The Financial Times has an expensive paywall. British people usually read free newspapers.

However, this story is so important that the Financial Times decided to drop the paywall.

      He was an absolute dose but Trump is a scrotal tick. He is an insanely outrageous piece of shit. Its really not fair to anyone outside of other serial rapists, cowards, abusers and those responsible for thousands of deaths to likened to him.

      Bojo was a cheater but it would appear none were raped or a child or both. He also took a strong stance on Russia and held it, the only stance Trump holds for Russia is downward dog. It is thenonly consistent position he holds.

    Good story, didn’t know. Lovely look behind the corrupt scenes. However it is more than 4 years old. It’s undoubtedly still relevant and ongoing in one way or another, but it’s not breaking news.

    The fact that we all casually talk about how big money is almost a requirement to get into, run, manage, and maintain politics … goes to show you how democratic the system is.

      The fact that corporations are the dominate social structure is undisputable. Everything, including notions of democracy, is secondary to this. Whenever there is a conflict between wealth and the general populace the government will always side with money due to corruption.

      This is pretty universal across all nations. There is not a democracy that does not suffer from this problem. At this point it really does feel that democracy in most forms is just a window dressing for corportocracy.

    What’s with this 4 year old fantasy/opinion piece being presented as both recent and factual?
