It has been class war for a long time, for those at the back.
You need to pick your side.

‘I’m just tall’ became something of a catchphrase last night. But it does beg the question - if a group of benignly curious queer people can’t tell, how will the self-appointed toilet police? https://twitter.com/_natashadevon/status/1560063322720030720
From Anne Pettifor:
Asset price inflation and the consequent rise in the wealth of the 1% is so normalised, it is scarcely discussed – even by the 99%. But we have lived through forty years of what Whitney Baker rightly calls “hyperfinancialisation” and an orgy of money-funded speculation. “We know nothing but relentless asset appreciation.”
The rich cannot believe their forty years of ‘easy money’ luck.

This is one of the most important things you will see this year, possibly this decade if not longer. Listen and learn.

Yes! Personally I regard it as a day wasted when I haven't cancelled history, values and women. In a woke kind of a way, obviously. https://twitter.com/AdamBienkov/status/1559607663792721927
Those Angry at Rushdie’s Stabbing Have Been Missing In Action Over a Far Bigger Threat to our Freedom https://www.mintpressnews.com/salman-rushdie-stabbing-julian-assange-freedom/281757/#.Yvyz5mUmv8M.twitter
Sentence I just got from an article in the Financial Times about public sector pay:
Fresh evidence of the pressing need to recruit and retain more staff was highlighted in new research by the Health Foundation on Wednesday. It found that the NHS in England could face a shortfall of about 38,000 full-time equivalent registered nurses by 2023-24 if it is to continue to deliver pre-pandemic levels of care.
This shit cannot go on.
The fact that someone could write this and not feel any apparent shame is quite shocking

Water companies have borrowed £56bn to pay £72bn of dividends to their owners and directors have helped themselves to £58m. So firms are heavily in debt because owners borrowed to pay themselves large unwarranted sums. It is how private equity often works https://bit.ly/3R3Ozp9

So debased and ignorant has political discussion become, and so weirdly have conspiracy theories spiralled that some people now associate leftwing ideas with that famous Trotskyist vanguard, the, er .... World Economic Forum 🤦 https://twitter.com/James1357910_/status/1559480435469697025
