Private Enterprise vs Public Service
Introduction This is not a rant against good private enterprise, but it is NOT a public service, despite many politicians telling us that certain ones are. This is a bit of observational history and why the world is in such a terrible economic and climactic state because of people being sold the new god of money.
Mike Singleton - MikeydredPublished 5 months ago in The SwampFestive priorities all screwed up in a desensitised world
Heading from the bus stop on Wood Street to the Aneurin Bevan statue on Queen Street the temperature was far too low to follow the normal route down St Mary Street, instead I took the path through St David’s Centre and immediately wished I’d braved the cold outside.

I’m not someone who generally approves of using sport for political ends, believing friendly competition is perhaps the best tool we possess to unite people from different cultures and backgrounds… but as more and more money has come into play during my lifetime even the world of sport has become tainted by greed and avarice.

Boasting an impressive list of speakers, including singer and TV personality Charlotte Church, Saturday’s Welsh National March For Palestine saw thousands of humanitarian crusaders from across Wales gather in Cardiff’s Central Square to express their prayers for the UK government to stop condoning Benjamin Netanyahu’s campaign of terror in Gaza, where tens of thousands of children and civilians have been slaughtered by the Israel Defence Forces since the false-flag Hamas raid on 7 October.

Oleh Smal drew the cartoon above in 2014. Putin had just annexed Crimea then and those of us who grew up in the Soviet Union knew he would not stop there. The vampire theme turned out to be prophetic.

Israel’s genocidal campaign against the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank is not an isolated atrocity... history is littered with similar inhumane examples of the savagery mankind is capable of. Cambodia, Vietnam, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Nazi Germany, the list is endless and spans centuries.

Just when you thought the situation in Gaza couldn’t get any more sinister, who should pop back up on the radar but former British prime ministers and World Economic Forum (WEF) facilitators David Cameron and Tony Blair.
Steve HarrisonPublished 5 months ago in The SwampLook beyond the propaganda and demand the genocide stops
It must be so comforting for Israel’s despotic Likud leadership to know their globalist allies around the world are backing their Gaza genocide campaign to the hilt, pulling out all the stops to justify this fascist government’s repetition of the Nazi atrocities unleashed in WWII. Did the lessons of the Holocaust count for nothing?
Steve HarrisonPublished 5 months ago in The SwampA Victim of Ignorance and Greed
Most of my adult life, I have been a renter or a guest. As a child, I was not expected to contribute financially to my mother's rent or mortgage payments. However, after high school graduation, as an independent adult, I was expect to afford my own housing. That expectation is not unfair, but for over 30 years, I have witnessed and experienced many leases or contracts or rental agreements that have been unfair and according to American history, illegal.

Sometimes there are reasons to be proud to be British, sadly yesterday was not one of them... with the motion calling for an immediate ceasefire to Israel's genocidal ethnic cleansing of Gaza defeated by 293 votes to 125 in Parliament.

The 2023 Election Day witnessed remarkable victories for the Democratic Party, with notable wins in Virginia, Ohio, New Jersey, and Kentucky. However, these triumphs occurred amidst low polling numbers for President Biden. My purpose is to reconcile these seemingly contradictory outcomes by delving into the factors that contributed to the Democrats' sweeping victories and exploring potential reasons behind President Biden's low polling figures, supported by relevant statistics.

The recent clash between Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin and Sean O'Brien, President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, during a Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee hearing has raised concerns about the state of discourse within congressional proceedings. While robust debate is an integral part of democracy, the overt escalation to a physical challenge underscores the urgency for a more measured and respectful approach.
