In future history classrooms, students will likely be told the tale of the Mass Genocide of the population of Palestine by the USA,Israel, EU and the UK
How they funded the bombs and lied as babies are murdered
Cheered on by mainstream media and silent complicit snivelling MPs.
It will be taught as a harbinger of what is erupting into the most pivotal crisis facing Western establishment politics in half a century: the chasm between ordinary people and the elites.
The people of the world are demanding this Stops..this Genocide Ends
And lives are saved

There is an obsession that the national debt must be repaid. Assuming it is properly calculated (and I have real doubt about that) it’s coming on for £2,400 billion. Knowing what makes this up is really important. Then we can decide if we really want to repay it. Stay with me….
Around £200bn of the national debt is made up of National Savings & Investments. That's things like Premium Bonds and the really safe savings accounts older people tend to appreciate. So why do we want to force these people into riskier savings accounts? I don't think we do.

Read this and tell me what you think of 'Compassionate Conservatism':
The following is merely a sample.
George Scollen, age unknown. Took his own life after the government closed the Remploy factory he had worked in for 40 years.
Nicholas Peter Barker, 51. Shot himself after being told his benefits were being stopped. He was unable to work after a brain haemorrhage left him paralysed down one side.

At the 1906 general election, 29 Labour MPs were elected to the House of Commons. This group included 2 engineers, 3 miners, 2 shipwrights, a shoemaker, a cooper, 2 textile workers, 2 gas workers, 2 railwaymen, 3 compositors, a steel smelter, a journalist and an iron moulder.
Disillusioned people are already looking for targets for their outrage.
The Left needs to point them in the right direction, away from the current scapegoats of migrants and unions and toward the economic roots of their suffering.
The Tories and exploitative Capitalism

The neoliberal movement is probably the least understood and the most important-to-understand movement in the last century precisely because people believe so much of its BS without even knowing what it is and was - and how they came to believe this bullshit in the first place
Neoliberalism can be traced to the 20's
During WW1,cooperation between government & industry conferred a new legitimacy on state regulation, supervision and planning
Neoliberalism arose not to rehabilitate free markets but to“inoculate capitalism against the threat of democracy”
