In order to fund wars, the Labour Party is ready and willing to sacrifice the elderly and the disabled

 

The Labour government that started in July 2024 started what was presumed to be a period of austerity, but soon after elections in which the Reform Party won 10 out of 16 local authorities the tune changed. More than 10 billion Pound for Mauritious, an undefined amount of money for Volodomir Zelensky, the promise to buil 6 ammunition factories, to build 12 nuclear submarines, to acquire jets capable of launching nuclear weapons and the list goes on. 

Nor the British Prime Minister, or the Chancellor of the Exchequer, or any other member of the Cabinent has been willing to tell the British people where the money is going to come from.

Where is the money coming from? A new term has been coined. Following QE Quantitative Easing, now comes QT Quantitative Tightening. The Bank of England is selling expensive bonds of public debt for lower prices and the Treasury has promised to cover the losses of the Bank of England. So monies that could have been used to finance better living standards. So, not enough money for disabled people, no money for schools, no money for the health service that the Labour Party has classified as "a wasteful NHS". 

Tomorrow´s decision in Parliament is very much linked to so called QT. We do not know what is going behind close doors, but we do know the Electorate´s reaction. Both Labour and Conservatives were massacred in the polling stations during the 2025 elections and 2026 could be an even more disastrous defeat for both Labour and Conservative.

Business activity in the United Kingdom has gone down 40% and there is a list of food chains closing branches across the country, as the number of cases of shoplifting goes up steadily. More taxes? More borrowing?

Vested Interests ban Iceland's advert that raises awareness about destruction of rainforests and animal habitats


Vested Interests ban Iceland's advert that raises awareness about destruction of rainforest and animal habitats


The supermarket chain Iceland is working to raise public awareness about the destruction of rainforests and animal habitats. To this end, the company produced an advert against the use of Palm Oil and announced that is no longer going to be selling products that contain Palm Oil. What happened? The advert was banned by British authorities to protect those who are destroying Rainforests. Now you know it. Britain is being run by multinationals that support political persecution not just of individuals that challenge the status quo but also of companies that seek to protect eco-systems from over-exploitation and destruction. 



Hello,
Our Christmas TV advert has been banned
As an Iceland customer, you’re probably aware we committed to removing palm oil from our own label food range by the end of 2018.
We decided to do something different with our Christmas advert this year and continue to raise awareness of rainforest destruction caused by palm oil production, and its devastating impact on the critically endangered orangutan.
However, it has been ruled our advert is not allowed to appear on TV alongside other supermarkets on the grounds of political advertising.  
You can watch our advert across our social media channels and on our website iceland.co.uk/environment and see why we want to offer our customers a Rang-Tan friendly Christmas - without palm oil.
