Farrage's M.O. is divide and conquer. His rhetorical filth is washed in an intellectual veneer for mainstream appeal.

Weapons-grade irony. He wanted a peerage. He stood 8 times to be an MP. After campaigning for the sovereignty of Parliament, Nigel Farage (now MP for Clacton) elopes to the US 🇺🇸 to attend his king's speech.

The thought of what happened to Stephen Lawrence always makes me tear up. Probably because if I was at that bus stop 30 years ago, and those 5 boys approached me that night, I think my mum would have lost her son too.

Just come across this extraordinary passage in ⁦@mrjamesob⁩ bestseller “ How they broke Britain “.
Look at the impact austerity cuts had (- according to economist Fetzer- ) on the actual Brexit vote, in the light of this week’s changes.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture.

The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.

But no.

Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die.

You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.

A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery.

Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said."
We are at our best when we serve others.

Be civilized.
