Bonfire of human rights in the UK.

Protests criminalised for being ‘noisy’.

Striking workers can be sacked. No right of appeal.

Soon the old, sick, disabled, poor, won't have the right to financial privacy. Rich will be OK.

Rights removed by Tory govt

Govt will 24/7 snoop on the bank accounts of recipients of benefits & state pension.

Millions of old, sick, infirm, poor won't have financial privacy, even when no suspicion of fraud.

Won't snoop on the accounts of crooks, tax abusers, money launderers.

Post Office’s first reaction to the suicide of a sub-postmaster it accused of stealing was to hire a media lawyer to protect its “brand reputation”.

Widow silenced by a non-disclosure agreement to get phased compensation.

Not an ounce of humanity.

Fascism is here.

London Stock Exchange CEO pay rises from £6.25m to more than £13m.

No link to corporate performance - companies are fleeing UK.

Govt preaches real wage cuts to workers, but no curbs on exec pay, dividends, share buybacks, profiteering.

It is class war.

How overseas owners of water companies clean up by polluting our rivers.

£78bn+ dividends since 1989, 360% hike in bills, no new reservoirs, sewage dumped, trillion litres of water lost to leaks.

Shareholders only want profits

End the scam. Nationalise

Rishi Sunak presiding over the least transparent govt for 25 years.

FOI requested information released fully for only 34% of requests in 2023.

The same contempt shown for parliament. Too many questions not answered.

Secrecy breeds corruption.

Former Post Office (PO) executive gave ‘false’ evidence at high court in 2018 about Horizon IT system flaws, inquiry hears.

She can't recall the 2010, 2011, 2014 emails telling her about the flaws.

No PO exec charged with wrongdoing. Will they ever be?
