I wonder how much longer that article will remain online.. thank God for the Internet Archive. There’s a columnist on the financial times who remarked that the UK was a few islands of wealth amidst an ocean of poverty.

Both the United States and the UK were the first targets/victims of neoliberalism, a conman’s ask that people surrender their sovereignty to the totalitarian rule of wealth.

That’s what privatization is. The rank and file have no say.
