60,000 people – 0.001% of the world’s population – control three times as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity.

Top 10% earn more than the other 90%.

They control govts, means of production; inflict civil strife, deaths; thwart possibilities of democracy.

Tax the rich.
Just 0.001% hold three times the wealth of poorest half of humanity, report finds
Data from World Inequality Report also showed top 10% of income-earners earn more than the other 90%

“This is not America having priorities that don’t involve Europe. It is not isolationism. It is America taking sides with Russia against Europe, because one of America’s two political parties now sees Russian autocracy as preferable to European democracy.”

Why is it the cartoon baddies always just go one step too far. Watching the 47 administration is like watching a looney-tunes feature, all of the characters trying to out caricature each other. Next time you see the press he'll have a white cat on his lap.....

A disastrous consequence of a culture reserving its greatest rewards for commentators with the most pungently expressed opinions is how hard it becomes for them to climb down. By rights, *everybody* writing or speaking in the national interest should be horrified & outraged by Trump’s attacks on us.

#Oddsock Today would like everyone in the UK to know whilst deaf children get access to sign language through LAs. We don't universally give sign language training to PARENTS and often they pay out of pocket to communicate with kids.

Oddsock feels this is stupid and unfair.

Yet more “give them what they want so they don’t get what they want!”

How in the world are people not seeing what’s happening here?

Jenrick, Farage, Lowe and every other right winger is absolutely going to be celebrating this.

It makes sense that a war crime committing president should win a piece prize, awarded by a body of totally uncorrupt football promoters. It must mean so much. Like a Crackerjack pen, not as much as a golden gavel but more than a pointless trophy......

If I listen to the BBC morning show on R4 it feels like I've moved to a foreign country. The England it reports on is so far away from the Scotland I see every day.

The BBC in Scotland is no better, as it struggles to ape the same editorial lines.

Time for our own national public broadcaster.
