I can finally share this! Duncan Jones commissioned me to do a poster for his upcoming Rogue Trooper film (which is gonna be awesome).

Love this STARSKY & HUTCH tribute by a bunch of guys in Bradford. The real thing debuted on ABC 51yrs ago today can you beiyeve.

when you do something right and your boss actually sees it

a hundred grand a year and you can’t work out the difference between drinking on the job and having a pint after work. absolutely stealing a living from the taxpayer

Ever since I was a little boy, I knew I wanted to log into Microsoft Authenticator 47 times a day.

Hit the nail on the head. The stench of entitlement is off the charts. Yearly medicals, weekly alcohol and drug testing, performance reviews and more. Just to work in construction. And these pissed up charlatans are making life Changing decisions.

When you’re so good at your job that you accidentally become everyone’s source of happiness

"We don’t need schools, libraries, and the government to be "run like a business." We need them be run like public services that advance the health and well being of all people."

SHE REPORTED FRAUD AT ONE OF BRITAIN'S BIGGEST COMPANIES. NOBODY CARED. THEN IT ALL COLLAPSED. Emma Mercer started her new finance job at Carillion in early 2017. Six weeks in, she found something that made her stomach drop. The books were wrong. Costs were being hidden. Profits were being made to look bigger than they were. On projects worth hundreds of millions of pounds, the numbers simply did not match reality. She told her boss. He brushed her off. She told the CEO. Same response. She went to HR because she had run out of people willing to listen. A board member later described her in writing as a whistleblower who did not feel she was listened to. She was right about everything. Every single thing. But instead of launching an independent investigation, the board quietly scrapped the idea of outside scrutiny and handed the job back to @KPMG, the company's own auditors. The same firm that had been signing off Carillion's accounts as healthy for 19 consecutive years. The same firm collecting £29 million in fees from the very company it was supposed to be independently checking. MP Frank Field said it plainly in Parliament. KPMG were asked to mark their own homework. They gave it top marks. Eight months after Emma Mercer raised the alarm, Carillion collapsed. January 2018. The biggest compulsory liquidation in British history. Here is what that actually meant for real people: 3,000 workers lost their jobs overnight. 28,500 people in Carillion's pension schemes saw their retirement savings cut. A £2.6 billion pension black hole left ordinary workers worse off for years. Taxpayers handed over £150 million just to keep hospitals, schools and prisons running while the mess was cleaned up. Meanwhile, Carillion's former Finance Director Richard Adam sold every single share he owned on the day the 2016 annual report was published. He walked away with £750,000. The shares were worthless months later. It took the regulator five years to act. When it finally did, KPMG was fined £21 million, a record. Investigators also discovered KPMG staff had faked meeting minutes and altered spreadsheets to deceive the regulator during its inspection. The lead audit partner was banned from the profession for 10 years. The fine was less than what KPMG earned from Carillion. One woman told the truth in her first six weeks on the job. She was ignored, sidelined and described as a problem. The executives who ignored her kept their bonuses. The auditors who backed them up kept their fees. The workers who had nothing to do with any of it paid the price. This is how British corporate accountability works.

She was watching the Isle Of Man TT for the first time 😲 (via ollieeohmedia/TT)

People who can’t afford a mortgage are often paying more in rent than they would be in mortgage repayments. This is an unfair system designed to extract profit.

No, because there isn’t one. And this isn’t going to work again. 🔗 join.greenparty.org.uk

#SocialistSunday Two of my terrorist friends from XR in Trafalgar Square Saturday.

The government can stick its war propaganda where the Sun doesn't shine. Nobody is going to fight and die for Starmer, Charles III, Zelensky and Netanyahu.

🚨THIS WEEK MP’S WILL VOTE ON A BILL TO GIVE POLICE UNPRECEDENTED POWERS TO BAN RECURRING PROTESTS TURNING A FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOM INTO A PRIVILEGE GRANTED BY THE STATE We cannot allow this government to create a society where protest is treated as a privilege granted by the state rather than a right held by the people. The right to protest is precious and must be defended. ITS NOT TOO LATE to stop this shocking and shameful attack on our fundamental right to protest. More than 40 civil society groups including the TUC and Greenpeace have joined forces to oppose this draconian crackdown on our right to freedom of expression and assembly - and you can help too by CONTACTING YOUR MP RIGHT NOW - tag them to this film and and ask them to oppose this

We work to survive only to be raped of our earnings by the corporation, the tax man, energy companies, banks and billionaires. And they find new ways to bleed us by the day. Merely surviving isn't civilisation, this is barbarism.

What an incredibly immoral waste of resources. Peaceful protesters quietly holding signs expressing forbidden opinions of solidarity against genocide, arrested en-masse by this ridiculous force on behalf of a craven, pathetic government.
