Finally, Martin from BTC Prague wonders how to empower bitcoiners in the UK.
He's inspired by many UK scientists and artists and creators.
But he thinks it's declining. Socialism and regulation reducing freedom.
His home country had a peaceful velvet revolution, ending communism in the 80s.
And it now has a law that there is no capital gains tax on long term held bitcoin!
The UK, he thinks, needs to build new strong bitcoin based money to have it's own peaceful revolution.

"Health officials are urging people to take extra precautions - including wearing a face mask if you have symptoms - as four winter viruses continue to circulate across the UK."
"If you have symptoms"? Nice start, but maybe also mention that covid is infectious _before_ symptoms! Or indeed _without_ any symptoms!
At least the person in the photo has a fitted(ish) mask and not a "baggy blue". Well done to whoever selected that. One little step in the right direction.

The UK is (still) going backwards.
"Since 2019, the number of privately educated elites has barely changed and in some fields is growing, the report found. The social mobility charity said it was a “disgrace” that most of the country’s top jobs were still dominated by privileged people"
But of course we must tax the poor to subsidise the rich.

The China spy saga – a concocted controversy to shackle us to Trump | Morning Star
https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/china-spy-saga-concocted-controversy-shackle-us-trump
A lot of media today excited that US companies are "investing" in the UK with announcements timed with the visit from that wanker they elected over there.
But "investment" here means US companies buying UK land and staff and companies, right?
The whole press is celebrating more of the UK being sold to American owners. Like its a really great thing that UK workers will have American bosses and American companies will own and manage sites here.
Seems an odd thing to celebrate. I'd be happier if UK companies were repossessing US assets in this country and the country's wealth was expected to remain with UK owners.
Oh well. Expect "investment" has already meant those media companies are owned by Americans eh?

The UK hates antisemitism so much that here they are arresting the daughter of a Holocaust survivor for protesting Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.
Wait, no that doesn’t make sense… so maybe they don’t hate antisemitism but they love fascism and genocide? I guess that makes more sense given their history of colonialism and slavery.

"Labour has also won every time the Senedd has been contested, as it will be again in May. Yet, if the most recent Wales-wide poll holds good, that is set to change. Plaid will instead be the largest party, just ahead of Reform UK, with Labour third. Though still a minority, Plaid would be in government. In Welsh terms, that would be a political earthquake. Perhaps in Britain-wide terms too"
