Neoliberalism is destroying the "West" almost as quickly as fascism is 🤦

Let's acknowledge these states for what they truly are: dictatorships concealing themselves behind a façade of democracy. Both the UK and the US should be considered rogue states. One does not threaten their own citizens in this manner.

Yet Members of parliament and the HOL can get off with being the most corrupted workers in the UK. Let’s have a look at Michelle Mones bank account. I fucking hate this fucked up world.

Personally wish I could live without state support just to stop hounding & constant harassment from DWP. They took 6 yrs State Pension from 3.8 million #50sWomen & keep on taking (no respite when retired) until 0 left. The more people depend on the "State" whether working or not the worse it gets

The Government takes money from British people under "false pretences".
We are forcibly taxed on our earnings & just about everything else in our day to day lives specifically to provide income to Govt to spend on "us" when we need it.
It's OUR money not theirs!

No government agency or other organisation should be able to monitor your bank account, unless their is completing investigative evidence of criminal involvement. Even then it should be approve by a judge.

This is a slippery slope, who do they target next?

Both Sir Kid Starver and Farage are tools of the international bankers.

Neither represents the wishes of the people.

Banks don't need more power over people. Investigations are one thing but witch hunts are another.

As long as we can spy on the accounts of MPs, that's ok.

As PUBLIC SERVANTS, if anyone's bank accounts should be scrutinised, let it be THEIRS!

Off you go, Keir Starmer.

Let's see it!

Especially as the tories rich pigs stole so much from the public funds while partying as people died. Come on Labour, get at the wealthy tax dodgers.
