A world of greed-driven oligarchs & billionaires vs humanity. Musk we know, but many other faceless, tax-avoiding rich men have a lust for control with corruption & corporate crimes hidden from scrutiny. https://www.youtube.com/@brokenpoliticsworld

Multinational corporations dodge $500bn tax by shifting profits to low/no tax jurisdictions. Stifle social development. Need a simple change - must pay tax where they actually create profit, instead of where they pretend to on paper. UK can collect extra $16.9bn a yr. Must check corporate abuse.

- We believe in second chances! - So you think refugees deserve a second chance at making a life? - Not like that - Young people who’ve made mistakes shouldn’t be punished? - Nope - Benefits to help people get back on their feet? - Ha! - So who do you believe in second chances for? - Nazis!

Badenoch represents double-down conservatism. Never apologise or moderate. Insult your opponents. Patronise journalists when challenged. Contradict yourself, lie, whatever it takes, but never back down. And that's how you end up creating an extremely avoidable Tory antisemitism scandal overnight

Now I've seen the AI nonsense that the "former neo Nazi" pumps out on the Crewkerne Gazette, I think I know why Badenoch is defending his selection as a Tory cllr candidate. She's a fundamentally lightweight, stupid person. #wato

Good grief. Jail them. Intimidation, stalking, conspiracy to breach the peace, hate crimes... whatever can be thrown at them. #RTC #thugs #fascism #FakePatriots #RightWingRetards #Newsnight #r4today

Leaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.

listening to Badenoch's free party political broadcast on #r4today, and p*ssed off with Webb's lack of journalism. "The govt says they are deporting prisoners at a record rate" says W. "I dispute that" says K. And gets away with it. Surely this is a fact - something which can be checked?

So Badenoch would recruit a neo-Nazi but *not* someone who didn’t want to leave the ECHR or someone who supported our NetZero commitments. Second chances for this guy but not Dominic Grieve. The Tory party is truly wretched. It’s screwed the country, betrayed its own and lost its tiny mind.

Badenoch defends former neo-Nazi pick as council candidate By Will Meakin-Durrant Kemi Badenoch has said her party "believes in second chances". , after the Conservatives selected a former neo-Nazi once jailed for harassing a Jewish former MP as a local election candidate. Joshua Bonehill-Paine posted on social media that he was "tremendously proud" that he has been chosen to stand for election to Somerset Coun-cil, in the Crewkerne South ward. Bonehill-Paine (inset) was jailed in 2016 after he was convicted of racially aggravated harassment. He wrote several blog posts about the former Labour MP for Liverpool Wavertree, Baroness Luciana Berger, labelling her "an evil money-grabber" with a "deep-rooted hatred of men". He was previously jailed for producing an ad illustrated with a picture of the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz, which promised "an absolute gas" at a rally in Golders Green, north London. Badenoch said: "I want to be very clear - and I think people can look at me and know that I'm not a person who would be recruiting neo-Nazis. "Josh is someone who actually has been certified by the Home Office to train police officers on antisemitism and on countering extremism. "Yes, he [has] previously convicted but he has shown contrition for his crimes, has been rehabilitated and is spending every day working to solve the very problem which he knew that he had caused previously. "And the Conservative Party believes in second chances."

Where on earth does Badenoch get the bare faced cheek to pop back into the #R4today to pontificate about early release? It’s ONLY happening because the Tories deliberately & negligently cut funding without a plan to manage services through their austerity
