If you randomly pick a voter from the 2019 general election, there is a -56% chance they didn't vote for the party we're now governed by. ~30% chance they voted tactically for someone they didn't believe in. -71% chance their vote didn't affect the outcome. #ChangeTheVotingSystem

Today marks 49 years since British arms killed the revolution and the democratically-elected Allende government of Chile, replacing it with the murderous Pinochet dictatorship. We must never forget the dark days of the Chilean coup.

Just went to Parliament Square & held up a blank piece of paper. Officer came & asked for my details. He confirmed that if I wrote “Not My King” on it, he would arrest me under the Public Order Act because someone might be offended.
