Super-rich get ‘double dividend’ from causes and costs of climate crisis. They profit from polluting industries, and through the ‘adaptation economy’. Super-rich buy govts, control means of production and think tanks. Victims pay higher prices for food, homes, relocations. Who governs?

What is the BBC's justification for maintaining this level of coverage of Reform now it has slipped into third place?

Alex Andreou@sturdyalex.bsky.social

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

How odd that Reform, Tory, and even Labour MPs know that Thatcherite privatisation caused Britian's massive debts, but want even more privatisation (of course, donations from private healthcare, fossil fuel etc lobbyists have no effects on their deeply held views) meme via The UK Against Hate

If you think a test for dementia is an IQ test, you have dementia. If you don't realize you have been given a test for dementia because your physician suspects you have dementia, you have dementia. If you think being able to tell a giraffe from a whale makes you a genius . . . you have dementia.

The harsh reality of that ‘take back control’ Brexit myth… “Whether it’s… the cost of living, restarting industry, or keeping us secure, we lack the weight to act alone. In today’s world, we can’t take back control while being an outsider in Europe.” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

A would-be Reform UK MP told an undercover reporter that Muslims could not be British and asylum seekers should be put in “concentration camps”. Refers to black children as “animals”. Reform is a party of sleaze, scandals, misogyny and racism, devoid of humanity. Will history repeat itself?
