So this government minister, Angela Rayner, has a disabled son, Charlie. He was born prematurely and there were problems during the birth which left him blind and with special needs. Charlie was awarded compensation from the NHS, which was put into a trust for him. This money was his, to help him throughout his life.
Angela Rayner already had two homes, a house she owned, and a free house given to her as a perk of her job. But she decided this wasn’t enough. She wanted another one that cost £800K, and stole some of her son’s compensation to buy it. On top of this, she committed fraud by claiming it was her only home so she paid less tax on it.
She’s been found out now, and has resigned. An everyday prole like us would go to prison if we did all this, but our high and mighty overlords are protected from such consequences. This government treat disabled people like scum for claiming money to live (even though some of them have disabled kids themselves) all the while they are stealing and committing fraud to build up a portfolio of luxury homes.
EDIT: Oh, and Rachel Reeves, the evil minister who has tried to basically end disability benefits? She publicly stated that she supports Angela Rayner and has “full confidence” in her. Birds of an evil feather really do stick together.
I agree with almost all of that, I would frame it as the aristocracy working for the investor class having seized the left options of all of our parties. We have choices between conservatives, and fascists now. Or far right or whatever the case may be.
Where we differ is that Russia has indeed been sponsoring fascists across the West. Now the US will be as well. They themselves are not all that dissimilar from fascists either.
Establishment propaganda notwithstanding Russia is helping fascists seize control in Western countries, partly I presume because they know these dumbass fascists will ruin their countries and allow them not only revenge but to take a more commanding position in the world. Not the least with the US.
They’re doing the world that disservice though, innumerable harms will result from fascists in the US let alone the Domino’s that are going to fall across the rest of the West.
