The whole Russia thing stinks to high heaven - all these cosy little “meetings” an games of tennis in return for a Tory party donation should be stopped, and yes I know all parties are guilty of cash for “favours” but the money that goes into Tory coffers from big business and high profile figures from over seas is obscene. I’d love to know what really goes on in return for these “donations”
It’s why our democracy is an utter scam. The rich pay pennies to make millions. The ordinary working person is robbed at every level. Our taxes, our loan rates, the assets we once owned, all goes into the offshore accounts of a select few.
Our standard of living goes down, our public and health services get decimated, we have less money in our pockets, whilst the richest in society continue to make more and more money.
the donations and support given to this party enable them to pay for phoney social media campaigns, to spread the lies and opposition inaccuracies, to pay for the bots.
And the electorate lap it up. They vote for more of the same, they forgive the cruelty and the cuts, they forgive the racism and inequality and they forgive the injustice and sneering unaccountability.
I laughed when Boris said he wanted to set up a sovereign wealth fund. What about the oil reserves, the sales of British Gas, Electricity, water, BT, BP etc etc. That income should have been used for a fund, decades ago. Every person would be paying less now, for a better service and the profits used for everyone. Instead they were sold cheap, to a select few - another wealth transfer to the rich and other countries to profit from.
It’s a massive **** take and we allowed it.
