Last Notes npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 @nprofile…ey74 It's the way they just lie about the situation that I hate. The water may be discoloured, but the problem is that it isn't getting here. And what is their remedy? Last time it happened, we had a bowser down the road, pumping water to our houses. Nothing this time, just lies. npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 Angry with Dwr Cymru today. No water since yesterday. Today their web site says the water may be discoloured. THERE IS NO WATER. Mrs W phoned them and "blah blah airlock blah". It might be fixed by 10 am tomorrow, supposedly. npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 One of my brothers shared this with me... https://toot.wales/system/media_attachments/files/116/936/423/988/178/451/original/679ace70e1e08d0e.jpg npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 One second after the man with the weird glasses put this battery powered piece of junk on the wall, glowing vapour started to fall out of it. But I will be fooled by this advert because they've told me it was invented in Wales. https://toot.wales/system/media_attachments/files/116/894/617/165/855/959/original/23809a3e3e290bcc.jpg npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 @nprofile…nmr0 It's a stupid idea, anyway. Last time I checked, over a hundred people had EXACTLY the same name as me. npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 @nprofile…x9tq Still baffled, thanks. Also, thought the agora was the market place, but am going to lie down now... npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 @nprofile…x9tq Attlee managed to improve the standard of living rather well, in spite of the mess WW2 left us in, including having to pay the huge bill the USA presented us with. J M Keynes pointed out that "Anything we can do, we can afford to do." We just need to remove the politicians the rich have put there, and let people who actually care about other people run things. npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 @nprofile…f4r9 @nprofile…la7y Is it? It grows lots of little mushrooms, as well. No idea what sort. npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 @nprofile…la7y Farmer a mile away gives horse poo away.

Enriching themselves by toadying to the ultra wealthy is apparently the actual reason they get themselves elected. npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 I'm about to start shearing fluff monster Truffle. #DogsOfMastodon https://toot.wales/system/media_attachments/files/116/176/192/126/055/211/original/779707191e48135d.jpg npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 There's no sound reason why we can't have the things the country needs. The cuts, the "austerity", and the poverty, are things our governments have decided to do to us, because the people controlling them want them to do it. It won't do. https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/02/28/modern-monetary-theory-isnt-just-theory-it-describes-how-the-uk-really-works/ npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 @nprofile…la7y Referring to Hannah Spencer as "a representative who is more interested in dividing people than uniting them" is an impressively huge LIE, even from Starmer. Starmer is a disgrace to his office. npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 @nprofile…x9tq Maybe Labour should have tried not being the same as the Tories? npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 @nprofile…l70y Didn't people know he's an idiot? npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 @nprofile…x9tq Of course there will be requirements. All entrants to the EU have to fulfil requirements. Of course these requirements will "play badly" amongst the dolts who still think Brexit is going swimmingly. No matter what the barriers are, if we #RejoinEU, both us and the other members will benefit from it. The real myopia is ignoring that. npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 I pinched this picture from @nprofile…yrna Brian Cox is right. So, like Jeremy with Your Party, I am starting a new political party. This one automatically includes just over 8 billion of us, but not the billionaires, and already has a name, so no weeks wasted arguing about that... Welcome to Humanity. No, I'm not the leader. There isn't one. It's democratic. Let's save the world now .... #politics https://toot.wales/system/media_attachments/files/115/740/286/169/149/464/original/5d313ccdab620fa3.jpg npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 It would be good if more people supported the campaign to keep Thiel's Palantir spying system out of the NHS. https://notopalantir.goodlawproject.org/email-to-target/stop-palantir-in-the-nhs/ npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 #caturday I must be careful not to recycle Bellatrix with the cardboard. https://toot.wales/system/media_attachments/files/115/711/637/881/380/471/original/097422c4ea6a8288.jpg npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 @nprofile…t03n I'm a bit surprised he answered his doctor, as he never answers ANYONE on social media. He seems to be Write Only. npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 @nprofile…0gek That would be the #democracy where a handful of wealthy people finance the campaign to get a wealthy lawyer elected and then finance his advance to PM, so he can hand over billions of pounds of our money to wealthy people who own pharamceutical companies, without any debate in Parliament... https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/dec/11/keir-starmer-medicines-deal-donald-trump-cost-british-lives npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 Starmer rolled over for Trump, and agreed to give US pharmaceutical companies an extra £3b for the same amount of drugs. This was not discussed in Parliament. It was not voted on by MPs. It was what the wealthy people who put Starmer in place wanted. It is not democracy. It is corruption. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/dec/11/keir-starmer-medicines-deal-donald-trump-cost-british-lives #politics npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 @nprofile…0wyq Let's ignore that there aren't five images, just four. Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Fukushima Daiichi, Windscale. List of equivalent wind farm disasters? npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 @nprofile…pmx8 And again with alt-text. https://toot.wales/system/media_attachments/files/115/681/137/816/404/256/original/c27567f069aaa1e0.jpg npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 @nprofile…glz5 It has been so long since I looked at the New Statesman, that I have forgotten why I was avoiding them. But what would be wrong with both looking at the deeper social roots of a problem, AND doing something about the problem itself? npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 Been there, signed that! I'm still wondering what was so embarrassing in the earlier Russia Report that Bogus Johnson refused to show us... #nevent1q…sl52 npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 @nprofile…35ec Why? Because we are being ruled by liars who know how the economy actually works, but tell us it's like a household budget, so that the rich can continue to get richer. npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 @nprofile…35ec When I was a lad, the police didn't intimidate young women with infants, on behalf of a Prime Minister who was on the side of another Prime Minister who was doing a genocide. npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 Oh, and Richard does actually mention the people who benefit from the government pretending they are running a household. Surprise! It's the wealthy. Those wealthy people who sponsor MPs to do what they want get richer because the government pretends we can't have nice things. It has to stop. And apparently a Mr Polanski, of the Green Party, DOES understand this. Which is why the rich will do anything to stop him. npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 So the question is, how do we get our MPs to understand how government spending actually works? Because it isn't tricky, it doesn't need an Oxford PPE degree.

People like her have no place in what used to be decent party. She's imitating the Farage Company, and is clearly unfit for her job. npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 I stole this from @nprofile…tl7u - Bringing the entire world population up to decent-living standards would require only about 3% of existing global resource use. Right now, at least 80% of humanity is deprived of decent-living standards. More than 2 billion people do not even have stable access to food. These are massive levels of deprivation. ... npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 @nprofile…hzyj I can't be bothered to repeat my theory about the conspiracy...

I think you mean the direct result of a conspiracy by billionaires who wanted to weaken the EU, and open up the UK to exploitation, including forcing private health care on us, with some assistance from Russia. Have people really forgotten Tice visiting the billionaires, and then bragging "We're going to take the UK out of the EU"? It was a scam, a fraud, a crime, not just a 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲. #RejoinEU npub1wjmjvac8w9jufc2dzm4qpghuz3dlea6ep03d50d062exg4pqa3vql2huw6 Walrus 🏴 Now I don't know, was this guy always the wrong sort of person to be a Labour MP, or has he sold out?

"Reeves has been encouraged by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown to increase taxes on the gambling sector and use the revenue from that to reduce child poverty." These people STILL think the government has to collect pennies in a jar before they can spend anything.
