This explains why our government is so keen to suppress dissent.
The UK 'House of the People' parallel parliament - 50 people nominated by their communities and 50 people selected by democratic lottery - has agreed 5 top priorities for political action:
1. Tax wealth by removing tax loopholes and closing tax havens
2. Slash political corruption by banning lobbying, gifting, and second jobs in politics
3. Establish a Future Generations Act which priorities people and nature over GDP
4. Implement an immediate embargo on all arms, trade and support for Israel and other countries which violate international law
5. Grant councils power to repurchase disused homes and protect renters’ rights.
Successful and fulfilling work “Vision Day” yesterday. Everyone brought their own ideas about what lunch should look like. My refried leftovers and pitta with hummus paled in comparison with the homemade salad bowls, tiger roll sandwiches, and a Tesco Meal Deal.

In summary, Marsden’s experiences with customer service are a litany of systemic failures, from technological glitches and long wait times to outright bureaucratic obfuscation and a perceived lack of accountability.

We have our work “Vision Day” tomorrow. Some last minute emails back and forth about what we might do for lunch. Agreement reached on “bring your own”. Still no “vision document” that we were promised. Wish me luck.

Hovercraft’s most ambitious and psychologically complex composition, this two-part epic traces the complete arc from deification to self-destruction. Beginning with “Now You’re God,” the song examines the toxic relationship between celebrity worship and personal identity, building through religious imagery and maternal prayers to the devastating conclusion of “Dying Comes So Easy.”
The haunting “frozen eye” imagery and repeated maternal prayers (“Pray for your son mama”) create hypnotic passages that mirror 📷obsessive thought patterns, while the religious symbolism elevates personal trauma to mythic proportions. The progression from external worship to internal destruction reveals the cruel mathematics of celebrity culture.
