"One should not give a poisoner medicine,
A conjurer fine apparatus, nor
A rifle to a melancholic bore."

Not to mention the biggest arsenal in the world to a narcissistic attention-seeker.

Scotland unveils world's first law that would shift wealth towards local communities This could radically transform how money is distributed throughout the country…and across the globe.

Scotland's Community Wealth Building Bill is a potentially world-changing strategic economic law with the power to end billionaire domination. Little wonder that *zero* English media outlets have covered it.

With its fawning, wall-to-wall pandering to Reform, the BBC is now promoting the violent ethnic cleansing of the United Kingdom.

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

It is worth remembering that Dachau was a factory before the Reich turned it into a concentration camp. Fascists prefer efficiency, at least when it has to do with the disposal of human beings.
