It starts off funny, and they you remember that these are the out of touch arseholes running the fucking country (she seems to be refusing to fuck off, but also even if she did, she’s far from the only right winged wanker who genuinely believes this shit).

The department that already has the blood of tens of thousands of poor and disabled people on its hand, by design? No.

Post office scandal was just a preview.

Yup, meanwhile those of us who point it out are told we are the problem, for not voting hard enough or whatever… 🙄

Like a bunch of overgrown children playing peekaboo - if we can’t see say it, it isn’t there! 🙄

We need much more restriction on what chemicals and materials can be produced in the first place. It’s no good waiting for generations until someone finds a causality in the data, there is public outrage, a campaign, a national law passed and then an international agreement. And there’s no way to clean this stuff up once it’s out there.

No, what we need is to abolish capitalism, because as long as these practices make money (and they do, lots), those who benefit don’t give a single fuck about the environment nor any of us or the plastics in our brains (or theirs for that matter, like with all the other rules and laws they’ve set up for society, they genuinely think they’re above being impacted because they can afford to be, in this case by being able to buy better food and get better healthcare), and they will NEVER act to improve things unless it makes them more money.

But let’s be honest, the gifts are only higher in value because other PMs didn’t declare what they were getting!

The longer you keep pretending he’s any better than any of the others, the harder the reality will smack you in the face when/if you’re eventually willing to acknowledge it - Starmer is in politics to serve Starmer.

I suppose it’s possible they won’t make a pig’s ear of it and that the two-ish party rigidity of our system could be broken

You mean it’s supposedly possible that the media won’t start an even worse smear campaign in continued and unrelenting defence of said system… I wouldn’t hold your breath…

I’m baffled that he’s imperiling all the effort

Lol, why? He got the job, that’s all he was after. He never even attempted to hide the fact that he is just another maintainer of the status quo.

I’ll be honest, I just looked it up and shared the link (E: and in case you didn’t notice, am not the op of the thread), I’m no good with texts that long so have never read the entire thing, though I have left the link open to read through at least this part once I have my cuppa, and have bookmarked the pdf for future reference, so I might have to get back to you on that 😁

Here you go, it’s in chapter 10 section 4, p175: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/download/pdf/Capital-Volume-I.pdf

It’s the title of the article lol

(I don’t need the rage reading the whole thing would induce, but if it’s in the title, and the sub-header, I assume it’s a key point of the article)

consumer-led recession

Yeah, it’s the consumers that are leading the economy, not those underpaying and overcharging said consumers to exist…🙄

Main character syndrome, anyone? 🙄

Edit to add, on a more serious note: If I was an NHS employee I’d be absolutely outraged at the implication that the quality of treatment they provide is dictated in any part at all by the patients’ political views, rather than by the (lack of) budget, training, and available staff, which Labour is complicit in.

Seriously, the more I think about it, the more annoyed this bullshit is making me.

Because war is a racket, the players aren’t relevant as long as the profits keep flowing.

Proud neoliberal does neoliberal things, more at 11… 🙄

And other people learn that targeting the most minor and irrelevant of symptoms expecting it to cure the disease is never going to accomplish anything, but rather give people false feelings of hope while doing nothing but waste time and resources while the cancer metastasises and gets significantly worse. ¯\(ツ)/¯

That doesn’t contradict a single thing I’ve said.

Right, because there is o information available out there for people to look up…

Those who care, already looked her up, those who don’t, won’t pay any more attention because of this.

not my money, not my choice, just my personal opinion… ¯(ツ)/¯

This is the sad truth.
