The fact that Rishi Sunak was not only unelected by the British public but also unelected by the Conservative party makes him the first person in world history that I know of that has become the head of a democratic nation with literally no-one in the entire country voting for him.

Ngl, while I do get where RTD is coming from that the Disney deal could save Doctor Who from dying if the BBC does essentially die since the tory government are basically killing anything they can, BBC included- I really don't like the idea that the solution is just to give Doctor Who to Disney, given we all know what Disney is like with everything they own and would not hesitate to milk Doctor Who like they do with Marvel, let alone just adding to Disney's monopoly on everything we watch.

#doctor who #im not saying i'll jump ship as soon as i see it becoming marvellised #but as soon as i see 100 spin offs coming out of it #i wont be there for them #and like the fact that the air times are already americanized #but rtd is fine handing over a show that has had its 60+ years of life in the UK to an american company like disney.....#and like yeah i get it higher budgets are fun and all #but also ngl upon rewatching older new who and the SJA #dw was just more fun and such when it had a shitty budget #imma just be honest there #invasion of the bane is a comfort special for me #shitty cgi and all #the same going to alot of old new who #tho i guess this might explain shit like doctor who now just being fully pro-military and shit #we know how disney allows the military to dictate marvel nowadays after all...

He's staring at me while I'm trying to read a journal

#he's got dirt on his forehead and i dont know why #maybe he's interested in the authenticity of the ''Aztec'' crystal skulls held in both the British Museum and the Smithsonian Institution #or maybe he wants to know more about saw patterns and how they're used to indicate what era crystal carvings were made in #or MAYBE he's intrigued by the process in which crystal formation patterns can help dictate the country of origin of *one* specific rock #i hope he is because I am not #tag wall because writing down the main points helps me forget them less #meaning you beloved strangers are helping a duck with their homework so thank you for the free labor #btw i can share the actual pdf if anyone's interested #i joke about not caring but it's actually kinda cool? theres so much drama surrounding the crystal skull carvings #idk if the journal is from the UK or if the skull held in the British Museum is just special or something #but apparently its origin was a pretty big deal; until it was found to be completely fake lmao #if you wanna read it then uh reply or dm i guess

“Leadership is a privilege to better the lives of others. It is not an opportunity to satisfy personal greed.” ~ Mwai Kibaki

Cash for honours? Who knows, but when you have donated £5 million to the Tory Party and are then knighted by Rishi Sunak for “ business, charity and political service” a few eye brows are bound to be raised.

I am not sure what political service the Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Mansour has performed for Britain other than being a senior treasurer for the Conservative Party and donating £5 million pounds to their coffers in 2023. What we do know is that his time in Egyptian politics was rife with controversy.

In 2005 he was appointed Transport Manager under the Mubarak dictatorship. Mubarak was swept from power in 2011 after the Egyptian people had finally had enough of his dictatorial, undemocratic rule. During this time:

“Mansour was known to be part of the team of Mubarak’s son, Gamal. The general public quickly came to think of this collection of businessmen as being in government to serve their own corporate empires..." (Middle East Eye: 16/12/22)

In October 2009, after two passenger trains collided causing the death of 50 people, Mansour was sacked from his post as Mubarak’s Transport Minister. Returning to his business empire, he was again embroiled in political scandal when he was accused of:

“…partnering up with his cousin, Ahmed al-Maghrabi, who had served as housing minister under Mubarak, to buy thousands of square kilometres of land to construct a residential compound for a fraction of its market price.” ((Middle East Eye: 16/12/22)

Another political controversy involved sanction busting. In 2022 it came to light that Mansour’s Caterpillar dealership, Unatrac, was supplying machinery to Russia's oil and gas industry despite the international sanctions impose on Russia following Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

As for receiving a knighthood for his charity work, it seems he maybe less concerned with charity than in avoiding business taxes. Not only was Mansour’s company Unatrac trading with Russia despite international sanctions, it was also subject to HMRC investigations into tax avoidance.

“The firm co-owned by billionaire Tory treasurer Mohamed Mansour paid £3.2million in additional tax following an HMRC probe into the potential use of tax havens, it has emerged." (Sunday Mirror: 05/02/23)

Correct me if I am wrong, but surely if ALL taxes that are due were paid in full, then there would be less need for charity?

Billionaire Mansour, it would seem, is more interested in business, especially his own, than in politics or public service. The fact that the Tory Party are now prepared to accept money from donors who advocate the shooting of black MP's and from donors associated with dictators and tax avoidance says it all.

One (1) more joke about reconquering Gibraltar now that the queen has died and I'll kill someone

#for anyone who doesn't know there's a part of the iberian peninsula that's technically a british colony #the uk received it in the early 18th century as 'payment' for Felipe V becoming king of Spain (as our former king dictated lol)#pretty much since then there's this joke about reconquering Gibraltar and bringing spanish flags to give to the monkeys of Gibraltar #but? the people from gibraltar don't want to become part of spain? and with good reason we're poorer than the uk?

This country is hurtling towards authoritarianism and its terrifying, but the endless feed of cruelty and corruption from the government + press while most people are just trying to make it through day to day during the worst cost of living crisis in decades makes you feel so numb and powerless to it all

being told we should all celebrate the obscenely wealthy queens reign over this country this weekend is truly the icing on the fucking cake

#hows the last couple days been on hell island #the dictator wannabe prime minister changes rules so he doesnt have to quit whilw being investigated for breaking them #the press and people in power continue the demonisation of trans people and flirt with the idea of section 28 style shit #whats tomorrow lads eh?#everythings so much all the time #my solace is how much comes from England specifically not wales #uk government #uk #my posts

seriously wondering if we can call the uk a democracy anymore. we have a prime minister that less than 0.3% of the population voted for, we have a new king that we have no say on, people are getting arrested for protesting against the monarchy under the excuse of ‘offending someone’ and we are effectively having a day of mourning forced upon us for the funeral with important hospital appointments cancelled and people even getting kicked out of holiday lettings for the day. this reads like a dystopian world where a dictator has died, not something happening now in a supposed democratic country

#uk politics #queen elizabeth #this is all taken WAY too far #the fact that they have arrested people for holding up 'not my king' signs you've GOT to be joking #and the hospital appointments cancelled is just disgusting

The US isn't working on this plan alone

The Pentagon has said the process of building this port/pier could take 60 days. David Cameron has said it could take months. They're planning on starving Gazans for 2 months, killing tens of thousands of people.

The EU seems to think it could be done much quicker

However, every group involved in this farce wants to let Israel dictate how the port could be used meaning it will be just as ineffective as the airdrops.

The end goal is either to occupy Gaza as Biden proposed last year or to start the process of stealing its natural gas
