run to it every time. Lemmings off a cliff, betraying their country while waving the flags obsessively. Moronic.

  2. I have woken to find reality pouring away and satire taking its place. Badenoch denounces Farage as ‘woke’ 🤣

    She has her principles and if you don’t like them she has others to reuse the oft quoted criticism.

  3. “The civilisational collapse cult”

    “Nigel Farage has said he thinks it’s ‘absolutely nuts’ for CO2 to be considered a pollutant, while Kemi Badenoch says candidates aren’t welcome in the Conservative Party who support the UK’s 2050 net zero emissions target. The backdrop? Wildfires raging across Europe, forcing more than 300,000 people to flee their homes.

    Welcome to the civilisational collapse cult”

  4. @GeraldKutney If only it was, Gerald! Tell that to Donald #Trump, Andy #Burnham, Kemi #Badenoch, Nigel #Farage, Friedrich #Merz... Even when #politicians acknowledge the #reality of #Climatechange, they refuse to curb #fossilfuel #production & #burning, #deforestation & #Destruction of #wetlands, or make sufficient #investment in #renewable #energy - in Trump's case, OPPOSING IT!

  5. disabilitynewsservice.com/regu. A classic example of a "regulator" failing to regulate, or rather a toothless watchdog. #Badenoch & the #Tories were never scared of the Office for #Statistics #Regulation, & knew perfectly well they could go on lying about #socialsecurity #spending "spiralling out of control" with total #impunity. They clearly accept the dictum of Joseph Goebbels, that a lie repeated often enough becomes the "truth", @ChrisMayLA6.

  6. There is a logic to Kemi #Badenoch's purge of wets like #GavinBarwell.

    For 2 centuries, #Conservatives aimed to be a national party, a broad church allied against rapid change. It worked brilliantly. At most general elections, they won a plurality of votes, and #FPTP gave them a majority of seats.

    Now the #Kemisphere is a rump, with less than ⅙ of the seats. Polls predict ⅕ of votes and 1/10 of seats.

    Kemi isn't preparing for power. She is purifying her tiny sect.

  7. Yes, @markhburton. In 2003-6, I encountered a few such Tory MPs in parliament who I built a good working relationship with, and came to really value. I learnt a lot from them.

    But all of them would be firmly blocked by #Badenoch.

  8. As Europe Sweats, Some Politicians Talk of Air-Conditioning, Not Climate Action

    It was a crisp 54 degrees in Aberdeen, on the northeast coast of Scotland, last week when Kemi…

  9. @ChrisMayLA6 Sir Humphrey’s old rule was to never launch an inquiry without being sure that it would report the answers you wanted. Kemi #Badenoch has boasted of how she stitched up trans people by making many hostile appointments to ensure that the #CassReport said what she wanted it to say.

    I would be very surprised if Wes #Streeting had not done the same.

  10. "Kemi Badenoch: ‘UK’s wealth isn’t from white privilege and colonialism’"
    "Minister told London conference that Glorious Revolution of 1688 paved way for economic certainty"

    I suppose she's not denying that those things happened, just that they were only part of what made us rich.
