Grok on Fascism:
Fascism is a complex political ideology, but its salient symptoms, based on historical examples and scholarly analysis, include:

Almost 90% of England's water companies are still acting illegally, still dumping huge amounts of sewage into our environment.
“People are sick of excuses,” screams Dame Angela Eagle. We've heard it all before and yet nothing, nothing changes.
One interesting note "The UK is one of only two countries in the world where the provision of water is fully privatised. The other is Chile, where water privatisation was imposed in the 1980s by a military dictatorship." Hmm? 🤔

Seems @Alexarmstrong posted this at 1am to avoid anyone seeing it.
Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen.
Hold @GBNEWS to account.
On 19 July 2024, I published two posts on my X account in which I made allegations about Mr Mothin Ali being involved in the Harehills riots. I have accepted these were incorrect and I have jointly made a statement in open Court in order to apologise to Mr Ali and correct the record which is below.

Andy - why are you giving the royals another £50 million when our public services are crumbling? No more handouts to billionaire families. Time to scrap the grant. #AbolishTheMonarchy

Michelle Mone must be removed from the House of Lords and be made to repay the £187 million she owes the taxpayers. Michelle Mone and her husband, Doug Barrowman, should be in jail for fraud.
RT if you agree.
It is important to keep a record of all Farage’s dodgy doings
Don’t forget the real stories:
Nigel Farage broke parliamentary standards failing to declare a £5 mil bribe.
Then he got caught on camera plotting to break electoral law.
He lied about his Clacton house and its stamp duty,
He got caught with an offshore bank account and has a special company to avoid tax.
He failed to declare 17 streams of income breaking parliamentary code.
He has about 14 jobs and never turns up to Parliament.
Don’t get distracted. If he gets away with it, democracy is dead.

So Nigel Farage has declared Reform would declare a national emergency on day one so that they can overrule the judiciary and force legislation through.
This seems to be remarkably like the enabling act that Hitler and the Nazis used to grab power. share.google/HZlcMaYHj1VDknt…

I will point out again Clement Attlee LABOUR PRIME MINISTER.
Nationalised Water, Rail, Healthcare and Housing and created more than 2,000,000 jobs working for the Government in just 5 years.
That. Is. How. It. Is.
DONE

Selective history. Public rail and water suffered from underinvestment — not simply “public ownership”. Privatisation brought fragmentation, shareholder extraction and failures of its own. The lesson? Fund and govern essential services properly.

Please repost if you want Andy Burnham to work to restore our EU Freedom of Movement as soon as possible. It was robbed from us by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history. – at Brighton, England

Just heard BBC news lead with Reform policy proposal. How is that editorial decision justified three years out from an election for a party that is a) not the official opposition b) has eight seats in parliament c) is no longer leading the polls? Free publicity as usual.
Since privatisation in 1981, Water companies have created debts of about £50 billion and given their shareholders about £60 billion.
What a brilliant business plan
I have heard many people in the water industry and indeed some in government repeating the lie, why I wonder?
Of the £91 billion being spent by water companies over the next 5 years £90 billion of it, that's 99% it is being funded directly from bill payers pockets, from your bank account and mine, not shareholders.
Which raises the obvious question, what actually is the point of the shareholders, why do we need them?
