I’m guessing that they didn’t have a panto season in South Africa at the time.

If Sir Keir Starmer had big balls as he claimed, he would be taking on the media baron's, not the sick and disabled.
The man is a coward.

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

As a sociologist, I need to point out: billionaires embracing authoritarian rhetoric isn't surprising - it's the logical endpoint of late-stage capitalism. Let's examine why power concentrates this way.

And we pick it up once a month and the council collects it. The common is owned, somewhat bizarrely, by the Ministry of Defence.

Agiflex 120 roll film single lens reflex camera made by Aeronautical and General Instruments Ltd of Purley Way Croydon. Sadly not fully working so not acquired. The Agiflex III was a better camera.

wanted posters on a light post taken at night of Steve Nelson, president of Aetna, David Joyner, president & CEO of CVS Health. Both feature photos of the execs with three bullets labeled DENY, DEFEND, DEPOSE detailing the wrongs of the healthcare industry (but not legible enough in the picture to transcribe).


“Healthcare CEOs should not feel safe. Deny - Defend - Depose” it says at the bottom.

Wanted posters of Marianne Lake, Denis Coleman, Brian Moynihan, Robin Vince in similar format as others, on a wall.

Communique:
On Wednesday morning over thirty CEOs will gather at the Conrad hotel for the second day of the Goldman Sachs Financial Services conference to discuss how they can become richer by extracting wealth, time, and energy from the working class from all over the world. 
To welcome them, anon actionists put up wanted posters of the leeches attending the conference, including Martin Smalls of Black Rock, Robin Vince of BNY Mellon, Denis Coleman of Goldman Sachs, and of course, Brian Thompson, the former CEO of United Healthcare.
These CEOs run companies that control trillions of dollars by stealing money, time, and labor from the working class. Do they care about the problems of poverty, homelessness, and injustice at these conferences? No, and their actions are violent. 
Health insurance companies (like financial services companies) don’t provide us with anything useful - they only limit our access to healthcare. Those who would steal from us have names, faces, and addresses. Justice will only come from the working class.
