While millions of pounds were spent on the spectacle of the funeral of the half-German queen of England, kids in the U.K. are going hungry, food is left rotting in fields due to lack of workers to pick … after all the white natives mostly feel too entitled to a life of ease to do hard physical work … It feels as if hardly anyone is doing any basic thinking to join the dots between the elites’ consumption of resources and ownership of land, and the majority who are struggling to find the money for basics.

It is dispiriting to say the least.
