So to pay for Andrew’s palace extravagances, Andrew who is suspected of being an Epstein client, hard working families need to pay higher taxes.

That’s exactly what any sensible person would expect from the “Labour” party, isn’t it.

The King has a brother who is suspected of raping children and he thinks now is a good time to steal some more money from hard working families?

What’s wrong with Charles. Is he entirely demented?

Greenpeace UK says high fees for offshore wind developers to lease the seabed is an abuse of monopoly power by Crown Estate

High fees push up the price of offshore wind & will act as a tax on energy bills, to fund the monarchy & lower taxes

It's time it stopped

The level of kleptocratic corruption in this regime is breathtaking, e.g.:

—Selling off Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae to big banks

—Bribes from ABC & CBS

—TikTok sale to Ellison

—Everything Qatar: the plane gift, the Idaho military base

—Whoever has bribed him by buying his scam meme coins

How will Australian infrastructure even survive the extreme wildfires and extreme floods of 2030 and 2031, let alone 2040 and 2041.

Honestly, unless we start to focus on the grave reality that has already arrived and immediately start preparing, what is the point?

Climate News @climatenews.bsky.social · 2h

The entire premise is completely insane.

An area of Australia twice the size of Texas was flooded by rain from a single storm, drowning hundreds of thousands of farm animals earlier this year. In a 2025 climate.

And you’re talking about bills in 2050?

Some sanity and a grasp of reality please!

Its not monsters from outer space
Its humans scraping the bottom floor and sucking up every life form that exists, leaving nothing
Fish often in vain flee for their lives

Also releases 370 million metric tons of planet-warming c02 every year, roughly same as running 100 coal power plants

And there is no ceasefire.

The firing has not ceased. On the contrary.

The firing has increased and the genocide has extended. Israel murdered many more Palestinian journalists since the “continue fire” was declared.

Pushing for a cease fire so you can look good in a genocide you specifically enabled, at the same time as you’re assaulting your own democracy & waging war on your own cities, is never going to get you a prize for peace. If there’s a prize for hypocrisy and narcissism though, you’ve got a real shot.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

It’s hilarious how something simple like “people are sharing Amazon links to buy the same costumes” gets filtered through these conspiratorial grifters’ minds and becomes “They are highly organized.”

Tony Blair did the same with the entire UK government.

He simply marked spending on incredibly overpriced consultants from PwC and others as “investment” in the 200-2005 period.

The same period during which he met Jeffrey Epstein.
