England nationalized rail passenger services lease carriages from rolling stock companies (ROSCOs). 87% of rolling stock controlled by 3 Luxembourg companies. Paid £1.282bn dividends in last 3 yrs. Not taxed in UK. Privatization has hollowed out the UK - Taxes lost, it is all about exploitation.

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership
Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.

There's been a bigger scandal over a BBC documentary about the horrors inflicted by Israel against Palestinian children, over an irrelevant detail, than the horrors inflicted by Israel against Palestinian children. The world turned on its head. Depraved. Deranged.

There must be millions of socialists who are disappointed that the current Labour Party are not leading us back into the EU. The Greens are offering as a Core Commitment, Full Membership As Soon As Possible. On this point alone, they’ll get my vote. One must have an objective rather than hope. You?

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

What's happening across the UK is an infrastructural hollowing out of all public services, the carving up of the UK into patchworks of corporate sovereignties, we are witnessing the privatisation of the entire country. I call it Zone Fever.
