    Tax the rich.

    The rise of industries in the late 1800s eroded the tradition of people living together in multi-generational households, where old and young worked together to provide for everyone.

    Nuclear families became the norm.

    Younger generations moved to cities to take good-paying industrial jobs, leading lives distant from their older, often infirm, relatives.

  3. @ChrisMayLA6 not just the political system, people are just exhausted. It's coming up on 16 years since the 2008 crash and people have gone from deliberately introduced austerity to a #costofgreedcrisis via a worldwide pandemic (that hasn't gone away, it's just being ignored). It's a luxury to be able to think about politics instead of whether you'll be able to afford the week's groceries, or to have the heating on long enough to dry out your clothes.

  4. “…the real purpose of a coven was to meet friends, even if they were friends simply because they were really the only people you could talk to freely as they had the same problems and would understand what you were moaning about.”
    Terry Pratchett; Wintersmith

  5. The climate crisis is here. The storm will not pass. Climate change will only get worse unless our politicians act. We have to do everything we can to stop causing more irreverable damage to the climate.

  6. “And what had he wanted? He'd never sat down to think about it. But mostly, he wanted yesterday to be different from today.”

  7. The World Health Organisation published a report showing that, in 2019, almost all of the global population (99%) breathe air that exceeds WHO guideline limits and contains high levels of pollutants. In the report, outdoor air pollution is estimated to have caused 4.2 million premature deaths worldwide in 2019.
    The report attributes almost all of this air polution to the burning of fossil fuels.

  9. CW: Broken Britain

    The only reason I miss Twitter is to name and shame and SCREAM at #AvantiWestcoast and #NorthernRail for dispicable incompetence under Tory rule and devastating mismanagement and greed.

    It's 0 degrees right now in the Midlands, and trains are being cancelled and delayed in quick succession. Children are tired & crying, people on their phones frantically trying to re-plan their lives.

  10. Defend the Right to Strike

    Legislation proposed by the Tory govt will override a workers’ right to withdraw their labour, forcing them to work against their will.

    Right to strike is a fundamental democratic right

    It's no accident that this right is under attack at the very moment the public is fighting back against the #CostOfGreedCrisis
