Trump gloating about repealing laws that protect citizens, especially children, is vomit making. Of course the vast majority of scientists are wrong and Donald knows more than they do. He also quotes a figure of $2400 per car in reduced costs – quite how that figure is arrived at is yet another mystery Meanwhile even the fucking Guardian is publishing nonsense from the Tony Blair Foundation criticising the UK green energy policy. Tony Blair who is also working for Saudi Arabia and is to the right of many Conservatives! Geopolitics are extremely uncertain at the moment and having an independent source of power is plain commonsense and protects our children.
Ratcliffe gives us even more reason to dislike ManU. Recently moved to Monaco to avoid UK taxes (whilst asking for subsidies from the Government and the EU for his companies) he has sort of apologised “If I upset anyone I am sorry” non-apology way. The timing of his racist comments was designed to influence the upcoming by-election in Gorton.
And time to get controversial again, the above is common sense – durh. Two support groups have described the UK’s pitiful paternity pay for break ups affecting thousands of families. How has the shift occured – I was 23 when married and my then wife 17, yes she was pregnant, and no I was not a rich kid with a trust fund, we were broke, but did not expect a handout from the state or anyone else. Relationships breakdown, sadly I know. But my children are the best and kind hardworking members of society, not perfect, but not expecting handouts. Are the people moaning also the ones who complain about snow blocking roads, whilst also complaining about taxes. Perhaps people need to take responsibility for their lives rather than expect others to do it. This is not turning into a right wing trope – I believe in taxing the rich and a more equitable society, but not one based on charity and submission, racism and power.
