If you are living in a society, in the 21st century, that has "Lords" and "Sirs" and "Kings" and "Queens" then, my friend, you are very much living in a society where PRIVILEGE, and its protection, is alive and well.

Here is the basic truth: the Labour right ran out of ideas long ago.

The PM’s allies on the right are ideologically opposed to any economic agenda that could see off the threat from Reform. Instead they prefer to follow Faragism.

A picture of Ellie Kamio. The border is a red and white keffiyeh design. Text reads: Bronzefield prison has moved Ellie Kamio, one of the Filton 10, overnight to another prison and is *refusing to tell her family where she is.* Ellie's family were on their way to visit her for Christmas. It was her little sister's first time visiting. They were told not to bother coming as Ellie was no longer there. Yet staff from Bronzefield could not answer where she had been moved to. All we know is she was taken from the prison with no explanation or warning. This is intimidating and dehumanising! * denotes underlined text

Conservative MPs Want to Scrap Workers’ Rights to Paid Holiday and Annual Leave

They are also seeking to overturn workplace protections from sexual harassment, calling them an attack on “free speech”

All those ‘blue wall’ And ‘reform’ voters may come to regret their choices - by that time it will be too late. They might also appreciate ‘flat rate taxes’ and the resulting redistribution of already grotesque wealth.

PSNI and Met police unlawfully spied on two journalists, tribunal finds

The investigatory powers tribunal ruled that the PSNI must pay £4,000 each in damages to Trevor Birney and Barry McCaffrey, who were arrested in 2018 after they produced No Stone Unturned, an award-winning documentary about a notorious massacre during the Troubles.

Samages and costs appear to be somewhat muddled in this article.

"The wealth of empirical evidence showing that, beyond a certain threshold, financial sector growth harms the wider economy...History has shown time and time again that beyond a certain point, the financial sector can only continue to grow by taking excessive risks and increasing the economy’s debt burden until the inevitable collapse.”

I did warn that UK Labour wanted to use their "metro mayors" plan to centralise rather than decentralise power. Coming soon to Scotland too, if they can get away with it.

From the US to Uganda, how climate activism has been criminalised in 2024

The global crackdown against climate activists and groups is clearly part of the fossil fuel industry’s strategy to crush dissent and keep burning the planet

Britain has the dubious honour of leading the world in arrests of environmental protesters, at “nearly three times the global average rate”

#ClimateChange #FossilFuels #UkPolitics #TheyDontWorkForUs
#climatechange #fossilfuels #ukpolitics #theydontworkforus

British police arrest environmental protesters at nearly three times the global average rate, research has found, revealing the country as a world leader in the legal crackdown on climate activism.

Only Australia arrested climate and environmental protesters at a higher rate than UK police.

Ashamed to be British..

Imagine watching a UK ‘spy cop’ whose lies destroyed lives trying to explain it away. This is what that was like

A very restrained headline IMHO, but those who directed these ‘men’ will never be held to account - although it will be interesting to hear about the firebombing (real) and collusion (alleged) by Lambert.

Ahh - and I find myself in full agreement with the Labour administration, a rare happening

http://archive.today/2024.12.11-231531/https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/house-lords-hereditary-peers-bill-ccwrtt328 (archived)

But I do agree with the quote ‘Lord Dobbs, who said hereditary peers should be given the “respect they deserve” and be allowed to serve until the end of this Parliament at least.’ Just not in the way I suspect Dobb’s means.

Now for the real reform but I don’t think that will happen.
