History shows us that propaganda works, in peacetime we call it PR & we know humans are good a manipulating the thoughts & actions of others Going against dominant propaganda is scary & is to have a 🎯 on your back. U.K. can’t even reverse Brexit propaganda, I feel we must be kind to Americans.

Wishing a happy Mothers' Day to all the mums I know. Thinking too of anyone grieving the loss of a mum, anyone who is unable to have kids but would have liked to, and also any mum who has lost a child. Much love to you all whatever your situation.

As an aside, because I’m appalled by Labours benefit reform, there was ZERO real engagement or outrage when the Tories killed hundreds of thousands with austerity and put 4m kids in poverty. But, 250k more people in poverty (including 50k children) to save a small amount is contemptible, frankly.
