Winston Churchill. Consistently wrong abt some of the biggest issues of the day. But right abt the greatest issue humanity faced in his lifetime: the threat of Nazi Germany. And funnily enough one which causes some on the hard right to lose their marbles.

A grim view of the "history of England". Why do the right-wing get away with so openly flaunting their contempt, hatred & miserablist take of modern society, England & the UK? Below from Patrick Blower.

When was the last time a major Scottish political party had a serious economic strategy or said anything relevant abt the economy? The SNP have not under devolution; Labour or Tories for decades.

72 people died in Grenfell. Social tenants a Tory council had only contempt for. Killed by that & cost-cutting, profiteering, a disregard for health & safety & dogmatic pursuit of deregulation. Called neoliberalism by some; it is a basic disregard for humanity. #GrenfellReport

Eric Pickles, the minister for fire safety & endless advocate of deregulation which contributed to the death of 72 people in #GrenfellTower still holds an official position representing the UK. He is UK Special Envoy for Post-Holocaust Issues. He should be stripped of that today.

It isn’t about policy It isn’t about ideology It is about character and fitness for office It is about understanding right from wrong It is about free and fair elections and democracy It is about the Constitution and rule of law
