Palantir’s technology enabled the IDF to commit genocide in Gaza. They now have multi-million pound contracts with the NHS and the police, allegedly brokered by Peter Mandleson. No one voted for Trump’s far-right tech bro’s to take over our public infrastructure.

Polite reminder. Trump & Brexit are not 2 different things. They are the same thing. Same companies. Same data. Same Facebook. Same Russians. Same Cambridge Analytica. Same Robert Mercer. Same Steve Bannon. Same Breitbart. Same Alexander Nix. Same Donald Trump. Same Nigel Farage.

History is slipping from the minds of Americans.

The French Revolution did not begin with a guillotine.

It began when regular people couldn’t afford bread to feed their children while the elite continued living as though nothing was wrong.

History suggests that societies become unstable when suffering is concentrated.

Gary Stevenson, This was the country that introduced the proportional income, the, the progressive income tax"

"Didn't exist. We did it here in this country, and look at what we did. Look at what we achieved"

"Listen, my grandmother was born here in this city in the 1920s, in the richest city, in the richest country in the history of the world, and three of her siblings died of tuberculosis"

"That is what happens when you don't deal with your inequality"

"Surrounded by desperate poverty. And in the course of her lifetime, just one lifetime, we moved from that kind of country where ordinary hardworking people see their kids die of poverty"

"To the world that my dad grew up in, where he worked for the post office for thirty-five years, bought a house, had a pension, had a retirement, had three kids, financial security, good quality education, good quality healthcare, good quality housing"

"We did that in the course of one woman's lifetime with no historical precedent of it ever happening before"

"So don't tell me it's impossible"

@simonmaginn I used to include the image of a snakes and ladders board in presentations to get this point across it all hangs on the turn of the dice

This is such an important point. Those who are comfortably off (such as our MP class) ignore how an unexpected cost, even a comparatively small one, can tip you into crisis when you have no reserves.
