  1. A bribe in politics could be an exchange either in money or goods and services in return for a specific action or influence on policy to benefit the person providing the bribe. A political donation could be viewed as a form of support to the political party or individual's existing policies without any direct expected return.

  2. Hopefully gold stores will not contain large amounts of tungsten within gold bars. Gold has many uses in industrial applications and apparently pure gold if superheated becomes a fine powder called monatomic gold that it's claimed can give those who consume it certain psychic abilities.

  3. Reform, Brexit Party and UKIP are Neoliberal freemarket Thatcherite parties created by Nigel Farage that support privatisation, deregulation and reducing public services and social security.

  4. Keir Starmer's New Labour will be replaced by Reform in 2029 that are even more hardline rightwing Thatcherite who support NHS privatisation, privatisation of public services and abolition of human rights. Reform will turn against the working class, the poor, the sick, the disabled after immigrants.

  7. WEF 4th Industrial Revolution and The Great Reset promote the policy that the elderly should not be an enduring burden on society an attitude shared by disciples of the WEF.

  8. Available atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are 0.04%. When the atmospheric carbon dioxide levels fall to 0.02% plant photosynthesis stops and available levels of atmospheric oxygen will collapse. Net zero carbon dioxide reduction is planetary terraforming to be suboptimal for human existence.

  9. To be fair to Labour they are recycling old, failed unworkable policies in use by previous governments over many decades.

  10. 45 Years of Thatcherism and people still believe more Thatcherism will solve the problems caused by decades of Thatcherism because Thatcherites like Reform claim Thatcherism isn't Thatcherite enough.

  11. Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves have privatised public sector pension schemes by allowing BlackRock to take over management of consolidated pension schemes. UK government could fully fund all its spending through Quantitative Easing from the UK government owned Bank of England.

  12. Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) will mean the imposition of the WEF Great Reset agenda of full control over all major aspects of people's lives and will mean every transaction is subject to approval based on a Chinese style social credit system where people who don't comply including medical treatment compliance lose their ability to spend, travel access with 15 Minute Cities, goods and service restrictions, carbon quotas. Central Bank Digital Currency will restrict how and where and what the money can be spent being restricted to small geographic locations within designated 15 Minute Cities and be time limited.

  15. Politicians and Parliament need urgent reformation to be tough on politicians. 1. All politicians bank accounts to be scrutinised to be monitored in the public interest. 2. All politicians expenses to be paid in arrears with vouchers. 3. Ban on politicians second homes. 4. All politicians required to use official student accommodation type housing whilst in London. 5. Politicians able to use public transport to be required to use public transport travelling between constituency offices and Parliament. 6. Political household wealth cap of £10 million to include all household wealth including property and include political candidates. Existing MPs and politicians with household wealth in excess of £10 million or any other amount agreed by a public referendum could be replaced with fresh by-elections with those within the political wealth cap. 7. Benefits and pension increases linked and backdated to percentage increases in MPs salaries, MPs pensions. 8. Recall petition for MPs to include ability to recall MPs and implement fresh by-elections for supporting policies causing poverty, hardship and cuts to social security benefits and pensions. 9. Ban on MPs second or more jobs except for qualifications, certification and licences and excluding ministerial roles and Parliamentary work. 10. MPs required to attend constituency office for a minimum period per week, every week excluding periods for leave, sickness, holidays but excluding additional jobs determined by public referendum.

  16. 50 Years of the Neoliberal ideology known has Thatcherism, privatisation, unrestrained free market policies and austerity with Universal Credit and benefit cuts has destroyed all the policies, structures and systems in place to prevent the destruction of society and prevent the possibility of revolution.

  17.  @Redf322  Yes, indeed Nigel Farage supports NHS privatisation and said those who could not get a GP appointment could go private under Reform plans and proposed a mutual healthcare model. However any mutual model differentiates between members and non members and mutualisation of public services is still privatisation.

  18. The biggest cause of poor mental health issues is poverty and fear of loss of income, not being able to pay bills, not enough money for groceries, clothing footwear and potential homelessness. One of the biggest causes of poverty in the UK is very low benefits, benefit cuts, benefits sanctions, benefit debts, benefit loans and stress caused by DWP where every encounter with DWP could risk a benefits claimant losing benefits money and potentially becoming homeless and losing everything. MPs and Peers would only feel similar stress if they were banned from accessing their wealth and that every encounter with their constituents and every visit to Parliament meant the MP or Peer risks losing their job under instant dismissal in other words it's the same situation for many poor benefit claimants reliant on social security benefits.

  20. There needs to be a referendum, does the UK align with the EU or the US? The EU is more forgiving of the UK than the US.

  21. The Labour Party is a lost cause as it has been destroyed by Neoliberal ideology of Thatcherism. The Workers Party is the closest to the original traditional Labour Party. The leadership and top four levels of HM Treasury, Bank of England and DWP need to be given golden redundancy packages as could all British government departments. The leadership of these organisations should be replaced with new people who are not narcissists, not sociopaths, not psychopaths and not Machiavellian. The new people in the top four levels of leadership must have an understanding and lived experience of everyday lives for the majority of people in the UK not from elite fee paying British public school system and not those with any PPE degrees from Neoliberal Philosophy, Politics and Economics courses.

  22. Fully nationalised infrastructure services for the public sector, the abolition of PFI Schemes and conversions of existing PFI Schemes to traditional design, cost and build contracts with maintenance and operation by the public sector will save government hundreds of billions of pounds over decades.

  24. Banks and bankers are being consulted by the Thatcherite New Labour MPs to privatise the entire state run public services and thereby make the New Labour politicians multimillionaires because they don't have any bandwidth for anything other than they are told by the US billionaires who seek to carve up British public services like a US Thanksgiving Turkey.

  26. North Sea oil and gas revenue were not used to create a sovereign wealth fund and Thatcherism has resulted in the destruction of the coal mining industry and loss of heavy industries such as steel, shipbuilding and vehicle manufacturing.

  27. Devotees of Reform and Nigel Farage will be happy that the UK becomes another US State under US Presidential control as they can still have their British flag as the US State flag, the anthem as a US State anthem whilst all public services in the UK are privatised and owned by US companies and corporations with trillions of pounds in wealth from the UK and its people transferred to the wealthiest on the planet.

  32. Proposals for land value tax must be scrapped. If land value tax is implemented then land value tax must only be paid on land holdings worth more than £10 million by the owner of the land. If land value taxation is implemented it must only start with the biggest land holdings first and ending with land value holdings above £10 million. The world's biggest landowner is the British King with an estimated land holding of 6.6 billion acres according to the New Statesman. Property tax is much more fairer than land value tax.

  36. Margaret Thatcher's governments are responsible for starting the Rip Off Britain Project using privatisation and deregulation that will have continued for almost 50 years by the time of next general election. British privatisation is the selling off publicly owned companies, assets and resources owned by all British citizens without giving all British citizens full informed consent and without giving British citizens a vote on privatisation. British governments have never owned nationalised companies as the British government has only ever been responsible for their management and operations on behalf of the true owners the British citizens. Privatisation is the equivalent of selling the property of the property owners back to the property owners for a fee paid by the property owners and then charging the property owners more money to use the property owners property with increased charges to manage the billing process and pay others by the use of dividends from additional costs to the property owners. In other words privatisation is a scam on the people.

  40. Billionaires in the US avoid tax through tax free charitable foundations and these same billionaires then use their foundations to promote their evil antihuman agenda. The Federal Reserve Bank charges interest on US Government borrowing a ridiculous situation where the US national debt increases by US $1 trillion every 100 days currently at US $35 trillion. The Federal Reserve Bank is not federal, not a reserve and not a bank but is privately owned.
