The NHS could be and should be, well funded so that it might deliver for the people of this country. That it does not do so is a result of Tory policy choice, not necessity https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/03/27/the-nhs-could-be-and-should-be-well-funded-soi-that-it-might-deliver-for-the-people-of-this-country-that-it-does-not-do-so-is-a-result-of-tory-policy-choice-not-necessity/. NHS satisfaction ratings are at an all-time low. Both the Tories and Labour will be delighted. This is the essential prerequisite for its privatisation that both seem so desperately keen on, whatever the consequences for the people of this country might be.
The stock market is failing according to the CBI. So why don’t we just let it go?

I posted this on Twitter this morning: https://twitter.com/RichardJMurphy/status/1942861045426516103 My point is serious. The CBI is saying that the situation with regard to the UK stock exchange is getting desperate, because it is losing out to overseas markets and not attracting sufficient business. The question that needs to be asked is, why is that?...

Funding the Future

They didn't even bother to change the word "toot" on #TruthSocial in the Dutch language

Yes, he did not "build" TruthSocial but took #Mastodon source code and added anoher front end

The current source code is from 2022 meaning that they don't comply with the Mastodon licence OR they run a old version that has critical security flaws

Talk about a major fail..

Έχω στα πόδια μου φευγιό,
στα χέρια μου μηδενικό,
και στην καρδιά μου έχω πόνο.
Τ’ αστέρι μου ακολουθώ
σ’ αέρα, γη και σε βυθό
και μυστικά μαθαίνω.

When Russia kept bombing "safe zones", sanctions had already been on the way. Just saying. #IsraelTerroristState
Just watched the Sociedad de la Nieve (#SocietyOfTheSnow). It's good and I recommend it. I still think that Alive (1993) was better but I'm biased. I watched Alive when I was a kid and it had a HUGE impact on me, the way I think, and everything. The Society does perhaps a better job at displaying the extreme hardship inside the fuselage. But Alive did a better job at showing the expedition to the west. Here's an accurately edited comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jw7cnZpRC5U
