People aghast at the existence of nice council homes in now desirable parts of London might take a minute to consider how councils acquired them and why.

traitez moi de complotistes mais comment tous les pays occidentaux font la même chose au même moment avec le même prétexte fallacieux et le même but de surveiller tout le monde et de contrôler internet partout ?

Both Grenfell and Hillsborough victims forced to fight years for even a whiff of accountability and transparency - there is no justice for ordinary people- we have to fight every step of the way

Nine years ago, 72 people died in Grenfell Tower - a block the council knew was unsafe.
In 2026, not one person has faced a criminal charge.
When the victims are working-class and Black, the law moves at a different speed

Imagine being told that for years you may not have a single guaranteed day off. No protected time to see a doctor, exercise, meet family, go shopping or simply breathe. A care system that depends on people never getting a break isn’t a care system. It’s exploitation

Just off the top of my head it makes it more likely that cancer will kill me or a loved one because his wealth led directly to cancer research being cut

Can’t stop thinking about how Wall Street is celebrating Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire, while he single handedly eliminated humanitarian aid that will lead to the needless deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest children in the world in the next 4 years.

I’m thinking about The Filton 4 who will be sentenced today by a judge who is demonstrably unfit. Whether you agree with their action against the genocide or not, the fact is that they have been denied a fair trial by a jury of their peers & that’s not justice it’s injustice.

I’m an ageing unpaid carer with my own health and disability needs, trapped in unsafe housing because I can’t leave the person I care for. No support for allocation. No pathway. No safety. This isn’t “carer friendly” - it’s a human rights failure. #CarersWeek #CarersWeek2026

La Antártida con una temperatura máxima por encima de los 15 °C, récord absoluto ( 2 °C respecto al anterior registro máximo).
Los científicos: "Esto es una locura. Son unos 20 °C por encima de lo normal para esta época del año. Es una anomalía enorme".

Austerity is not just economic policy.
It is a political weapon.
It disciplines the public, lowers expectations, weakens labour, protects wealth, and makes democratic demands look childish or dangerous.
It teaches people to accept decline. (2/8)
