I sometimes get told by MPs that their patients “don’t mind if private companies deliver their healthcare”.

If you do mind, and want the NHS to stay out of private hands, please RT this. Let’s send MPs a message 💙

Today, August 9, is International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples: The Taíno were Jamaica's (Xaymaca) first human settlers, arriving on the island from the South American mainland 650-900 AD. When Columbus came in 1494 there were 100,000. It was a tragic encounter; within…

Britain’s nose-dived into an era of proto-fascism and massive environmental and cultural vandalism.

All predicated on protecting the country from “outsiders”

By the time we realise the EU, refugees, BLM and ‘lefties’ weren’t actually the enemy it’ll be way too late.

“I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.”

Big: Henrietta Lacks’ living relatives reached a historic settlement with the multi-billion-dollar biotech company accused of stealing her cells without her consent

A thought...

UK banks deliberately, systemically, missold, by script, over £40bn of PPI, ripping money out of the hands of the public including many vulnerable people - no bank CEO resigned.

Margaret Thatcher was the WORST Prime Minister EVER.

She forced the UK into 10 years of hyper inflation and huge unemployment, slashed taxes for the rich to nothing and sold off ALL the state assets.

And achieved NOTHING. RT if you agree.

Everything she did needs undoing

It is a national disgrace that in the sixth largest economy in the world, 4.2 million children are living in poverty.

If we do not stand up to the rich and powerful, nothing will change.

Another future is possible — we just need the courage and conviction to fight for it.

Goodnight, #TonyBennett .

Thank you for your commitment to love, civil rights, and a better world.

People seem to love #Oppenheimer but I'll just say it: I was uncomfy watching yet another movie about tortured white male genius when the victims of the atrocities glossed over by the script—Japanese people, interned Japanese Americans, and Native Americans—had no voice.
