Sometimes we get things by asking the universe. Like friends. I’ve needed friends, asked for friends and received friends.
Well Universe, I really want socialism.
I'm no economist, but if cutting winter fuel payment saves £1.4BN a year, and the energy companies are raking in over £1BN a week in profits, maybe an 'easier decision' would be to TAX THE PROFITS OF THE F*CKING ENERGY COMPANIES to cover the cost, rather than freeze pensioners?!
The UK is an awful place to live right now. Everything is expensive, cities are potholes and boarded up shops, the trains don’t work, lgbtq hate is in daily newspapers, green energy plans are being dismantled. Forget discriminatory deportations, fix the fucking place.

Mr. Teatime and his little troupe will steal more than gold and silver this Hogswatch. Find out what they are after at Terry Pratchett's 'Hogfather,' adapted by @StephenPBriggs
Ok I've boiled it down as simply as I can:
the main difference between liberals and socialist-anarchist types is that liberals somehow hope that eventually the weight of reality and evidence will convince those in power to change course (on climate, human rights etc) ...

The tabloids: Climate activists are protesting the wrong way, they’re disrupting the lives of ordinary working people.
Greenpeace: Ok, well we’ll protest at one of the Prime ministers houses then after he signed off 100 new oil & gas licences.
The Tabloids: NOT LIKE THAT! 😂
Not to be LinkedIn on main but when I was in college I thought “networking” meant going to really uptight events and putting on a facade but as I get older I realize that networking happens organically when you’re just nice to people and make friends without an agenda
Seems a good time to repeat: There are at least 739 papers reviewing 100% renewables systems. Main conclusion: 100% renewables CAN power all energy in the world at low cost - fast
We have decisive solutions to the #ClimateEmergency. Implement them faster
