Account of Bruce Simpson. Perthshire. Pro Scottish independence. Ex X! Too elderly to put up with corrupt political nonsense!
They ARE abandoning democracy by way of support for Reform.

Private health companies anyone? Required: definitions for donations and bribes!

There is very little to choose from up but if you want to understand exactly what is going on I still recommend PE (satire & very good investigative reporting despite IH), Byline, National and Ch4. There is no “perfect” group of media outlets but for me those 4 are best - the Guardian in reserve!

Can Hancock prove this wasn’t a bribe? If it waddles, has webbed feet and quacks….?

“Political Donations” ??? Why are we allowing our political leaders to accept such payments. The major political scandal of our times.

In truth, it is not “austerity” as we have been living with it since WWII! All my life the UK has been in a state of “austerity”. Today’s austerity is being driven by powerful, greedy far-right capitalism. Try and be a bit more lateral in your opinions. Support Byline Times!

Nothing of course - except build more huge pylons to take our energy south!

Good point!

Not their finest hour but the Guardian is still the only English paper worth reading - unless you call Private Eye and Byline Times English!
