We can’t talk about the Royal Family in Parliament and we can’t hold them to account.
Less of a democracy, more of a cult.
Hundreds of years ago it was the court jester who said the stuff people couldn’t.

Gisèle Pelicot waived anonymity in a mass rape trial, so that "macho, patriarchal society that trivialises rape" could change. Her courage unfathomable, no honour too great, she stood up for ALL women, changed history and yet Time's Person of the Year is a male sexual assaulter:
So delighted to see this @SocDems breakthrough.
It is no overnight sensation though. They have worked hard to build the party over the years.
They are coherent, purposeful, considered…excited to see them continue to grow their presence and their impact in the next few years.

All smiling old people happy their pittance pension is secure while their grandkids suffer.

He was the worst President in history. And when he got voted out, he tried to stage a coup. Then he stole national secrets and sold the ones he didn't store in the bathroom.
He was convicted of fraud, found liable of sexual assault and convicted of 34 felonies. He is half a billion dollars in debt, owned by God only knows who, and the biggest national security risk the nation has ever had.
But at least he's not a Black woman.
I always sound like a conspiracy theorist when I say this but things are not built how they used to be, i.e., made to last, made to be functional, etc., because of capitalism.
