Posted on Sat, 14 Sep 2024

Absolutely.  And they almost resolutely ignore that.  Corporations like Amazon and Google, too, who use our buildings and infrastructure and get away with paying no or little tax.  It defeats me how it's allowed to happen.  I guess it comes down...

Posted on Sat, 14 Sep 2024

He's not kidding me - just as Blair didn't.  Labour is Labour in name only now.   As a lifelong socialist, my conscience is clear in not helping this wanker get elected.  Well said, Yutka.

Thanks, Di.  I'll never forget that moment.  It didn't take long after this, incidentally, for Greg to become my 'right-hand man'.  I ended up being able to get him to do anything!  It was wonderful.

Thanks for the cherries, too, eds!

Can't help wondering how much

Posted on Tue, 10 Sep 2024

Can't help wondering how much 'War is good for business' comes into decision-making, too.  Greased palms, donors with influence.  Snouts in the trough.  And fear of the media/establishment wielding the old 'anti-semitism' brickbats again.
