A year on from the start of Putin's 3 day campaign against Ukraine, here's a reminder that Johnson blamed the EU for Putin's 2014 attack on Crimea.

Just for the irony factor, here's the story reported in The Independent, a newspaper owned by the Russian oligarch son of a KGB agent whom Johnson made a Lord & gave the power to influence UK laws.

Curious that Tories who've taken Russian money are amongst those seemingly most keen on Brexit...

That reality lends weight to the findings of this report...

The UKs decline:

Govt run:
Try to provide a good service & do the best you can.

Tory Govt run:
Provide a poor service & sell all you can.

Privatised:
Provide a basic service & charge as much as you can.

The Tory future:
Provide nothing, take everything & blame anyone you can.

Protecting education by paying teachers a wage upon which they can afford to live is essential to attracting new teachers to the profession.

Tories don't value education - they've cut training/education budgets in colleges, the NHS & schools - causing harm & shortages everywhere.

For Tories, everything on the cheap is their mantra... Everything, that is, except their subsidised lifestyles, taxpayer funded expenses & corrupt crony contracts.
#NeverTrustAToryPolitician

Together, 650 MPs claimed £135,810,637 in expenses in one year.

- That's an average of £208,939 each.

The entire cost of admin & paying UC to 2.3m claimants is £76bn.

- That's an average of £33,043 per person (inc DWP admin & running costs).

Guess which one Tories want to cut.

There's a disgraceful culture of 'something for nothing'... among Tory MPs.

It's fuelled by expenses, donors & taxpayer subsidies.

Read about it in the Dreary Fail, which is owned by a non-dom who pays zero tax in the UK.

Tories keep tax loopholes open so #TaxParasites can avoid paying their fair share.

Lower tax revenue means larger service cuts, less money for iinvestment, & no money for public sector pay rises.

Tory donors reward Tories for harming public finances & protecting tax avoidance.

The UK is run by the party of #TaxParasites.

They've rigged tax laws for their mates & kept avoidance loopholes open for their donors.

They've squandered tax revenue on cronies, moved money to tax havens & cut services because there's nothing left.

...& we're all suffering for their greed.

It's time they paid it all back, & some should lose their liberty for their blatant evasion, collusion & corruption.

Journalism is the 4th estate & is supposed to hold the powerful to account.

Unfortunately, the powerful own the media that employs the journalists so only the version of the truth that suits the objectives of powerful is ever aired & everyone else is kept in the dark.

With 80% of UK media owned by Tory donors/supporters, it's little wonder Tory propaganda plays such a dominant role in demonising dedicated, caring people & deceiving the public.

We had a functioning NHS.
We had a healthy economy.
We had a tolerant society.
We had clean rivers.
We had rising standards.
We had stable prices.
We had an honest Government.

We don't have these things anymore.

Instead, we have Tories.

In all circumstances, Tories squander our money with impunity.

If they're caught, they cling onto their jobs & squander our money to cover their tracks.

If they're brought to account, they lie to our faces & squander our money to evade justice.

...or helping the poorest in society.

That's because they're greedy & by creating a never ending spiral of decay & failure, they can exploit every situation to maximise profits for disaster capitalists & prepare the NHS for sale to cronies.

Nothing that fails this badly for so long, fails by accident.

Tories deliberately scuppered a deal to end the rail strike with a last minute clause that added new working conditions.

That intervention has prolonged the strike.

Meanwhile, Tories spend our taxes (money they say we can't afford to pay to nurses) to compensate private train operating companies & protect their profits during the strike.

They're taking us for a ride.

Tories ruined the UK. They've squandered £billions, gave our taxes to their cronies, & crashed the economy.

Now they want us to pay for their incompetence & greed, & are trying to turn people against the key workers upon whom we rely so heavily.

Q. What's the difference between indentured servitude & the proposed new Tory anti-strike laws?

A. About 100 years.

I've painted a break future.

I hope it never comes true.

But this is reality for many third world countries.

It's also the reality in the most depressed areas of the US.

It's the dream of wealthy libetarian Tories to bring it to us, here in the UK.

The end of free healthcare means, if you fall ill, you won't be able to afford care.

No money also means no home.

To survive, you'll become so desperate you'll work for little more than food.

Charter Cities won't just oppress those they control, they'll undermine everywhere.

Since they won't contribute to tax revenue, cuts in services will hit the whole country... but not the rich.

Voicing opposition to Tory plans could see you tagged, placed under house arrest or even imprisoned.

Our cities could be turned into Charter City fiefdoms, owned by billionaires who can cut your pay, dictate your hours & control your life, including your movements.

Welfare cuts will drive those struggling into extreme poverty.
