Seen any good roadkill recently? These guys want to know.
The fucking USA Dept. of Labor have said that the Tories anti-strike plans are a bit much. A country with no maternity or paternity leave, sick pay, or disability discrimination rights thinks that we’re about to do something bad…. plus the UN says our government are liars.
The EU intend to use every means possible to oppose the US government’s weak-ass eco-capitalism measures. Not because the measures are too little to do much good at a time when we need decisive action, but because the measures a threat to European energy profits. Tell me again how the EU is a force for good and progressive politics!1
In the face of all this, you might expect Keir Starmer to be coming on like Martin Luther, nailing a proclamation to the door of Downing Street in righteous fury at the squalid state of the nation.
Instead, the Richard Briers of British politics pootled off to Davos and declared that Labour would be ‘open for business’. Finding favour amongst the global elite, Starmer later opined that it was a far nicer place to be than Westminster.
As the old song goes, ‘He was only a toolmaker’s son, but he knew how to engineer a derivatives-based financial instrument that would, in the fullness of time, provide a return to the Treasury that might allow him to look again at public sector pay demands in the future.’
The agreements signed between the European Commission and pharmaceutical companies to roll out COVID-19 vaccines offered significant long-term benefits to the corporations involved to the detriment of public health and global equality, research by NGOs has found.
We need to start thinking of covid as an immunodeficiency virus. We need to start treating it like HIV spread by breathing. We are building a future public health catastrophe. If you don’t believe me, please read this collection of sources and then start wearing a mask again.

"You can literally have a written confession, an audio confession and not everyone on the jury is going to believe you. I think that says a lot about society."
Men are disgusting.
. When Emily spoke to some secondary school girls, she was shocked that all of them said they had received sexually explicit messages online.
"What shocked me the most was that I thought the girls were going to say it was the boys at school that were a bit out of control and on their phones, but it's older men online that are approaching these girls," she says.
Emily put a post on her social media asking the men who send her explicit messages to explain why they do it.
"I checked my emails - zero, received nothing back," she says. "These men spend their lives bombarding me with abuse and saying the most horrific things and then the second I respond and say, 'Well I want to hear from you, let's talk' - nothing.
I hope that no-one I know is doing this. If you are, just fucking stop it and get some therapy.
I’m sure you’ve seen #DavosSafe2 by now, but if you haven’t, here you go. Ask yourself this, if Covid is over now, why are the elites so scared of it? Why do they get all this stuff but not us? You know the answer. It’s because you’re a worker unit and your life has no value except that which you produce, and its cheaper to let you become disabled or killed and replace you than to protect you; but their lives have intrinsic value and need to be protected. They are classic sociopaths and they run the world.
Not that I am a progressive. Progressivism is a kind of capitalism that claims that capitalism should progressively make people richer and improve society. It is basically another liberal delusion, designed to create a them and us situation amongst critics of capitalism. Another capitalism, it say, is possible. It assigns certain ruling capitalists (Obama, Blair, Clinton) the label of progressive, and handwaves away their reactionary traits. You shouldn’t be a progressive because its as racist, imperialist, and incoherant as any other capitalism.
Davos, where the free market is multilaterally planned. Make no mistake, the capitalist free-market economy is as planned as in any communist or socialist state, our rulers just want you to believe that the horrors of capitalism are due to market forces beyond human control. The free boot of the market pressing down on your neck.
