#Budget #UKPolitics This article by Gary Stevenson is so good, please read every word of it.

“Whatever Jeremy Hunt says, traders know the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. And they’re paid millions to bet on it.”

This is what the world is - it is run by a minute elite for a minute elite and the rest of us, the masses, the natural world, we just don’t count. It is a #TragedyOftheNonCommons (will reshare my own piece on this below 1/n)

Today is the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights!

Adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10th December 1948, the declaration was a response to Nazi atrocities and presents the foundational principles for human rights across the world.

Never has it been more important to remind ourselves of their existence and validity.

I invite you to read and share them today! A brief 🧵 1/n

@pvonhellermannn wow... looking at just the first few it sounds so hopeful, but for almost each and every single one I can give an example of how it was disregarded at at least one point in the last decade.

A timely reminder of one of the VERY FEW decent things the UN has ever achieved.

I would add to that people should search for and check out the children of the UDHR - The Council Of Europe (1949) and its' The European Convention of Human Rights 1950/3 and The European Court of Human Rights.

The UK's borderline illegitimate siblings of the European Convention - "The Human Rights Act 1998", The Equality Act 2006 and utterly illegitimate Foster Parent: The Equality & Human Rights Commission (2007).

Sadly, the UK Fascist Party is trying to force through the "Data Protection and Digital Information Bill" and the "Safety of Rwanda Bill" - which are the death of human rights - before it (Tory Party) is consigned to electoral oblivion and the UK Red Not Really Fascist Party is doing nothing to stop either or committing to repeal them IF passed; or help the many people forced into extreme deprivation since 2010.

I am waiting for someone to realise the solution to ALL the Boat crossings is to stop the (resource/idiotological) wars (refugees) and ENFORCE the bloody UDHR worldwide (Asylum Seekers)!

Noone has yet admitted that current migration patterns are a drop in the ocean (pun intended) compared to when 4 percent, or higher, above pre industrial level temperature levels rise alongside the less obvious effects of pollution - drive up to 2/3 of the world into mass migration for survival.
