2025 Here we go

  And so we enter 2025. And to be honest I do not enter it with much optimism. The caveat of the divide between everyday people in western society is now so great, governing a country is no longer about making the country and the planet better, but to get one over our supposed “rival.” It is impossible for stability and progression to flourish in such a deluded landscape. And yet we are told this is the system in which our society strives.  It doesn't.  My favourite football team is Manchester United. Has been since I was 6. The glory days of Sir Alex Ferguson, the treble, the hair dryer treatment and learning about the history of the club from its infancy at Newton Heath, through the Munich air disaster, the rebirth of the Busby Babes all the way until today where the club is rotten inside and out from its destitute vulture capitalist owners. Unfortunately sports fans are stuck. You cannot switch sides. At least you are not supposed to anyway.  When blinded loyalty ...

Kemi Badenoch tries to Block Childrens Safety Bill to score Political points

 January 2025 started off with a BANG in the political western hemisphere. Whilst the USA MAGA clan is channelling its Star Wars empire era with its Supreme Orange Leader threatening the invasion of Canada, Mexico, Panama and Greenland, across the pond another kind of inner political war is waging albeit within the boundaries of its own parliament building.  The right hand side of the UK's team "democracy," the Tory party along with Reform UK have decided instead of trying to help run a country efficiently after 14 years of decadent abuse in power, they have spent their time over the last week  creating a false scandal to try and bring down the Labour party. Specifically,  a co-ordinated hit piece on Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Labour MP Jess Philips about not doing anything about child exploitation and grooming gangs in Oldham over the last decade has seen multiple tabloid headlines and right wing hillbillies launch an assault on the Labour government to mak...

Elon Musk’s Attempt to Fund Reform UK: A Billionaire’s Takeover of Politics?

Elon Musk—tech tycoon, space baron, and dictator in waiting—is reportedly considering financial support for Reform UK. This move has ignited a fierce debate about the role of billionaires in shaping political landscapes, especially in an era where populist rhetoric increasingly masks corporate-driven agendas. Is Musk truly a rebel against the system, or does his latest political maneuver signify yet another instance of the wealthy elite undermining democratic principles for their own interests? Let’s unpack the implications. Reform UK and Musk’s Interests Reform UK positions itself as a party “for the people,” championing deregulation, low taxes, and economic freedoms. For a billionaire like Musk, who thrives on reduced oversight and minimal constraints on his business ventures, supporting such a party is an investment—not an act of philanthropy. Musk’s companies, including Tesla and SpaceX, have often benefitted from regulatory loopholes and government subsidies. In the UK, a party li...
