Well played Starmer - Rolled over like a puppy. On the plus side, giant tech companies pay fuck all tax, so a lower rate of fuck all is still fuck all. Imagine cutting disability benefits at the same time as giving the most profitable companies that ever existed tax breaks - what a time to be alive   #brexit #politics #ukpolitics #bbc #news #EU #Labour #keirstarmer #Starmer #labourparty #RejoinEU #conservatives #rachelreeves #austerity

John Kenneth Galbraith's observation about conservatism is as relevant as ever.

"The modern conservative is not even especially modern. He is engaged, on the contrary, in one of man’s oldest, best financed, most applauded, and, on the whole, least successful exercises in moral philosophy. That is the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."

The modern conservative is not even especially modern. He is engaged, on the contrary, in one of man’s oldest, best financed, most applauded, and, on the whole, least successful exercises in moral philosophy. That is the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. It is an exercise which always involves a certain number of internal contradictions and even a few absurdities. The conspicuously wealthy turn up urging the character-building value of privation for the poor. The man who has struck it rich in minerals, oil, or other bounties of nature is found explaining the debilitating effect of unearned income from the state. The corporate executive who is a superlative success as an organization man weighs in on the evils of bureaucracy. Federal aid to education is feared by those who live in suburbs that could easily forgo this danger, and by people whose children are in public schools. Socialized medicine is condemned by men emerging from Walter Reed Hospital. Social Security is viewed with alarm by those who have the comfortable cushion of an inherited income. Those who are immediately threatened by public efforts to meet their needs — whether widows, small farmers, hospitalized veterans, or the unemployed — are almost always oblivious to the danger.

Canadians, if at some point you find yourself considering voting anything but ABC in the next federal election, just have a quick look at what's going on in #Alberta

Where every deeply unpopular thing the #UCP promised they wouldn't do in order to get elected, they are now doing regardless of what Albertans think.
