Nicole has asked me to share her fundraising campaign.
This should be a warning for all of us in the UK.
If privatization is driven to completion by the Tories - and they will by the looks of it and it’s all been set out and planned and already partially implemented - 2/

We definitely need #Optimism .
And he knew what he was talking about in his circumstances in the resistance movement in the “Third Reich”-Germany (you don’t hear much about that in the UK interestingly).
