1/ #PrivatisationFail - Water Industry
The bare fact about each water company. All of it shocking. The differences between the private companies in England vs the public ones in devolved nations on CEO pay is stark.

1/ Understanding that “we have no legal opportunity of effectively influencing the conduct of wars waged in our name” explains the trauma that many of us feel. Our government is actively backing a genocide. They and the media are whitewashing, making the victims..
2/ the guilty, and making the perpetrators the victims. We protest, march and campaign to stop the genocide. Yet not only has the genocide got worse, it’s expanded to another country and now they’re planing a major regional war to “stop escalation”.
3/ This isn’t about one set of politicians or media outlets. It’s about the system. The system is all out for the genocide. It’s locked in, the same way climate destruction is, the way crumbling public services are and the way the economy works to only benefit a tiny minority.

1/ Labour didn't promise much during the election campaign. The only firm promise they made was on energy prices. Yet none of the media reporting on the energy price hike mentions this or questions Labour on this. Nothing is failing this country more than the #BrokenMedia

2/ This is typical of what Starmer and Labour were saying when they were in opposition looking for votes. A big difference to what they're saying today...
3/ Starmer and Labour in opposition also said they would protect pensioners and their winter fuel allowance. Now they've got the votes, they go back on all this...

Massive response across the country to counter the hate "protests". The real Britain reasserting itself against the tiny minority trying to terrorise us. Highlights on this thread.

That old myth about the royals and tourism has done the rounds like crazy. It never gets fact checked, so here some data
1/ UK sites: No royal site, free or paid is a top 10 tourist attraction by visitor numbers ImageImage
2/ Countries: 3 of the top 10 most popular countries for tourists are monarchies. Not one sensible person is saying people are going to Spain and Thailand to see the royal palaces and not going for the beaches (nowhere near the royal palaces). Same applies here (see 1). Image
3/ Those who want to justify the monarchy and the obscene sums of money they get directly or in tax loopholes can crack out the tourism myth. They have no other credible practical excuse left. But the media shouldn’t let this claim go unchecked let alone repeat it uncritically.

Labour have been consistently been making two claims about their NHS plans:
1) They will scrap the non dom tax
2) They will use it to fund the biggest expansion of the NHS workforce
As the media can’t be bothered to, I’ve fact checked this on this thread
1/13 Image
1) Labour ISN’T scrapping the non dom tax loophole it’s replacing it with a new tax break because they want “to attract top international talent”. In no understanding of the English language are “scrapping” and “replacing” the same thing.
Source theguardian.com/news/2022/apr/… Image
2) Will Labour’s new tax loophole for Non Dons raise enough for the “biggest expansion of the NHS workforce”?
So far Labour has not detailed what it’s new tax loop hole will look like. On Labour’s own figures (see above) the total scrapping of the current loophole will

1/ For the #Budget you'll hear both Tories and Labour as well the media say things like "we haven't got the money". The truth is we do have money, lots of it. The Tories alone have burnt through hundreds of billions, pure waste. This thread lists some of the worst wastes.
2/ £50 billion wasted on Cameron's NHS reforms. They found the money for that but not for fair pay rises for NHS staff.
Details: everydoctor.org.uk/blog/nhs-refor…
3/ £14.7 billion wasted on Johnson's failed projects and deals
