Post Office’s first reaction to the suicide of a sub-postmaster it accused of stealing was to hire a media lawyer to protect its “brand reputation”. Widow silenced by a non-disclosure agreement to get phased compensation. Not an ounce of humanity. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
London Stock Exchange CEO pay rises from £6.25m to more than £13m. No link to corporate performance - companies are fleeing UK. Govt preaches real wage cuts to workers, but no curbs on exec pay, dividends, share buybacks, profiteering. It is class war. theguardian.com/business/2024/…

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.
@RobertMackey @CarolineFohlin He threw her on the ground, her face digging in the pavement. As if that wasn't enough, another officer kneeled on her back. She wasn't fighting, wasn't resisting. So why the excessive force? Why no emotional control? Why no situational awareness? 😬 @EmoryUniversity
