#Scientology In #London Is A Joke

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQQr9CcUYPw
Today we're taking a very #British gander at @scientology London: their hilarious welcome video, their terrible Instagram and website, all of which reveal that almost no one is actually going to their #church here. Wrapping up with a go at the infamous '#personalitytest'!

Currupt appointed by the corrupt.

"#City veteran and former #MasterCard boss Rick #Haythornthwaite worked for #PetroSaudi International (UK) Ltd, the oil group’s #British arm, for eight years, earning £200,000 a year.

The #oil group is alleged to have been involved in a scheme to divert hundreds of millions of dollars from 1MDB, a sovereign wealth fund created for the benefit of #Malaysia and its people"

Former #British soldier fighting in Ukraine found dead with hands tied

I and Graham Smith of the UK anti-monarchist campaign group #Republic respond to an article in #Aftenposten that claims the #British actually earn money from the #Monarchy. They do not. This is twaddle. So suggestions that #Norway might also make a net profit from their #King are also likely to be twaddle too. #AboloshTheMonarchy #NorgeSomRepublikk

Tobacco company #British American Tobacco has sold its business in #Russia and #Belarus to the local management, RBC reports.

This is the beginning of the global #climate catastrophe. Every reduction in greenhouse gas emissions will reduce the impact. But, business as usual is not fit to deal with a #ClimateEmergency

"#British travel company Jet2 announced that it was cancelling all flights and holidays to the Aegean island of Skiathos, the closest to Volos, until 12 September because of the weather" https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/06/uk-heatwave-floods-south-east-europe-omega-weather-system

Business-as-usual private companies are simply reacting to the #ClimateCrisis at it happens

“Brora, the best British beach you’ve never heard of” (how #British is it, I wonder… I’d always think of this as #Scottish)

Classic London #Guardian view: #Brora, a wee town on the A9 has a beach nobody’s heard of, apparently. Yawn. https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2023/sep/06/brora-scotland-the-best-british-beach-youve-never-heard-of?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Oh Challenger 2 tank, brave and true
What made you venture to Ukraine?
Your courage and strength
Tested at length
But still you refuse to be subdued

Along with #Freedland & #Toynbee (among others), with full-throated encouragement from @guardian Editor-in-Chief Kath #Viner, Rafael #Behr essentially led the #Guardian’s five-year-long assault on #Corbyn & his leadership team - thereby legitimising the #ZionistLobby’s #ItWasAScam #FakeAntiSemitism slur and giving the #FarRight press & #BBC state media “permission” to jump on the “destroy Corbyn” bandwagon!

Whilst they won’t admit it, #Behr et al & the Guardian fundamentally betrayed what remains of #British democracy & probably destroyed any future possibility of a #DemocraticSocialist government in Britain!

Having helped return both #May’s & #Johnson’s #Tories to power in 2017 & 2019, Behr is today ⤵️ rightly savaging the #Tories & #Sunak for having “no new ideas and nothing to say about the problems facing Britain, most of which are the product of choices made by the party he leads. This is the point of no return, when Conservatives realise that renewal in office is not possible, and that they need to be in opposition almost as much as the country wants them out of government.”

Problem is: after three-years of giving @UKLabour “leader” Sir #KidStarver & his Shadow Cabinet of #Blairite nondescripts & no-hopers a “free pass”, the Guardian is also belatedly waking up to the fact that the #Mandelson-influenced ‘heart’ of #Labour thinking is suffused with such vapidity as to make it utterly clueless in the face of the crises we all now face!

The country is at an historical crossroads heading into the 2024 general election yet, all the evidence available strongly suggests that neither the party currently in government nor the opposition (& potentially the next party in government) have got the “nous” or the “balls” to do what they both know *must* be done for the sake of the country and the future of the planet!

“The Tory mission has failed: British people don’t want a smaller state”

Lisa Nandy is a hard working intelligent MP who actually delivers on her promises. Starmer has chosen to demote her for Angela Rayner, a person who spends her days blocking anybody she disagrees with online. Are Labour actively trying to lose the next election?
