This makes clear that MAGA aims to MEGA - Make Europe Great Again - by destroying not just social but liberal democracy. The Great Debasement! Turning mainstream Judaeo Christian and humanist ethics upside down. The money changers shall inherit the earth

The basis of all our problems is massively multiplying inequality. This should be the main headline 24/7 not rancid racist rants and benefit street lies. Won’t be as media dominated by the minuscule minority of obscenity wealthy. Life chances of world at stake

Structure of police forces‘irrational’ in that it’s a historical hodge podge that would never have been created ab initio . Doesn’t follow that restructuring is a major necessity. Problems from contradictions of policing for universal welfare and class hierarchy

Salutary rap on knuckles to those many commentators who show what’s wrong but not what is to be done. With persuasive checklist of solutions. But why should the powerful who would lose out stop protecting themselves with their media smokescreens?

Acute analysis of how the promotion of social democratic values against right wing assaults faces network of Catch 22s. Concentrate on bread and butter issues and they go for appealing abstract slogans. Go for stirring principles and seem out of touch and woke.

Spot on analysis and policy proposals by the great economist Joseph Stiglitz. The poor getting poorer, the middle stagnating whilst the mega rich soar away. No moral or pragmatic justification. Must fundamentally restructure political economy globally.

The cruelty of our still Thatcherite culture is shown by the attacks on Motability, the latest front in the war on welfare. The only beneficiaries are the super rich, whose media blame the vulnerable for the majority’s insecurity as wealth streams upwards

Punchy demonstration of the cruelty of austerity policies pursued over last fifteen years. Nearly half a million excess deaths, or as Engels put it bluntly social murder. The only gainers are the ultra wealthy oligarchs.
