Thread by @TrialByTruth

Well worth a read including references if you have time. I have flagged the same. Below is a related thread

If loud or quiet (as I was below)

It doesn't make it any less true. We escalated up a ladder of real concern as evidence mounted

Too few taking risks seriously

Fact-lite promises / threats are easy. Refuting evidence is not

Another related and carefully stated reflection of the same from @MrMarkEThomas in a thread on the #REUL. If firms are deregulated clumsily while we erode human rights, firms do not self-police. See Shell, BP and more general billionaire uptick

@MrMarkEThomas The argument that those with power and wealth will default to an altruistic equilibrium for the country is utter nonsense. This should all be a stark example

The energy firms squeezed their customers. Struggling people are referred to debt collectors

Firms even asked to be taxed in passing as they were seeing the retail demand being destroyed

Some lip service to vulnerability, debt held is the liability on their balance sheet. Courts took per warrant payments to process

Better chance of repayment is more valuable debt to trade on in debt and derivatives markets

Warrant fee needed as legal and court system is underfunded

People had their homes broken into on that basis. That is the free market adjusting for poverty

Homes freed up for private sale as the residents sink under debt the market forced them to hold

Pertinent Johnson quote in a thread on work to make it more affordable to buy a home, while it is made easier to evict you

With freedom and power comes great responsibility. Cabinet are calling to have the former and be absolved of all the latter /END

P.S. A few related studies on this trajectory to greater inequality and the use of coercion and the erosion of rights to secure that

Further to that, where once it felt like unhelpful hyperbole, this is probably also worth a read

Finally, if you struggle to credit me with the knowledge to be reliable on this. Martin Wolf is here with similar. @FT's top man on the prevailing economics prospectmagazine.co.uk/economics-and-…

I said I was done, but maybe note hecklers at Biden's state of the nation. It is the equivalent cohort cheering for destruction of our public services and our protective regulations and laws

With this as a solid counter to it

On a brighter not to go with the chuckle I hope that gave you. It is very few who want this as per this video and all of the polling

In the heat of fights and fears on here we can forget that most of our neighbours would gladly do all they can to help others out

The party were warned against misleading us and brewing up fights with more concocted and fictional enemies. Folk are not daft, we mostly see through it

It is not either greedy bullies, or deluded commies. Most of us sit squarely in the middle and really need a return to some humanity, sanity, honesty, accountability
