On a war footing

The war on the most vulnerable is ramping up and many voices in the press and wider media are complicit.

Loitering.

With promises of public punishments and pre-crime powers for landlords, Sunak and Starmer are both cheered by a press that delights in cruelty.

..I blame the software - I got that odd "form re-submission" "confirm/cancel" msg - and my pithy comment seems to have self-replicated and jumped.

You are the most tedious, juvenile person on a message board I've seen. Are you 14 years old? nm

Also, have you ever read a single article posted here, or just sneered at headlines nm

Decent stuff but marred by the following remark.

"...or, in one case, trying to avoid being murdered by Putin. I spoke last week to a 26-year-old Ukranian woman called Nataliia who showed me a picture of a pile of rubble where part of her hometown once stood."

How come he is wise to the ways of the msm and psychos in power when it comes to social policy but not when it comes to the evil Putin wanting to "murder" people?

She doesn't write about the MSM.

She interviews people at job centres (currently one in Stockport) who are at the sharp end of social policy, and brutalised by the DWP.

The quote you highlighted wasn't from articles by Mic Wright.

It was from one by Kate Belgrave....

Neither of those articles mention Putin or Ukraine. See my previous reply to you,

My apologies John, yes you are correct.
I mistakenly thought the two title lines were written by the author of the two articles.
Was totally wrong attributing the Putin quote too.
Thanks for the correction.

No worries Ed.

Mic Wright's stuff and Kate Belgrave's blog are both worth following.
