‘Kemi’s Family Home Pledge’blurts the Daily Mail.What a disgusting misrepresentation.How about’Kemi backs the 4% of £1m Home Owners who mainly live in London and the South East’ There that’s it fixed!

The Torygraph screams’Labour Mayors plot 5pc Tourist Tax’. They then go on to claim this will add £198 to a family staycation.I don’t think maths is their strong point if they think an average family spends £3960 on UK hotel accommodation. What planet do these people live on!

Illegal War in Iran (Trump+oil) Genocide in Gaza-ditto The world on fire-ditto The rich getting obscenely rich-ditto Untold suffering across the planet-ditto Oil is killing us all-ditto Wonder if there’s a common denominator?

July 4th.America should be celebrating 250 years.Instead it has a maniac in charge causing havoc across the globe and generally pissing off virtually every country on the planet.He has taken over the ‘festivities’ and as per usual turned a special occasion into a self glorifying Trumpfest.

Normally I would wish anyone who has been alive 80 years a happy birthday but in the case of Trump I can’t.He is such an obnoxious narcissist who has been responsible for so much cruelty,so many unnecessary deaths,so much corruption,so much anxiety and anger and so much trouble around the world.

The Trump administration has gone full ‘bread and circuses’ with the latest abomination on the Whitehouse lawn.What a totally unedifying spectacle.It is symbolic of where 250 years of creeping corruption and cruelty leads.

Just my take on where we are but if we don’t rejoin the EU soon it will end the United Kingdom.The grievance level in Scotland is such that independence is now being actively considered by many former unionists.If Labour don’t commit soon it will be imo inevitable.

Do you ever think that we are better than all this? Better than the billionaire funded media noise?Better than the poison of a few deranged twats? We are a decent people with decent values.Most of us act like that.Never forget that.

In a nutshell.Now let’s all focus on who said what and when in the latest Mandleson psycho drama as if it really matters!

George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

There is a fundamental disconnect with what normal people deem important.Who really cares about the Mandleson Saga when the worlds on fire? The media beef up the importance of this Westminster as psycho drama just to amplify their own importance.(I’m looking at BBC particularly here Mr Mason)

The biggest problem with the domino theory that has governed US interventions since the end of WW2 is that it presumes you can see all the dominos.Actions have consequences and Trump is taking the US down a very dangerous road.

He’s a rapist. He’s a liar. He’s a misogynist He’s a war criminal. He’s a narcissist. He’s a mobster. He’s a bully. He’s morally bankrupt. He’s causing death everywhere. He’s ruining economies. He’s the worst thing to happen on the planet for over 80 years. Yet he’s still going? America…enough!

Post it and circulate so more copies can be made. You have to appreciate the infinite stupidity and incompetence of the idiots. That's what you get when you hire idiots - an idiocracy.

The US aircraft carrier story is laughable.The military is working from hotels because the bases are destroyed.The war is ‘won’ but thousands of troops are on their way?Trump farts and we are all meant to appreciate the stink. How much longer can it go on like this?

The lies defining this moment in America: -The 2020 election was stolen -There’s massive voter fraud -There’s an epidemic of noncitizens voting -We’ve been “invaded” by millions of criminals -Only an authoritarian government can fix these problems -Jesus agrees with all of this

He’s casually talking about taking Cuba. He’s calling Gavin Newsom POTUS He’s pleading for NATO help whilst insulting and tariffing its members. He’s clearly lost control. Yet the MSM don’t mention his cognitive decline and continue to take him seriously.What does he have to do to loose credibility!
