It's mad that we'll once again try to tackle inflation (caused by fossil fuels increasing the price of energy) by raising interest rates, which will in turn make the real long-term solution (not fossil energy sources) more expensive in the short term. Monetary policy is homeopathy.
The only solution is moving off fossil fuels and low interest rates for renewables
YES!!! 🙌

The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
Why the hell does this show mean so much to me? Because it’s a great show and I love doing it. This Saturday I’m RECORDING IT in London. If you would like to be part of the magic I have a few tickets left (at the back so you can be anonymous) www.leicestersquaretheatre.com/show/ria-lin...
Would love to sometime. Need recommendations for a few theatres or places to play
