They did it in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Now the US government wants to overthrow democracy in Britain.
Still waiting for a UK government spokesperson to express their outrage.
Hello???
medium.com/black-isle-jou…
Powerful people, in and out of Parliament, claim to be defending the UK's sovereignty by taking us out of Europe.
But when the US Secretary of State directly and openly threatens our sovereignty, they stay silent.
19 years ago, I argued that the real agenda of Eurosceptics was not to defend our sovereignty, but to remove us from the EU in order to align us more closely with the US. It’s beginning to look that way. monbiot.com/2000/09/07/vot…

There's one born every minute
.@RachelRileyRR Am I right in thinking you were paid to do this? Last year, #Shell invested $25bn in oil and gas. But it won't say how much (or how little) it invested in these "amazing future energy solutions". You are greenwashing a company that's destroying our lives.
I can only imagine how people will look back on guff like this, when, thanks to Shell and the other fossil fuel companies, our life support systems start to collapse. Please take a look at what you're doing here @RachelRileyRR. There is oil on your hands.

Shell's business is ecocide. But, astonishingly, some conservation groups appear to believe its greenwash. My column. @GretaThunberg theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Shell's "environmental partners" help grant it a social licence to keep trashing our planet. They should break their links with the company: shell.com/sustainability…
Now we hear that #Shell will sit on a panel at the Ministerial Meeting on Climate Action tomorrow. It's like inviting a tobacco firm onto an inter-governmental health panel. @MAC_europa is mocking the Paris Agreement. Plse RT if you disagree with this decision @GretaThunberg

Good grief. A third furore in the billionaire press about our #LandForTheMany report. This time they're claiming we recommend a capital gains tax on main residences. We consider but then *REJECT* this option in the report:
Yet the Mail, Times, Telegraph, Sun, Express, Boris Johnson and Philip Hammond are all promoting the fiction that #LandForTheMany proposes the removal of the CGT exemption on main residences. I know this is the era of fake news, but this is getting ridiculous.
And, three weeks and perhaps 50 furious articles after #LandForTheMany was published, not a single journalist from any of these newspapers has contacted us. Nor has any BBC programme, or any mainstream broadcaster except LBC and Talk Radio, invited us to talk about it.

My analysis on China's tactics in Europe: theepochtimes.com/china-seeks-to…
When the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched its takeover of China after World War II, its then-leader Mao Zedong devised a unique strategy: “Surround the city with the countryside.”
This same strategy is now at play in the CCP’s attempts to subvert Europe—to dominate it from within, and in a way that those being subverted will not realize until it’s too late.

Uppsala, Peru, Malaria, and Gin & Tonic

Once upon a time, a man had the position of professor of medicine at a prestigious university. But he wasn’t happy and swapped his professorship and became the head of the university's botanical garden. That happened in the 18th century.
The university was in Uppsala, Sweden. The man’s name was Carl.
He was not any Carl. He was one of the most renowned scientists in history. He led the way to create the modern-day biological nomenclature for classifying organisms.
i.e. how do you differentiate a cow from a donkey, a zebra, or a horse? It’s easy. Just look at them and you can see the differences. The difficult question is: how do you scientifically differentiate them? That is, a systematic approach to distinguish species, genus, family...
