Maintenance crewmen climbing on top of Graf Zeppelin to repair damage caused by storm over the Atlantic Ocean during flight, 1934. Photo by Alfred Eisenstaedt. Can you even imagine getting that task?

Twitter is the new MSM Ask your government if the feed is manipulated or controlled. Did you give them permission to do it? Are you paying for it? Of course you are.

Climate change is the new Covid.
Ask your government if the weather is manipulated or controlled.

Is that a straight subsidy, or is some of that loans? Specifically loans against US armaments and related tech.

The move to local is surely part of the solution for this government. The point about >0 sum is valid and important. But we must be *VERY* wary that devolution doesn't come with built-in targets for 'efficiency' (cuts). This would strangle it in the cot.

It's much more of a marker than in 2012, but he state still plays a significant role. For example NHS bursaries offset and in some cases meet fees. More of this could let Blue Labour off the hook by letting them spend more while keeping fees fixed. Where the money comes from is more difficult.
