I do enjoy reading your posts, Ben, because they do a very good job of joining up the dots. Not that the picture that is formed is ever an inticing one. I would agree with you that Labour's popularity will tank after the election and sink below 30% within 6 months of them winning the election.

I agree. expecting such a bunch of ideological yet thick people to change anything is almost endearing were it not so terrifying.

It's Climate Communism, plain and simple.

Right.... the world's leading billionaires are Communists not unregulated Capitalists.

This Mcarthyist trope is so tired and naive.

It's Technocracy, Surveillance Capitalism, green-washing and corporate raiding.

The Covid-19 military operation enabled the elimination of hundreds of thousands of citizens from government payrolls, benefits and pensions precisely during an economic downturn thus, maximizing stakeholder profits.

Well researched. I thought it odd at the time when Labour reduced their “climate change” £28 billion per year spending pledge to an arbitrary-sounding £7 billion a year. Now we can see the simple arithmetic. £28 billion a year will still be poured into climate change malinvestments under their watch (if logistically possible), except that three-quarters of it will be paid for by green billionaires who will be guaranteed a healthy profit, with long-suffering, hard-pressed taxpayers, businesses and households ultimately paying the entire bill.

Mafia doesn’t affect my life thankfully having nothing to do with drugs or trafficking; however in the U.K. and the west the mafia (aka royals, parasite elite class, government , mass media, the bbc etc ) are involved in every aspect of one’s life; energy bills, food prices, propaganda creation, causing issuers for drivers etc. I mean this is obviously true everywhere but it’s easier to avoid it here and have a very good quality life (if you have a good job and a decent salary.).

Blackouts, rising prices for consumers, business disruption, basic services collapsing (even more than today), politicians blaming us.... it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

It's only anecdotal but I note everyone, everywhere is noticing how bloody expensive everything is. That's the thing about energy costs... they flow into everything. Absolutely everything. They is no prospect currently of energy prices going down. Adios😢
