Wen, 5 days ago to UKpolitics There is no ‘change’ for Britain without a massive injection of cash. Why won’t our politicians admit it? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jun/07/no-change-britain-without-injection-cash-politicians-admit-it-labour There is a simple answer. Labour and the Conservatives rely on commercial support - not party members. Voters are just fodder. Another very English perspective but I suppose I can forgive that - just be careful about using the British title in future. #poverty #UkPolitics #LabourCorruption #ToryCorruption #ChildPoverty

kagan, 6 days ago to news "Why you were wrong to laugh at that viral video of a man driving with a suspended sentence" Lots of reasons, including: His license should've been reinstated 2 years ago! The whole idea of revoking someone's driver's license for failure to pay debts is completely clown-shoes ridiculous. A retired judge breaks down some more reasons, too. https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/suspended-license-zoom-court-hearing-rcna155295 #poverty #justice #news
