Corrupt Britannia.

UK Govts bury bank scandals.

Frauds, moneylaundering not investigated.
FCA, SFO rarely prosecute.
HBOS frauds report promised by 2018, nothing published, ministers don't answer questions.

City of London Police funded by Lloyds Bank, UK Finance, financial institutions.
Why the banking industry is not a paragon of free markets, efficiency, or honesty
Despite making record profits and paying record returns to shareholders it resents paying taxes.

Thoughts?

Will the Eye increase the magazine’s font size?

From the latest episode of Page 94, recorded live at Cheltenham Literature Festival.
Just imagine if NATO powers had been utterly steadfast, united and uncompromising from the start of the invasion...

How would things look?
“He begged for a no-fly zone, saying ‘You’ve done it before. I know you can do it.’

I had to tell him NATO would not close the airspace.”

Former NATO Sec Gen Jen Stoltenberg tells @lewisgoodall.com about painful talks with Zelenskyy after Russia’s invasion.
Rory is right about this.

And we do indeed need to 'dream big' - before the nightmare takes over & the world order is destroyed.
Rory Stewart, "Trump is destroying the global order. Trump is on Putin's side"

"Trump wants a deal, a pro Putin deal. Putting Ukraine and Europe in a vulnerable position"

"I'm worried we'll get a repeat of what he did in Gaza. He will declare peace and victory when it really isn't a peace at all"
Zach performing brilliantly despite numerous interruptions in this long-form interview

I've had alignment with *some* of their policies & ethos for a long time, but I never saw them as having a real chance.

Until now...

What's most astonishing is that despite how obvious it is that billionaires control the narrative, brainwashed numpties keep voting in parties that cowtow to the super rich!

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Zach is doing a great job of rattling Reform & shaking things up in general in UK politics!

Exactly what's needed.

Long may it last, far may it go!

Zack Polanski, "Reform UK's Zia Yusuf was full of b*llocks and I think it was important to call that out on #BBCQT"

"What has become clear about Reform UK, they're a bunch of cowards"
That's a pretty awesome & hilarious comment!! 😂

See what lobbying does is it allows you to be taxed but not get represented.

It undoes the whole "no taxation without representation" No corporation should ever be able to be represented as a citizen.

A typical worker would now need to save more than a lifetime’s worth of their earnings to become wealthy

It would now take 52 years of typical earnings – £1.3 million in total – to move from the middle to the top of the wealth distribution.

The establishment are afraid of you - a good sign!

But yes, this bias & hypocrisy must be fought, tooth and nail, and this only makes me want in all the more. 😊
It's crap, but it's also very revealing - how terrified must the establishment media be to keep Zack off air, when he's clearly both a great watch & a highly relevant voice?

This makes me want to fight to get his voice heard all the more!

How about you?

#TheGreenParty
The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

It is outrageous how the Green Party has been sidelined, over many years.

All this while the likes of Farage, even when he wasn't an MP, got endless invitations & coverage!

THIS alone betrays an agenda-driven bias in our so-called 'free' press...
What a refreshingly bold and honest politician, sufficiently outspoken to include occasional expletives!

You may not agree with him on everything, but you must admit that he's a refreshing voice breaking through.
Final day of conference - and the energy has been amazing.

Our country is a mess. The world is in turmoil. We've got lots to do.

And we're ready.

Initially impressed that you used the phrase "shit-stirring" in a political interview, I was then doubled up at "I think that's bollocks", laughing out loud with joyful release at such fluid, outspoken honesty!

THIS is what we need - by which I mean the honest, bold politics (expletives or not). 👏
