Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

"First they came for the EU. Then the ECHR. They say leaving both will mean taking back control. It’s all lies. What they actually plan to take away is 100+ years of hard won worker’s rights, children’s rights, women’s rights, HUMAN rights, all of which make YOUR life better." via We Demand UK
At astonishing speed, our rights are being cancelled, worldwide. In the UK, the prosecution of Rajiv Menon KC is the latest example of blatant authoritarianism. Why? Because this is what billionaires and corporations demand. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Absolutely shameful piece. Even if a "Mediterranean" future were desirable - and a third of a million people are currently fleeing an inferno - what about those parts of the world being made uninhabitable? Where do their people go? Heath doesn't want them here. www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2026...

For years, Telegraph columnists told us climate breakdown is a hoax. Now they say: it's real, but it's too late to do anything about it, so let the bodies pile high (again). Just one long list of excuses not to reduce fossil fuel use. Such newspapers bear as much responsibility as the oil firms.

So much for a fresh start with Burnham. New oil and gas won't cut bills or make Britain more energy secure. But they will lock us into more climate damage. It's time to invest in clean energy, warm homes and the jobs of the future - not to double down on the fuels of the past.
Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface
It’s also completely moronic. We can see what Ukraine is doing to Russia’s fossil fuel economy for basically pennies. Electrification with local generation is resilience and national security 101 now.
