Every new heat record exposes the same divide: workers and the planet vs billionaires.
People are dying in the heat right now. Yet we’re told there’s always billions for endless war and militarisation, but never a serious plan for the climate crisis.
The richest keep profiting from fossil fuels while insulating themselves in air-conditioned bunkers. Everyone else is left to work through dangerous temperatures, live in overheated homes, and rely on public services pushed to breaking point.
Climate breakdown isn’t just an environmental crisis, it’s a class one.
We need rapid decarbonisation, serious investment in adaptation, and workers’ rights that include a legal maximum workplace temperature.
John C. Reilly questions why human rights have become political
"If you stand up for human rights, why is that a right or left thing? Why aren’t people on the right wing concerned about human rights?"
"Elon Musk says, 'don’t be fooled by the empathy trap'. ... Empathy is not a trap, empathy is a superpower. It’s what makes human beings exceptional, our ability to look outside ourself”
"Do unto others ... It's crazy that we have to argue for these things"

Over 300,000 people die of drowning each year. In order to protect society, it is now illegal to consume or possess water.
Your government is also considering banning solid food, as it presents a needless choking hazard.
You are not an adult.
You are a baby.
Eat the baby food.
If the UK ever bans VPNs, don’t buy the line that “only criminals need privacy”.
That is absolute nonsense.
Normal people use VPNs for banking, public Wi-Fi, working from home, travelling abroad, protecting business accounts, journalism, whistleblowing and basic online privacy.
A ban would not stop serious criminals.
They would just find another way.
The people it would hurt are ordinary, law-abiding citizens who simply don’t want every click, search and message tracked.
Privacy is not suspicious.
Privacy is protection.
And once any government starts banning privacy tools, you have to ask:
What exactly are they trying to stop us seeing, saying, or protecting?
