So @skynewss.bsky.social failed to cover Musk's N*zi salute. Have any other UK news broadcasters, or are we at the point where we normalise this shit now?

See also, the Nazi salutes are actually the fault of all the ‘hysterical wokies’ who explained exactly what was going to happen.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

This man has pocketed millions off the backs of thousands of bar staff, grafting through Christmas and NY for barely more than minimum wage. The very same man who was soaking up the sun in the Maldives, just weeks before his company scrapped the real living wage. www.spottednews.com/politics/tuc...

This experiment with letting a small handful of people amass most of the wealth in a society and then inflict something devastating on the world when they reach middle age and realize no one likes them seems to have run its 5000-year course. We might not need to run additional trials.

Truth & Lies. Mix Musk's interventions with Starmer's unpopularity, is it possible to separate the truth from the lies? (Strong language and adult themes.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R19...

There is a point that is often brought up to defend the rich, that the richest 1% pay 22.4% of tax. Which sounds like loads, until you realize they get 63% of the money. Then you realize their taxes are far too low.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social and his phone-in contributors knocking it out of the park this morning.👏

Terrific points.

🏴🏳️ Worth noting again how @worflags.org.uk managed to get their display spot on & pitch the mood just right. 🏟️ 👑 The Kevin Keegan display will be special when it eventually arrives, but urging #NUFC to "Get into them" perfectly encapsulated what followed under the SJP lights. 💡

George Carlin got it

Nigel Farage loves open borders - for the super rich youtu.be/SA8T29zWNCw?...

“It is beyond surreal that someone writes in a national newspaper that Liz Truss was a genius and Keir Starmer should walk the plank.” @mrjamesob.bsky.social believes that Brexiteers are ‘still not ready to admit their mistake’ and so their response is to ‘overthrow the Government'.

Blessing your feed with a picture of SJP. 😍

🤣

1. Consent in our pseudo-democracies is strained at the best of times, but it hangs on the belief that there is some kind of justice: through inquiries, tribunals, sometimes even the law, powerful people who commit crimes against us will one day be held to account. But what if this no longer works?🧵

Reform UK, what they say and what they do.

The problem with Margaret Thatcher is that she was a scumbag who looted the UK for her Neo-Conservative buddies, and she gave some crumbs to cover it up. In her 11 years in charge she sold enough national assets to fund the NHS for 50 years. What did you get? A discount council house, at most.

Please take 2mins to sign and share. A petition for the family of Captain Tom, to be investigated for misleading/fiddling the public. #CaptainTom www.change.org/.../initiate....

A useful thread about the 'Farage riots'.

Narrator voice: “Little did he know…”

BREAKING: Farmers have broken through police barricades in London, but police are reluctant to act because they only get heavy handed with tiny women at candle lit vigils x

Why won't anyone think of the poor, rich farmers like Jeremy Clarkson and Andrew Lloyd-Webber? #farmerprotests #taxtherich #ClarksonIsACunt

International break all most over (there's too many!) Looking forward to the real stuff coming back this weekend. #NUFC #HowayTheLads

The protestors want to call it "the tractor tax" because calling it "the inheritance tax protest" would turn off public opinion. The tractors coming into London today, in fact, pay no road tax, no congestion charge, and no ULEZ. Exempt from all.

BREAKING: Counter-terrorism police have explained they won't be visiting Laurence Fox over his recent social media posts because they've got their hands full dealing with 60 year old women who post "free Palestine" x

Fair play. Lets hope NUFC follow suit.

40% of UK Farmland is owned by billionaires. Now you know why they are so angry it will be taxed.

Proud. #NUFC

I stand with my friend Sangita.

Gimme Gimme Gimme ….🎶 #NUFC

How many of these do we have?

So, farmer are going to strike in protest at the coming rise in Inheritance Tax. So I guess rich Tory landowners do think it's OK to strike, when it's something that affects them! And if they go a 'glow slow' protest in cities in coming weeks - does that make them domestic terrorists. same as ER?

Get following @spottednews.bsky.social everyone 👌

Well done NUFC's Lewis Hall on getting his first England cap. :) #NUFC #NewcastleUnited #HowayTheLads
