Right to Rent fines rocket as government clamps down

Meanwhile, the government forces taxpayers to house tens of thousands with no ‘Right to Rent’, not only are they mad, WE are mad to permit its continuance.

But helpless to prevent it… until we get a government of common sense.

The government only ‘has power’ because we permit them to have, that is so in a representative democracy, the conclusion must then be that we are NOT in a representative national democracy but a supranational totalitarian government that is going for the endgame of trial control, Digital ID handcuffs anyone?

Well there is an episode of the simpsons where 2 aliens are standing for election. Neither is any good for the country, but as one of them says….

“what are you going to do… Its a 2 party system”

I’m reminded of Peterloo, the blindness of the state to ills it creates, the villification of ‘dissenters’ including journalists, the use of leathal force against civilians, reform did happen but very slowly and even then, was it rigged to maintain a ‘near’ status quo. I don’t advocate revolution, they are usually agitated by outsiders with an agenda, better to win through the ballot box however gradually but that might have to happen at street level first, it has happened before but ‘the Establishment’ will then punish their temerity, today you might look at Venezuela and their newly installed ‘peace prize’ winning war hawk and advocate for everything bad happening in Gaza. I no longer think it is a ‘two party system’ but a uniparty system with different faces

It has been a uniparty State since 2010. Brexit only happened because Cameron was afraid but thought it wouldn’t happen when the majority of Parliament, the Lords, institutions, academia, Bank of England, Obama, not to.mention the EU were against it, and he could use taxpayers money and the media to argue against it. And it hasn’t really happened since 2016.

BUT… we will see a real challenger over the next 2 years, supported by money, tech-heavy campaigning, and really smart people. Forget the early days teething troubles. It’s to be expected and will evolve. It’s already happening behind the scenes and it’s exciting for the majority, and frightening for the establishment. Let’s see Trump come out and tell us we ‘will be at the front of the queue’ if we vote out the uniparty.

Yeah id agree with that… No real difference between them, but a great danger for us all.
Even Starmer has had the audacity to admit that people’s legitimate concerns over immigration had been ignored for too long, yet he continues to brand protestors as agitators and racists.

Im against protests which disrupt the lives of others on principle, but the Palestinian ones were largely old people and clergy, hardly the usual suspects and yet the police still arrested hundreds of them.

We also have the case of Tommy Robinson (and Im not a fan) being charged under a terrorist offence (legal. Costs paud by Elon Musk) for refusing to reveal his phone PIN number for what appears to be a police fishing trip through his personal information.

How does kier starmer (the human rights lawyer) square all that
