Author of Bullshit Jobs, David Graeber said basic income unleashes human creativity and innovation, which both the left and right can support. Instead, we're held back by bullshit jobs. The next John Lennon "is lifting boxes in some department store as welfare conditionality".

Police arrested 1,800 people over the weekend. Meanwhile, 53 French billionaires hold as much wealth as the bottom 48% of citizens. In a single day, the top 1% is responsible for vastly more violence against people and planet than the average French person will commit over the course of a lifetime.

You’ll have heard a lot about violence among French protestors. You’ll hear very little about the violence committed by French police against the protesters. And you’ll hear almost nothing about the violence of austerity. This is not a coincidence. graceblakeley.substack.com/p/class-war-...

theedinburghreporter.co.ukEdinburgh charity “losing £10,000 per day” after “devastating” theftAN Edinburgh charity has said they are losing £10,000 worth of business every day after the “devastating” theft of parts of their essential delivery vans. Staff at the Edinburgh Furniture Initiative began their shifts unaware of the brazen theft until drivers attempted to start up the charity’s transport vehicles – and the vehicles began spewing diesel fumes. Mechanics at the local garage “knew exactly what had happened” as soon as they heard the engines, and confirmed all four vans – their entire fleet - had had their catalytic converters stolen.
