About 30% of the land in the UK is owned by about 0.5% of the population.

So that tiny minority hoovers up nearly one-third of all rent related to land - that includes farmland and many inner-city areas.

Let's get more of that cake for public services.

GB News on protests.

Farmers protests are good, because they are protesting for selfish reasons.

Climate protests and Palestine protests are bad, because they are protesting for something other than themselves.

All latitude bands were warmer than average over the last 6 months. This was particularly visible across the Arctic and Antarctic regions. 🔥

Plot shows zonal-mean temperature anomalies, where latitude = y-axis (not scaled by distance). GISTEMPv4 data using their 1951-1980 baseline.

Experts in international security predicted that climate change would produce extreme nationalist governments using force against vast migrations of climate refugees.

This is the "Armed Lifeboat Scenario", individual richer countries being the armed lifeboats.

We are already drifting into this.

Trump is a bad actor.

Trump is an algorithm.

The President is a fake account. He is pretending to be America First, but his true mission is to do the bidding of other countries. To destroy us from the inside.
