Davriellelouna@lemmy.worldto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Thames Water nationalisation prep 'stepped up', says governmentEnglish5·22 days agoI’m not British, so I should not get involved in British Politics. But privatizing water was a mistake of epic proportions. Keir Starmer needs to have some guts and nationalize it. Enough is enough.
The trash media (The Sun, Daily Hate Mail) talks about poor people stealing welfare, while corporate financiers stole BILLIONS OF POUNDS from you and your families:

Who privatized water? Margaret Thatcher.
After her time in office, she became a lobbyist for tobacco companies:

They even paid her birthday party:
Philip Morris’s chief executive, Geoffrey Bible, will chair the dinner. A spokesman for the company said: “Philip Morris is writing the Thatcher Foundation a cheque to cover the cost of the party. That leaves all the money made, like ticket sales, as profit to the foundation.”

It says it all, doesn’t it?
Please take your water back!!! Write to your MPs.

One reason why I give money to The Guardian Australia is because I hate the facts so many people get their news from Newcorp :/
Davriellelouna@lemmy.worldOPto Australia@aussie.zone•More Australians get their news via social media than traditional sources for first time, report findsEnglish2·25 days agoDon’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. I’m not Australian, but you still have some very good Australian news organizations:
-
The Sydney Morning Herald
-
The Guardian
-
Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC
-
Crikey
I believe the real issue is that people are actually attracted to clickbait nonsense.

As a non-Brit, I watch what’s happening like it’s a slow motion car wreck.
France has 2 round parliamentary elections.
First round: You vote for someone to represent your constituency. Only 2 candidates remain.
Second round: Two weeks later, it’s the second round. You vote for one of the 2 candidates that won the first round. The winner becomes an MP.
Throughout France, Marine Lepen candidates won 35% to 40% of the votes in the first round. They qualified for the second round. Luckily, in the second round, citizens rallied against Lepen candidates, voting for whoever was their opponent.
What will happen if Nigel Farage gets 35% or 40% 😲? You don’t have a second round…
If France used the FPTP voting system, Marine Lepen would be ruling the country with a huge majority in Parliament.
