In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents. It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years. There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

Why has Rachel Reeves called in bankers to advise on the NHS? youtu.be/00MtdwnWfB0?... Rachel Reeves must think the only job a government has is to balance its books. There can be no other explanation for the insanity of calling in bankers to advise on the NHS.

Just to make it clear in the last 24 hours Israel has sunk Syria's navy which had already surrendered and invaded Syria, which hasn't attacked them. All to 'keep the peace'.

Nobody ever planted a tree in this photo. It was a working gravel pit 30 years ago. We need to get over our obsession with planting trees and let nature do the job. The results are just SO much better. It's also about realising we are not, in fact, central to everything. 🌍

Human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. Please remember this

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer. Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer. We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is. It will never reach you.

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'.

Starmer is partnering up with Blackrock, the most criminally corrupt shadow bank on the planet who employ people to discredit net zero. Their next move will be to privatise nations, do you get that? Public services are small potatoes to these people. 'Countrypreneurship' has found its home in SEZs.

There doesn't seem to be any MSM coverage of Starmer's astonishing announcement that the Labour Party are in partnership with Blackrock, the most corrupt corporation on the planet who will privatise the UK with the help of 74 deregulated SEZs and 12 Freeports. State capture, and not a peep.
