3/ National conservatism and Christian nationalism are both linked to the increasing polarization of politics and the rise of populist movements in the US and UK.

However, these ideologies can also be viewed as a dangerous move towards fascism, as they prioritize the interests of the nation over individual rights and freedoms, and often seek to silence or marginalize those who do not fit into their vision of national identity.

Lidl Chicken scandel - Animal cruelty

The importance of high welfare standards and regulations cannot be overstated. Animals are being abused in an abhorrent manner. Sustainable organic farming methods should be the norm.

No amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party. So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

UK Politics - Public Order BIll

The authoritarian Public Order Bill returns to the House of Lords today - It is an attack on our fundamental rights and poses a threat to Social Justice movements & Trade Unions. The #RightsRevovalBill contains all the heinous legislation we fought to have removed from the PCSC Act.
Call the HOL & tell them to vote it down.

Fossil Fuel Industry

The purpose of carbon capture is to subsidise the fossil fuel industry, not to capture carbon.
Shell's Quest blue hydrogen Carbon Capture plant emits more carbon than it captures, with 48% of its carbon enissions captured over five years, far short of the industry's 90% targett. A strategy for postponing climate action to increase profits.

The right-wing media and the Tories are inextricably linked. Since they are mutually dependent, interchangeable, and at times indistinguishable, it's no wonder accountability is lacking. The Spectator's editor, James Forsyth, is married to Allegra Stratton (ex-press secretary). PM Rishi Sunak was their best man at their wedding.
Mary Wakefield commissioning editor at the
Magazine, is married to Dominic Cummings.

/1
There is a ruling elite governing class composed of people from the same sphere, the same education, who are literally married to one another.

Given this setting, it is absurd to think that such a media can hold powerful individuals accountable. There is an incestuous and dysfunctional media environment in Britain.

As long as the fossil industry and its lobbyists are allowed to participate in COP, no climate action will be achieved. In the meantime, the performance continues.

Big oil is distorting the narrative,
