The Oligarch’s Oligarch https://www.monbiot.com/2022/10/30/the-oligarchs-oligarch/   George Monbiot 30th October 2022

Just as we need to get the money out of politics, we have been gifted a Prime Minister who represents the ultra-rich.

While Rishi Sunak was chancellor, the government repeatedly delayed its manifesto promise to ban no-fault evictions. Landlords are ruthlessly exploiting this power to throw their tenants on to the street or use the threat to force them to accept outrageous rent rises and dismal conditions. Had Sunak’s “help to buy” mortgage scheme succeeded (it was a dismal flop), it would have raised house prices, increasing rents and making ownership less accessible: the opposite of its stated aim. But this, as with all such schemes, was surely its true purpose: to inflate the assets of existing owners, the Conservative party’s base.

Public services are collapsing at breathtaking speed. Headteachers warn that 90% of schools in England could run out of money next year. NHS dentistry is on the verge of extinction. Untold numbers are now living in constant pain and, in some cases, extracting their own teeth. The suspicion that the NHS is being deliberately dismembered, its core services allowed to fail so that we cease to defend it against privatisation, rises ever higher in the mind.

4 insights on BJP’s Madhya Pradesh challenge & why it has thrown Union ministers & MPs into battle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnjVT0GmSFM ThePrint  Sep 27, 2023 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnjVT0GmSFM
The BJP has so far, over three lists, announced 79 of its candidates for the election to the 230-seat Madhya Pradesh assembly. The second list included three union ministers and four other MPs. In episode 1317 of #CutTheClutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta explains what the BJP’s lists say about its plans for the crucial Hindi-heartland state and the challenges it faces, the fallout of the 2020 Jyotiraditya Scindia rebellion against the Congress, and the calculation behind sending national leaders back to state polls.

एक अजीब सी मुश्किल । Kunwar Narayan poem recited  by Rajendra Gupta | Dhai Aakhar Prem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-1n2V83sok   Sep 15, 2023

“समय
पागलों की तरह भटकता रहता
कि कहीं कोई ऐसा मिल जाए
जिससे भरपूर नफ़रत करके
अपना जी हल्का कर लूँ
पर होता है इसका ठीक उलटा
कोई-न-कोई, कहीं-न-कहीं, कभी-न-कभी
ऐसा मिल जाता
जिससे प्यार किए बिना रह ही नहीं पाता”

- कुंवर नारायण
कविता पाठ - राजेंद्र गुप्ता
