In Britain, they came first for the Socialists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Socialist. Then they came for the Miner's Union and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Miner. Then they came for the Rail worker's union and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Rail worker. Then they came for the Nurse's union and I didn't speak up because I was a factory worker. Then they came for me--and by that time no one was left to speak up...

Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of cash; Four and twenty kleptocrats stealing from our tax. When the country realised, they all began to sing, Get the Tories out of office or they'll sell off everything!

@anglonorse2943 Agreed my friend, with no right to strike, a lack of legal aid, intrusive surveillance, electoral reforms, human rights and freedom of speech under attack; we aren't that far from it. At least serfs could warm their houses with a log fire and forage for food (provided it wasn't on a landowner's estate).

Why hasn't the good old BBC pictured Boris with a Russian ushanka-hat yet?

@justonecornetto80 £13.5 billion was spent in the first year of test and trace. It's been allocated £37 billion for the first two years alone. If you think the taxpayer will get any of the £37 billion back, you haven't been paying attention...

@Mocking_Muppets I suffer from late-stage terminal sarcasm :)

Thank you for the extra info Phil I have copied the data and will be using the new figures and maybe adding them to my blog and ebook later on. I have been on an NHS waiting list for over a year and was sent a letter today to confirm I still needed my appointment. While I understand why this could be necessary it's extremely frustrating as until diagnosis I can't get treatment and have to buy my own meds. It's a catch 22.

The reason the NHS is on its knees is because of a gentle breeze caressing the Himalayas every Tuesday afternoon around 3pm...

lol methinks filtering has clobbered me again "Neoliberal centrists ruined Labour's reputation in Scotland more than they did in the rest of the UK. I certainly don't blame my Celtic cousins for their righteous condemnation."

Top ten Brexit benefits: . . . . . . . . . .

Trojan horse that if succeeds will set a precedent that will undermine all our human rights...

I wonder how many pensioners and at-risk people perished for those profits. I haven't used central heating in two years because of the cost, these companies need to reimburse their customers as we have little choice but to pay one or another a similar amount...
17
We need more bankers in politics! Especially in the top jobs like PM or Chancellor of the Exchequer for instance. I mean our economy is sure to grow beyond all expectations and inflation and the cost of goods is bound to fall. National debt will surely be paid off quickly and definitely not increase dramatically...
17
A surprising headline in the mail? lol. The tabloids feed us the views they want us to conform to. Rather than those that exist. No disrespect to Phil I always appreciate his analysis, just trying to wake British people up. Def-eat the rich! they increase their net worth while the hands that create their profit suffer cold and hunger...

@ony583 I wonder if Boris the dog is as obedient as his namesake...

That's a fishous rumour! You'll walk the plankton for that Sir! Sorry I should dolphinately scale back on the fish puns. Seriously for cod's hake you don't have to be a brain sturgeon to come up with a few puns. Brexit is a load of pollocks it's krilling our economy. I think the Tories should have left it to salmon else. Anyways, can't keep carping on about it or I'll give myself a haddock. I know not the right time or plaice...

I think we should continue debating Tory lies and analysing the voting structure, lack of media plurality, corruption and cronyism. After all direct action like national strikes or uprising may be the only way out of a corrupt system, but 4 decades of debate sounds like more fun...

@dougbritton3239 It's curious that the Tories always include the super-rich and themselves in their 'help the poorest' financial packages.
16
@philipnorthfield Unfortunately for you we have this thing called statistics, like the fact that over 1/3rd of the British people live in working poverty. We also have this thing called logic which states that if they take a better job someone has to do their poverty-wage job and so nothing actually changes. Also, at any given point in time, there is a certain percentage of unemployed people. The reason for unemployment is to keep wages low. I'll let you talk more bolx now if you like... PS when criminals make laws based on personal gain and those with wealth avoid the consequences of their actions, justice becomes moot. (Edit: My apologies for not recognising sarcasm)

@NinjaVestos I am, due to prolonged exposure to Tory BS I'm now suffering the late stages of terminal sarcasm...

I say bail them out and then once it starts to turn a profit let them reprivatise it, that'll teach them a lesson. Erm...

@G_C340 The joke is an old political one, but glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

Hope the live streaming goes well and especially hope that there is a focus on turning debate into action. We all know the system is corrupt and trying to work within that system to enforce change is as difficult as climbing a greased hill with bananas for slippers. It seems 'one step forward, two steps back' is an optimist's pipe dream. We are sliding downhill in rights, freedoms, living standards and political power. Anyways enough of me ranting, All the best for the future with the live streams Phil.

On the contrary, I love the way Brexit has improved the lives of Brits up and down the country. How smooth the transition was and how quickly all the border, import and export issues were solved. I was especially pleased with how little money was spent on administration and how Britain's standing improved on the global stage, especially in Europe. There were virtually no financial losses and the pound keeps soaring ever higher. Britain has become unified and we all feel a closer kinship with the world. It's like a dream come true and there were hardly any teething problems as you'd expect with such a vast change. So glad we didn't lose any of the trading deals and relationships that took decades to accomplish. An all-around success story for Britain... ;-)

Economic vampirism set to 110%...

Unfortunately, it's like the head of an omnipotent medusa, no matter how many heads you chop off new ones keep growing, just as repulsive and snakelike as the originals... The idea just keeps steamrollering on, no matter how terrible they are, they just sacrifice a head; so that the whole continues to live...

@JeremyNQSM Especially energy prices, I no longer have to worry about charging my phone and can easily afford to use the lights in the room I'm occupying. Of course, the fridge still stays off as I wouldn't want to be thought of as extravagant.

I think it ended up costing around £37 billion. They spent £552 per person (£37bn ÷ 67 million) in the UK and achieved a failure! Seriously they could have bought the whole country solid gold medical trackers for that kinda money...

@mariogmajner6549 Are you referencing this: Boris the man who was born with a silver foot in his mouth. He has the backbone of a chocolate éclair, the IQ of a crack-addicted hamster and all the charisma of a used tissue. The only man, who after selling his soul had to give the Devil a refund... in roubles.
14
They've been shooting squirt pistols for a decade, their only advantage is that they've been significantly amplified by the media. Now they just coast from one repackaged failure to the next...

@verttikoo2052 I struggled with dyslexia through my childhood and then started to read after I left school, slowly at first. Maybe I wasn't that bad but I managed to correct most of my problems through constant reading. Many letters and words I used to misread, mix up etc, my brain autocorrects now and I'm still learning at 49 via online spellchecker/grammar plugins. I realise that may not work for everyone, especially those with severe dyslexia but after 30+ years of reading sci-fi, fantasy, news and politics I struggle far less.

I agree and have liked all 4 comments so far that have been filtered.
13
@anglonorse2943 I think you may be onto something, I was riding my Unicorn in the sunlit uplands earlier today and the same thought occurred to me :)

Though Blair will flinch and Starmer sneers. We'll keep the red flag flying here! 🚩

@noelconway2589 lol nice pun and thank you!
13
@hypsyzygy506 The massive increase in wages far above the rate of inflation (which is at an all-time low) was a huge boon to my spending power. I can now buy bread, milk and cheese once a month and have enough money left over for a 10p mixup!

The media control the narrative, the Tories control the media. Most working people are taught from birth that it's not polite to discuss religion and politics. We are supposed to leave that to our so called 'betters'. By betters, I mean the barely sentient entitled genetic sludge from the shallow end of the British gene pool who are brought up on inherited wealth and Elitism.

@acolli777 If only, mass public outrage seems limited in Britain to immigration, celebrity gossip and what the media narratives dictate, unfortunately.
13
@bigdaz7272 lol I like that, guerilla energy action.
12
@markwelch3564 Agreed, I have no idea why your comment was filtered but I had to change the filter setting to see it. This happens to 80% of my comments too.
12
@Bazzacuda Agreed 100% on all points. The Overton window has been forced to the right for decades and is dangerously poised to enable authoritarian corporatocracy.
12
@tomsheppard378 lol if you ain't satire you should be. It was so cold last week I saw a Tory MP with his hands in his own pockets...
12
@peterebel7899 lol like Italy with the far right, America with the Orange Oligarch? We may be one of the worst here in the UK. But the whole globe fell into a parallel universe a decade or more ago when the truth became optional and the far right started popping up goose-stepping to their revisions of history :)
12
@anglonorse2943 That's his surname his first name is Thereareno...
12
I personally favour pitchforks at dawn...
12
Tories are like a pirate ship with the cannons facing down, every time they fire a shot they sink themselves. Unfortunately, the media acts as a float.
12
@bbasleigh6149 Thank you for that accurate statement, no need for a question mark...
12
@not6559 Do you mean the man who was born with a silver foot in his mouth? The one with the backbone of a chocolate eclair and all the charisma of a used tissue? The only man who after selling his soul had to give the devil a refund? in roubles...
12
@Geffo555 Now some people may argue that Brexit was the equivalent of cancelling your direct debits, defaulting on your mortgage, throwing your mobile phone in the bath while it's charging, setting fire to your house, driving your car into the canal and then running off into the woods half-naked screaming "I'm the wild man of Britain, hear me roar!" or something...
12
@markwelch3564 lol shortening our life spans and dipping their hands in our wallets has that effect on all of us, so I empathise strongly :)
