âBrexit betrayalâ - oh for godâs sake.. Every day, weâre paying to be poorer. Weâre paying to be second class citizens on our own continent. Weâre paying to queue. Weâre paying for more red tape. Weâre paying to be less secure and less trusted. Brexit IS the betrayal. And so is defending it.

Does he [Trump] think we're stupid? is not a rhetorical question. Trump really thinks his voters and apologists are as thick as pig shit. Sadly, he's not wrong.

The greatest lie I ever believed was that local newspapers died because the internet made them irrelevant. Newspapers were wounded by the internet, they DIED because of private equity vulture owners, full stop. One of the first industries targeted. (Read âBad Company.â)

But why has China become a global leader in renewable energy production? Because the fossil fuel industry has used its enormous influence (and funding) to attack any moves towards a transition to renewable energy in the West, using both the libertarian & far right political movements & the media.

Populism is a fundamentally dishonest form of politics, that attracts fundamentally dishonest people. It is a tissue of lies that validates the darkest prejudices, and covers up the most blatant greed and corruption. It generates wealth for the few, and suffering for the many.
