The year of the bully – is it stupid to blame Trump for the latest outbreak of violence between the two nuclear armed countries. The Indian in my shop was bubbling with pride that India has launched missiles against Pakistan. yes there was a terrorist attack on India last week – but what happened to diplomacy? Modi is in the Trump mode of being a bigot/bully as he has already shown within India. Does Apple really want to transfer iPhone production to India?
I am ever more bemused by Israel – how the fuck do they get away with it? They announce that they will destroy Gaza and basically ethnically cleanse the area – Is this for Trumps Mediterranean resort? It is fucking insane whatever! Oh, and the UK continues to make illegal arms sales, lying where necessary. Another example of this government carrying on the malpractise of the last one. It is no surprise that voters are looking for alternatives to both major parties – whilst the gullible vote for a private company takeover headed by kermit – the sensible are looking to Green and LibDem – although they have yet to prove themselves in government.
On the above – are the Labour and Conservative managers confident that the status quo will persist by sticking with First Past the Post, or will they see the advantages of PropRep? Or are the Conservatives happy to become Reform? Is my belief that the UK population is generally around the middle politically, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right. With PR it would seem more likely that people would vote for smaller parties like the greens, but also reform/cons. Are Lab/Con hoping that Reform will split as it is showing signs of.
Interesting times, will Starmer hold Labour together despite his huge majority – dissatisfaction with his leadership is growing. Ed Miliband is under fire from RWPress so must be doing something right! Angela Rayner has not made the front page of the Mail or Telegraphbrecently – come on Angela – stair the bastards up!
And then the water companies. For fuck sake just nationalise the twats. Do not believe their excuses – I have predicted a great summer – not through algorithms – just common sense, a few shit ones are followed by a glorious one. How many houses and factories have been built? How many new reservoirs, by how much has leakeage been reduced? Capitalism is supposed to be about the survival of the best and demise of the worst. How fucking useless do the water companies have to be to go bust? Those Uni’s and pension funds will just have to take the loss. Workers will be re-employed whilst directors can be prosecuted. The public will support this . How many £billion have been paid out to shareholders and directors? And Labour will not nationalise them ! Why not, some bullshit about the UK being a safe place to invest? Let investors see that we are not a country to rip off (Trumpism!). A badly organised company is shit and will fail. The water companies cannot claim any major climate or environmental crisis! Just incompetence and avarice.
