Might we start with blocking Blackrock, and its like?
It seems to me the obvious place to start.

The place to start is to reverse the concessions made to Big Tech in the recent “budget” that achieved so mu —– err.. precisely nothing.
The posh district of Dublin?
Coincidence, I think
But, maybe not
A great idea, but…

Thank you, Helen.
I have heard about the designs on farmland from different sources and influence on government policy. Recently, I heard that BlackRock is emphasising how Labour can combine tax, land and social reform by gunning after the aristos some Labour people felt slighted them at Oxford.
The land may be owned by different funds, some domiciled overseas, but all ultimately tied to BlackRock. Some funds will be called agricultural. Others have names like “special situations”.
In addition to BlackRock, Bill Gates’ Cascade Investment covets UK, Dutch and Romanian farmland as their Ukrainian investments are at risk. Gates was at Downing Street recently. Gates is also a shareholder in Bayer Monsanto.
If one reads the FT and Economist, one notices that the ads for selling farmland highlight the EU subsidies that can be accessed. The rich love socialism and corporate welfare.
Your last point is so true
Blocking Black Rock doing what exactly?
Taking control of UK finance and much of UK infrastructure
Thank you and well said, Richard, but please be careful as you are threatening the rice bowls of the likes of George Osborne, Rupert Harrison, Philipp Hildebrand and, if photos are any indication of future prospects, Angela Rayner, and the lobbyists who work a notch or two below.

Agreed.
But in an age of hyper-individualisation, supported by the law that says that corporations are ‘persons’ what would you expect?
I know that conspiracy theories abound, but everything has come to a convergence that seems to me to have a lot of design and intent in it, not happenstance.
And a closer look at history will also reveal the war between greed and society that has raged in human societies for centuries.
We, now, are just living in another chapter of it.
The questions is, will this be the last war because society will be well and truly vanquished? And at stake too is the planet.
With the info-sphere being flooded with shit, Quaker houses being raided, people of conscience being banged up in jail, political correctness being used to enforce fascism, and more, we have entered our darkest hour to be honest.
Superb segment on tariffs and the fact that four (but only four) Republican Senators voted against – including Rand Paul. Watch as you’ll have nothing On UK news networks with such gravitas and thinly veiled anger as from Lawrence O’Donnell

Very good
Worth listening to
This is why I have hope for America.
I struggle to find an equivalent here in the UK, with the exception of course of our host.
The British have always been more underhand in their lack of democracy than the Americans.
And it has nothing to do with ‘superior breeding’ or ‘good manners’.
These people at these channels are very brave, IMO
The name Senate was from the gathering of old men (these days persons(of gender))
I do wonder of politics might be less bad if we had more people entering it later in life when they had paid off their mortgages and got a half way decent pension so they would be less interested by post politics earnings and have less time in that particular trough anyway?
And removing Amazon from all public procurement protocols.
So much that could be done, there are solutions, but if we don’t have political democracy, we will never have economic democracy.
If political democracy worked they wouldn’t let us have it.
