This account is mostly for arguing with people who are wrong. Holds low-status opinions and values; hence blue tick. Followers ignored.

"Hitler was a failed art student and a vegan who blamed all his problems on rich people and the Jews.
"If he was around today, he'd be attending the Green Party conference'
Superb @LeoKearse 👏👏👏

Every nation should treat billionaires like a natural resource and mine them of their riches until exhausted, just like a nice thick seam of coal or a reservoir of oil, then make the spoils available to the nation's citizens. If they crop up again, mine them again.

@ReemAmirIbrahim The two are not in tension. Obviously the triple lock is a disgusting joke. Obviously the welfare socialism rewarding joblessness is immoral.

Britain must either allow mass immigration or abolish the state pension.
Immigration is plummeting into the net negatives. 25% of working-age Brits don't work. Fertility has collapsed, and the state pension is soaring.
So, which do you pick?

@Heccles94 You just want to steal from others because of your envy and greed. Immoral scum.

No one is arguing that billionaires don’t already pay lots of tax.
We’re arguing that they have vastly too much money which should be in the hands of the workers, who would then be paying tax.
English
@BladeoftheS Total lies. Those industries were chronically inefficient and hobbled by strikes and unions. This is just invented socialist bollocks.

Until 1979 when Margaret Thatcher took over, Water, Energy, Rail and Mail were some of the cheapest and best run services in the entire world.
Then suddenly she said we can't afford them because she wanted to privatise them and they began to fail.
What a strange coincidence.

The Sun is a disgusting rag and they have to pay for what they’ve done to Huw Edwards. They tried to destroy someone’s life with false claims of illegality involving a minor. We know now there was no criminality, and The Sun have driven a vulnerable man into medical care.

@Tenaciter @anon_opin So if Reform get in, they'll remove your workers and human rights, minimum wage, defund the NHS, raise the pension age and tell you it's alright, because the boat people.

We need a "working class history month". Remind people just where so many of our hard-fought rights come from and why those in power are so hell-bent on convincing so many people that minorities are the problem.
English
Betting shops should only be allowed in areas where the median income is north of £80k. Any less than that and they are preying on people who can't afford to lose hundreds every month.
English
The people with the irrational hatred of immigration are the same people with an irrational hatred of cyclists. They are a group who are susceptible to easy manipulation & behavioural control by narratives based on propaganda. This is exploited by capitalists for their own agenda
English
@scottsantens You always waftily quote these fictional "UBI studies" to support anything you wish to claim about them. There have been very few with highly limited scope and they do not support the conclusions you claim.
English
We already have a system of non-universal basic income. It’s called "having wealthy parents." UBI just democratizes that privilege so everyone has the same base-level security to pursue their potential. It's no coincidence that entrepreneurs tend to come from wealthy families.
English
Can we all now agree that greenifying British energy is unbelievably important for both the cost of living and national security?
English
@BrummieBes Trotsky was to the right of you so your views on where the "right" is can be safely ignored.

There has been no left wing government in the UK since 1976
America arguably hasn't had a left wing in their 250 year history
The left have stolen nothing since 2000.
Inevitable West@Inevitablewest
According to the left, videos before the year 2000 are "right-wing propaganda." They actually just don't want you to remember what they stole from us.
English
Total idiocy. We're at 54 latitude. Solar is simply inefficient here. Yet another barrier to building and extracting wealth from people to fund this net zero messianic folly.

The emperor of electrical sockets laughs at your inferiority

Say what you want about Europe but our electrical outlets are far superior and that is a fact
