I genuinely don’t understand how we are supposed to casually process that a glacier literally collapsed in Nepal, erasing 19 bridges and killing over 600 people, because the planet is too hot. And instead of stopping it, billionaires are building more data centres. It is completely psychotic.
unpaid shelf stacking… at christmas… hmmmmmm… yeah this is DEFFO for youth unemployment and not giving sainos a bunch of free labour in the busiest time of the year instead of actually paying temp seasonal staff…
For 37 years, privatised water companies have fleeced customers and poisoned our supply whilst extracting £88bn+ in dividends.
Privatisation is a scam. It is absurd that successive governments have allowed this farce to continue.
Put water into democratic public ownership, now.
it's HIGHLY important that we remember that it wasn't the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.
so let me get this straight. britain in 2026, a "developed", "world leading" country, has hosepipe bans and water parks shut. ministers are now being briefed on banning car washes, window cleaners and refilling swimming pools, gyms included. actual businesses, told to stop trading, because it didn't rain in the SE for two months.
the grid operator has literally just been given approval to run controlled blackouts if it needs to.
we're living off reservoirs, pipes and power lines the victorians and the post-war lot built, and every government since has just collected the bills and skipped the upgrades. so where has all the money gone?
i'm in edinburgh right now. it rained for six hours yesterday without stopping. clearly water isn't the problem. we just never built anything to catch it or move it.
How come Al is inevitable and we need to adapt and accept it, but renewable energy, tackling microplastics and restoring ecosystems are framed as stupid and inconvenient? The gaslighting from the 1% is top tier.
On what planet are we living where the taxpayer is subsidizing profits for £millionaire shareholders, while our waterways are full of shit and we can't afford to live????????????????
Where is the investment?
Where are the reservoirs?
We ALL know where the corruption is.
Here's the thing guys: we already paid you for clean water and no pollution. If you failed to provide it and then ask for more money this is what is known as "a scam".
I can’t remember the last time it rained, east London has no water, the farmers have nothing to farm, there is a data centre on brick lane, central line feels like an airfryer, potholes everywhere, no one can afford to sneeze
We're gonna do it, aren't we? We're actually gonna do it. We're gonna let greedy rich cunts cook the planet and suck it dry of energy and water just so bots can send emails to other bots. Un-fucking-believable.
You REDUCE crime by eliminating POVERTY. The reason so called nice neighborhoods have lower crime rates is because people’s basic needs are being met. It is not because of police, alarm systems, or neighborhood associations. Poverty creates crime.
