31/03/1990: The anti-Poll Tax riot. One of the very best days of my life. After 11 years of #Thatcherism we'd had enough. We swept her
Metropolitan Police Service thugs off the streets of London when they attacked us. We broke Thatcher's #PollTax and broke Thatcher too. NO POLL TAX!
In a "developed country"???
That is more than 1 in 5 Brits suffering hunger.
The result of 4 decades of #Thatcherism and #ultracapitalism, but also #brexit and #climatechange.

A sad indictment of #Thatcherism and its effect on #sport.
Workplace sport was a hugely important aspect of civil #society until deindustrialisation, attacks on trade unions, and the withdrawal of workplace welfare (remember that?) killed it. Blatant vandalism.

Propaganda works. #ReformUK is repacked #Thatcherism.. to put it politely.
#Davos is a good time to blow another hole through orthodoxy. #NigelFarage will provide a repackaged #Thatcherism- tax cuts, deregulation, inequality. The war abroad v. Putin can be replaced by a war at home v. immigration & transition to the Agentic A.I. economy. #BlueMaga #DHS #Idaho #UK #Britain
'Spot the Difference'
between the 1940s and today.
Spoiler: there is none.

Recently, I was in Malmö & gave a talk on The Miners Strike of 1984-85. I contextualised the year long dispute, how it began and the social and political consequences after, some of which are still being felt.

Shortening supply.
#Thatcherism #SupplysideEconomics #Reaganomics
Assets are 'redistributed'. Euphemism. Clearly.
While keeping supply short.
Political. Influence. Via corrupted people.

Not difficult.

That bitch Thatcher proudly crushed unions like she was speed-running “How Fast Can I Destroy Working Towns.”
She deregulated everything that wasn’t nailed down, then sold the nails.
She called it “There is no society.”
We noticed.
#UKEconomy #Thatcherism #WorkersRights 💔
Thatcher same.
#Reaganomics
Low taxes for the rich.
Trickle up.
#Thatcherism
Kill the Unions.

#Austerity #Thatcherism & #Reaganomics were the different guises of Chicago School Economics: IE destroy organised labour & privatise EVERYTHING. Imposing these policies on Chile required the murder - by the state: under Pinochet's CIA installed dictatorship - of thousands of people

Privatisation of public services was only ever going to go one way. #Thatcherism. When will her true legacy come to light?
Like all #toryboys
They can't help but brown nose lobbyists and the mega rich
4 decades of
#thatcherism and corruption
Echos of #Thatcherism from the #RightWing #Labour party.
Privatisation ONLY every benefits the rich & we all pay throught the nose for an inferior product & service.
#Starmer is not on our side. As long as his wealthy "mates" & cronies benefit, he doesn't care about us being ripped off.
Some practice work for our session tomorrow night in Stockholm at #LarrysCorner
