Notice how we’ve gone from needing digital ID to show our employers that we’re not illegal immigrants to needing digital ID to “rent or buy a home, apply for a job, open a bank account, and much more besides.”

Once digital IDs are required to access the internet and log into social media sites, they will make censorship dramatically easier. And there is no doubt censorship is one of the aims here.

Instead of increasing the Retirement Age why don't we lower the wealth limit?

To say £100m.

This would affect only 4,200 people.

But would raise nearly £1.5tn

The fact that your politicians will stand up for Israel.

But not for Disabled People, Pensioners, Immigrants or against War Crimes.

Should disgust everyone.

stop worrying about immigrants and disabled people and pensioners.

If the richest 150 people in the UK got only £1m a day richer instead of £2m.

There would be £60bn to spend.

And they would still be getting a MILLION Pounds every single day.

In the UK, you can be arrested for "terrorism" for saying you disagree with a government decision

An anti-genocide protester was arrested by the Metropolitan Police for holding up a sign reading: “I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action.”

Reeves insists that she must “do something”

Well here's an idea
Start by addressing the vast subsidies flowing to the wealthy via tax breaks and to landlords, fossil fuel companies, and supermarkets whose staff have to rely on benefits as the wages they are paid are insufficient to live on

the state is never too small to prop up private equity and offshore investors (like JLR, which recently received a £1.5 billion loan guarantee because its own management was incompetent at managing its risks), but it's apparently benefits that are too generous to those who depend on them to live.

Cuts to benefits normalises the idea that welfare is a problem to be fixed rather than a cornerstone of a civilised society.

It pushes disabled people further into isolation, stripping away mobility and dignity

It shifts public anger away from corporate power, and wealth concentration
Reposted by JJ
A genuinely courageous government would say that social security is not a drain but a duty; that mobility for disabled citizens is not a privilege but a right; and that the real reform this country needs is of a tax system rigged in favour of the wealthy and corporations.
You're very welcome 🙂

The Botanic Cottage at Edinburgh’s botanical gardens.

One of my favourite buildings in the city. I love its story and the love and care the people of the city have shown it www.rbge.org.uk/visit/royal-...

Haven’t done any drawing for months, but have finally picked up a pencil. Feeling very rusty, but it’s a start.

An African Penguin that I drew in a style that is not typical for me but it came out well and the print has been one of the firm favourites at art markets.

He’s got a charismatic little face, which I take no credit for - the reference Penguin had all the charm!

Birds are super fun to draw. I love their shapes, colours and charisma.

This is a Tufted Titmouse.
