I notice that Dispatches on the C4 at 22.00, have a program examining the reasons for banning Palestine Acton and the consequent arrest of 2700 people. Won’t be able to watch it live as I don’t have a licence but I will be interested to see what the arguments put forward by the maladministration are..

No, it's costing more & more b/c more people are getting sick (Covid, Long Covid, no treatments for ME, long waiting lists for ops, poor mental health services. etc.) & we're not doing anything to cure them. We're complaining the house is flooded while running the bath taps at full pelt #dispatches
The benefits system is regarded as "broken" entirely b/c it's seen as costing too much, & that's not b/c it's too generous to the individual or too easy to claim, because quite the opposite (enjoy a 40 page form to fill in? a "medical" that's more like a high pressure job interview?") #dispatches
Fraser Nelson's always been a right-wing scumbag. Mates with Cameron. Ironically the Cameron/Osborne government replaced DLA with PIP, because apparently DLA was "broken" (i.e. too generous in their eyes). Now PIP's apparently broken, too. #dispatches

Your daily reminder to sign the petition asking Parliament to look into the rental income earned by the Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall (i.e. Chuck and Wills). Because they're not taxed on the funds they're taking from taxpayer-funded orgs. And that ain't right.

Anyways, please sign.

Petition: Review of the Royal Duchies, Crown estate and sovereign grant

To carry out a full and comprehensive review of the Crown estate, royal duchies and the sovereign grant. This is in light of recent reports about the large rental income made from Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall renting land to the NHS and the armed forces.

As the US, Western imperial nations along with their west Asian collaborators create a mass global misinformation propaganda campaign to discredit the Axis of Resistance in #Lebanon and now #Syria , continue to stand with those fighting against empire and genocide. ☝🏽
