How do the richest people on Earth get away with destroying the planet? They built a fortress of money, lawsuits, lobbyists, banks, propaganda, and hate. But every fortress has a weakness: us.

Red background with image of a castle fortress. Text reads; "How do the richest people on Earth destroy the planet without consequences? They build a fortress, with six walls."

Illustration of scales where a finger is pushing down one side. The page is split in two sections.
Text 1 reads; "Wall 1: The money moat. Their wealth is invested in the companies burning the world. When polluters profit, so do they."
Text 2 reads; "Wall 2: The legal shield. Pass an environmental law? They sue governments in secret corporate courts. They've won over $120 billion this way."

Illustration of an oil barrell spilling out and the oil is in the shape of a dollar sign. The page is split in two sections.
Text 1 reads; "Wall 3: The hired army. At COP29, fossil fuel lobbyists outnumbered delegates from climate-vulnerable nations. The guards write the climate laws."
Text 2 reads; "Wall 4: The banker's gate. Banks multiply their money by financing new drilling, new mines and new pipelines. Trillions of dollars pumped into pollution, while we get lectured on straws."

Sillhouette of footprints. The page is split in two sections.
Text 1 reads; "Wall 5: The distraction machine. When climate activism grows, the same donors fund hate and division. If we're fighting eachother, we're not fighting polluters."
Text 2 reads; "Wall 6: the propaganda tower. Big oil invented carbon footprint to make you blame yourself. The message: It's your fault, don't look at us."

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore.

So I wrote a blog about ten things you can do *right now* to help defeat Farage, Musk, and rightwing populism.

From scrutinising Reform councillors to demanding the UK Govt leave X - get involved:

Stop Trump Coalition @ukstoptrump.bsky.social · Sep 14

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.

Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.

This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

In the film 28 Weeks Later, why does the US Army medic make the two kids stumble in the dark ahead of her through the zombie-infested Tube station, while she looks at them through the night-sight on her rifle? Surely she should be going first to see what's coming? For cinematic effect, but daft...

This is the owner of X actively campaigning to take down the elected government of a country he is neither a resident nor a citizen of - and using threats of violence in the streets to further his aims www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

“My message is to them: if this continues, that violence is going to come to you, you will have no choice. You’re in a fundamental situation here. Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die, that’s the truth, I think.”

Our democracy is too precious to be a plaything for foreign tech barons.

Elon Musk doesn’t care about the British people or our rights. He only cares about himself and his ego.

After many months out of print, due to the messy demise of my ex-publisher Unbound, my debut novel Villager was republished yesterday. I've now made the full 'Village Message Board' chapter from the book, which is many people's favourite, free to read here: the-villager.ghost.io/the-village-...

Judith Sparrow: Has anyone spotted a horse rug on their travels? Purple, with red stripes. Last seen up near Hood Gate. Any information appreciated. My Thomas is getting cold.
Terence Black: Fantastic fish and chips tonight at the Stonemason’s Arms. Just right. Mushy peas.
Diana Wilson: I had some last week. Overcooked.
Gary Oliver: Everyone keep their eye out there’s a drone around in the night sky been seen looking for something worth pinching.
Gary Oliver: Don’t suppose anybody has two concrete slabs they don’t need any more?
Terence Black: Be vigilant about scam phone calls. A number has been calling me. International. Says I have been in a car crash nonsense I haven’t.
Jennifer Cocker: Are Roger and Sheila OK? Haven’t seen them for a while. They’re very old and having trouble getting around now.
Sheila Winfarthing: We are fine. Thank you, Jennifer.
Jennifer Cocker: Someone should go round and check on them. I can’t. I have the kids.
Sheila Winfarthing: I’m right here.

🚨 GDP is up. But wages are low, rents soar & work is insecure.

Clive Lewis MP says what ministers won’t - "a quarter of private renters are handing over half or more of their income just to keep a roof over their heads.

This isn’t prosperity, it’s daylight robbery with a tenancy agreement"

Richness of life can’t be measured in GDP – what happened to joy?

GDP is up, but who’s better off? Clive Lewis, Norwich South MP, argues poverty is growing, wages lag, rents soar. And that’s not prosperity

So long @theguardian.com ... Just cancelled my annual membership after I came back to the UK and unable to access the website unless I (a) pay £5 per month in addition to the annual US$120 I already pay, or (b) accept all tracking and cookies. Coercive and disgusting way to treat paying supporters.
