β€˜Artists, directors and actors have raised the alarm about what they describe as a rigged system preventing working-class talent thriving in their industries after analysis showed almost a third of major arts leaders were educated privately’ www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Are you fed up of the cold, grey skies we've seen over the past few weeks? Milder air is on the way, but wet and windy weather is also in the forecast for the end of the week πŸ“ˆ

With milder air pushing in, temperatures are going to be much higher on Thursday compared to today πŸ“ˆ

Don't people understand what's happening in the UK? Your homes are now assets for the government and private equity to repossess via Compulsory Purchase Orders (CPOs) in order to pursue 'economic growth'...at all costs. 1/2

The US already owns most of UK industry, and it has militarily occupied 11 RAF bases. This is why Trump is ordering Starmer to spend 5% of GDP on military defence, which is?…£80 billion

What have I been saying for the last 5 years? Deregulated SEZs and Freports are the gateways to privatising the UK. BlackRock will privatise Britain – our housing, education, health, nature and green energy – with our taxpayer money as sweetener. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

As someone who has been diving into deregulated free zones for the last 8 years or so, Atossa Araxia Abrahamian's book about this rarely covered subject The Hidden Globe is a must-read. Reminder - 74 SEZs and 12 Freeports are being installed across the UK by the duopoly.

Special Economic Zones (SEZs) carve out exceptions and protections for businesses but crucially not for ordinary people entrapped inside the free zones.

Ask your family members, your neighbours, friends, and work colleagues if they know what SEZs, Freeports and charter cities are, they will look at you like you have two heads.

Another troll to block.

Liverpool SEZ/Freeport signed off by Labour's Mayor Steve Rotheram is a mess of private equity buyouts and glossy brochure failures. My article is free to read on Substack. open.substack.com/pub/european...

European elites whining about Trump handed America's Palantir their data, let America's McKinsey 'reorganise' their social democracies, sold off their economies to America's Blackrock and allowed America's big tech to infiltrate their minds. They vassal-stated themselves

Scavengers Reign is a stunning blend of sci-fi survival, psychological tension, and incredible animation. Read @aaronsjones.bsky.social full review below!

Second time through and Scavengers Reign has lost none of its wonder.
