Sunak’s family firm signed a billion-dollar deal with BP before PM opened new North Sea licences

Crime?!? These are perfectly legal deals. Knowledge is power and everyone’s going to die anyway. The man is simply providing for his poor family while he has some power. It’s not his fault if these IT surveillance people happen to peek at his documents (heavy /s)
It’s scary how much knowledge these folks have access to…
Historically, there certainly have been such limits, but enforcement of them required involving a rather large group of people with some combination of torches, molotov cocktails, pitchforks, swords/knives tar, feathers, guns, ropes, and guillotines.
They got a bit messy.
Line him and his family up against the wall and shoot them.
I’m done with platitudes and civil courtesies, let’s slay some wealth hoarding dragons.
The Indian IT company is owned by the prime minister’s wife’s family although Sunak has insisted the matter is of “no legitimate public interest”.
Yes sir. None of beeswax, m’lud. Understood.
Peasants could match the Kings in a lot of ways. The force Kings could apply without using peasants was limited to knights that were dispersed across the country and a small number of professional guards/soldiers. The weapons these forces used were more powerful than the peasants but could be overcome through sheer numbers. If the peasants withheld their labour, the Kings would starve and the kingdom would fall apart.
Most states now have a large professional police force and military that is extremely well equipped with weapons and intelligence that modern peasantry cannot come close to matching. These forces are mobile enough to deploy rapidly throughout the jurisdiction. And the labour of the peasants has largely been offshored or supplanted with temporary foreign work.
Kings were right to fear peasants in the past because the peasants represented a credible threat. This is no longer the case in the modern world. We are entirely at the mercy of those in power to play by our imaginary rules for democracy. If those in power choose to ignore those rules, the rest of us peasants have very little effective recourse.
Let’s not do the racist bit…
I can be just as ridiculous and say “god another white guy. All they do is colonize and propagte an imperialist attitude. They topple governments for their own wealth and the wealth of their cronies. It’s the same story again and again and again throughout history, White Western Man uses force of government to enrich himself at the expense of an entire country of people. We have the same problem with white people in the US!”
(I’m white by the way lol not that it makes racism correct.)
I think you completely missed the point of my comment.
It was simply to state racism is ridiculous.
Indian people are not a problem just as white people aren’t a problem. PEOPLE are a problem when they’re lead by greed and selfishness. An Indian person can be as much of a shithead as any white guy, African guy, whatever. It’s individuals, not whole races.
I was talking about racism being ridiculous and using an example made specifically to be ridiculous. I don’t actually hold what I said to be a real truth.
People do shitty things, white, black, Australian to Japanese, it doesn’t matter. People are shitty, not whole races/nationalities.
I would argue it’s rich people and not politicians in general. We have some kind of poor politicians (<1 million) and the never do bullshit like that while we also have rich politicians which all the time do stuff like that.
There are politicians that really try to serve the people and there are politicians that are only in the game for money and power and we need to sort that out!
