Private equity controls UK dentistry.

Initial consultation fee up by 23%, tooth extraction up by 32%.

Gross profit at private equity controlled companies rose by 20% year-on-year.

Profit margins of 20%-30%.

Too many can't afford dental care.

Private equity has devoured UK town centres.

It controls airports, seaports, hospitals, care homes, football teams, housing, GP surgeries, vets, dentistry, pubs, restaurants, energy, water and more.

Everything financialised.

What future for the UK?

🚨THIS SHOULD SCARE EVERYONE🚨

While Prime Minister Carney deepens Canada’s partnership with the UK — including co-developing “nation-building digital public infrastructure” and aligning on child safety — the UK just ordered Apple and Google to install scanning software on every phone and computer sold in the country.

Not an app. Not social media. On the device itself. Your camera. Your photos. Your messages. Scanned before they can even be encrypted.

Signal — one of the most trusted privacy companies on Earth — called it exactly what it is: “invisible surveillance infrastructure switched on by default.”

The government’s excuse? Protecting children.

But here’s the part that should terrify every Canadian:

The same law requires the Prime Minister’s personal sign-off to spy on a politician… while ordinary citizens get zero protection and no opt-out.

Once this infrastructure exists, history shows the scope never shrinks. Today it’s “nudity.” Tomorrow it’s whatever the government decides is a threat — including political speech.

Carney’s Liberals already rammed through their own censorship and backdoor bills before vanishing for summer. Now they’re actively aligning Canada with the exact UK model that’s turning every citizen’s pocket into a government listening post.

This isn’t about child safety. It’s about control.

They always sell it as “common sense” and “for your own protection.”

Until it’s not.

Canada First means rejecting the surveillance state before it’s installed by default in every Canadian device.

We don’t need invisible backdoors. We don’t need government scanning our private lives. And we sure as hell don’t need to import the UK’s authoritarian tech agenda.

The UK economy is basically a subscription service at this point.

£900 for rent. £200 for council tax. £150 for energy. £300 for food. £200 for fuel.

Then someone asks why you've got no savings.

I don't know mate, probably because existing costs £1,750 a month.

These were all released within 44 days of each other in 1991....

In the span of just 44 days in 1991, rock history was rewritten. Between August and September, a wave of genre-defining albums was released that reshaped the sound of the decade. Metallica’s self-titled “Black Album,” Pearl Jam’s Ten, Guns N’ Roses’ Use Your Illusion I & II, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Soundgarden’s Badmotorfinger, and Nirvana’s Nevermind all dropped in quick succession.

Each album brought something different — from Metallica’s heavy polish to Nirvana’s raw grunge energy. Nevermind, in particular, would soon knock Michael Jackson off the top of the charts and become a symbol of a cultural shift.

These releases didn’t just dominate the airwaves, they marked the dawn of alternative rock’s mainstream takeover. Looking back, it’s hard to believe this explosion of legendary music happened in just over a month. It wasn’t just a hot streak — it was a revolution in real time.

‘If you want to lift teams up to compete in Europe and at a higher level then that kind of behaviour needs to be punished.’

Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou believes that lenient refereeing in Scotland is preventing teams from developing a better standard of football.

We could end up in a place where AI determines who lives or dies.

A handful of giant corporations control the majority share of food supply, production and processing. Local farmers are being financially squeezed by them. It’s time for a food revolution and bypass food corporations and buy directly from local farmers.

I cannot believe Baroness Berger is having to make this very basic point about a bill so poorly drafted that it fails to preclude one person seeking out the death of another via an NHS service.

This is not serious legislation. It is profoundly dangerous.

[Psychedelic Jukebox @60sPsychJukebox]

In January 1973, a 25-year-old session singer named Clare Torry walked into Abbey Road Studios for what she thought was just another gig.

Pink Floyd was finishing The Dark Side of the Moon, and engineer Alan Parsons asked her to improvise vocals over an unfinished track called The Great Gig in the Sky.

Clare asked, “What do you want me to sing?”
The band basically said: “Feel it. No words. Just emotion.”

She got paid £30. Standard session fee.

And her name didn’t even appear on the album. Her name was not included in the original album credits, with royalties going solely to Richard Wright, who composed the music.

Finally, in 2004, over 30 years later, she sued for songwriting credit, arguing that her improvised melody was a creative composition. Pink Floyd settled out of court, and from 2005 onward, the credits officially read:

“The Great Gig in the Sky – Music by Richard Wright & Clare Torry.”
A long-overdue victory.

So the soaring voice that made a cosmic masterpiece finally got the recognition it deserved.
