@mrjamesob.bsky.social Pleased that at least one UK politician, Ed Davey is solidly speaking out, maybe you should invite him on to your show James?

Take a listen to Justin Trudeau’s speech today (it’s on YouTube, not the BBC etc). Compare and contrast his intelligent, measured and thoughtful speech, in two languages, to the USA President. One is a statesman and one is an embarrassment. It won’t be difficult to work which is which.

The Government plan is to temporarily renationalise Thames Water, for you to pay off its debts, and then to let someone else takeover so they can rob you, build up massive debts and do the same all over again. NO water should be NATIONALISED. RT if you agree.

We can't let British democracy turn into a plaything for overseas billionaires with short attention spans. At PMQs, I urged the Prime Minister to work with us to make sure power always sits with the voters, not wealthy foreign oligarchs.

“Just three companies, News Corp (Murdoch family), Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT, Viscount Rothermere) and Reach plc, control over 80% of daily newspaper circulation… The hyper-rich continue to invest huge sums in acquiring control of media” We need a free press - ie free from the billionaires.

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services. Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt. While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant per person of £10tn. That's how privatisation 'works'.
