Electricity sector profit margins:

UK 23% - 38%
Spain 11% - 13%
Germany 9 - 11%
France 6 - 9%

But, apparently, the reason UK electricity is most expensive is Net Zero.

My God Israel supporters are exhausting. I've never gotten used to it.

"Wahh, Zohran wants to murder Jews!"

"Wahh, the musician hurt the IDF's feelings!"

Shut up. Shut up. Shut the whole entire fuck up. Everyone is sick of your bullshit.

There is a genocide happening. A genocide. Babies are being starved. IDF soldiers are telling the Israeli press that they're being ordered to massacre desperately hungry civilians at aid sites. There are vast stretches of the Gaza Strip that now look like the surface of the moon. Trump and Netanyahu are openly working to purge the Palestinian territory of Palestinians so the land can be permanently taken from them.

Your feelings don't matter. The world does not revolve around you and your feelings. Your emotional response to whatever made up nonsense you're choosing to have a melodramatic tantrum about today is completely irrelevant. Every single Palestinian who died today, individually, matters infinitely more than every feeling you've ever felt about every imaginary phantom you've pretended to feel threatened by.

Anyone who has had the misfortune of knowing a manipulative narcissist has seen all these patterns before. The self-centeredness. The hypocrisy. The horrific abuse, followed by collapsing into blubbering victimhood the second the abuse is called out. The aggressive efforts to control the narrative and frame all critics and rivals as evil monsters. It's a very familiar playbook.

My hope for our world is that we one day become so emotionally and psychologically healthy that such cynical manipulations stand out like a white cloud on a deep blue sky. That we become so caring, understanding and supportive of our fellow human beings that the needful get everything they require to lead a fulfilling life, while sociopathy and psychopathy become as alienating and disadvantageous as chronic schizophrenia is today. That we become so tender-hearted that genocide can never rear its ugly head on this planet again, and all the abusive dynamics which made the Gaza holocaust possible fade away like darkness in the rising sun.

I was born and baptized in Syria. As a Christian and a journalist I have more interest than most in seeing Syria respect freedom of religion and freedom of the press.

Syria is secular. And those who celebrate it being turned into an Islamic Caliphate run by Al Qaeda, Israel and NATO are delusional or Zionists and imperialists.

@elonmusk Equity means ensuring everyone is given a fair opportunity, rather than the same opportunity. As visualised below. It’s not communism

[Prof Thuli Madonsela #KindnessBuilds @ThuliMadonsela3]

@elonmusk That’s not true. Equity and communism are not the same thing. Equity is rooted in social justice and not socialism. Equity accepts justified differences in distribution of benefits but subject to incorporates accommodation of difference and reversal of manufactured inequality.

Jacob Rees-Mogg has avoided paying tax on more than £104,000,000 by using Tax Havens.

The EU would have blocked this.

It’s really that simple.

Strap in, we’re going on a ride from Westminster to the Isle of Man. This is the story of Michelle Mone and that £29m.

Opposition parties and media must "Do the right thing"

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

This is probably the angriest film I’ve ever made & I make no excuses for my rage - this is a make-or-break moment for parliamentary democracy - where is UK media? I won’t just stand by whilst this Government strips us of our liberties - if you’re with me please RT this widely
