Frustrated by 🇬🇧 and 🇺🇸 politics and media at the moment. For my sanity I turn to friends, art, walks, trees and dogs! Living in hope that “ it’s always darkest before the dawn.”

Lies, damned lies and the Telegraph. They posted CSJ figures using an outrageously false comparison of 2 cases. It claimed a benefits family were better off by £18k than a working household when the real figure was £16k worse off. The details benefitsinthefuture.com #benefits #budget

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him.
Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership."

The Telegraph has taken that fake story with the stock photo illustrations down. But it's pitiful what the right wing media in this country has become.
Brexit broke them and they never recovered. They spent years pretending black was white and up was down. They lost their moral bearings completely.

Also, it’s a trite observation but almost all of the people who appear before the courts charged with violent offences have “real grievances” in their own minds.
It doesn’t mean that those grievances are founded in reality. And it doesn’t mean we should excuse or condone the way they are aired.
