The utter folly of #Brexit highlighted again. UK is frozen out of the EU defence procurement fund. It may be that UK gets some crumbs, but it's a ludicrous situation. UK should be at the centre of the EU, strengthening the EU as the greatest force for good in our troubled world. #RejoinEU #StandwithUkraine shorturl.at/Bo8zB

March 22, 2017 – Paul Manafort, Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, accepted $10 million per year for consulting Oleg Deripaska—a Russian billionaire and one of Vladimir Putin’s closest allies. Manafort worked for Deripaska in 2005, and continued to do so “for years” after, before their relationship soured in 2014 when Deripaska alleged Manafort absconded with $18.9 million.

At the time, Manafort was managing the presidential campaign in Ukraine for Putin associate Viktor Yanukovich, and Deripaska tried to invest in a television station owned by Yanukovich’s cronies.

The money disappeared, or so alleged a filing from the Russian oligarch’s legal representation. Deripaska has since accused Manafort of fraud and pledged to recover the money. Manafort subsequently served as Trump’s campaign manager from May 19 through August 19, 2016.

If you'd like an example of how much we in the UK are being screwed on energy prices. You only have to look at the daily 'standing charge' we pay for utilities.

It's currently 65p per day for electric and 30p per day for gas.

It's going up in April to 68p and 32p on top of rises per kwh of use.

It's not that bad you might say... But here's 2 charts, for the exact same period.

Chart one is the total electric used inc the daily standing charge for the first 3 weeks of March.

The second chart is just the cost of the electric.

The difference is about 138%

Less than £10 for electric, and almost £14 for standing charges.

If Keith Sonderling truly wanted to “ensure we preserve our country’s core values”, he would not be placing libraries “in lockstep with this Administration” and ordering them to “focus on patriotism” or “promote American exceptionalism”.

Ministry of Truth shit.

As American Big Tech companies continue to flout EU regulations, and the US Government cuts off critical defense technology to Ukraine, there is a growing sentiment that the US shouldn't be relied upon for the technologies that many people and businesses use every day.

I wrote this latest @privacyguides article to highlight some of the many privacy-respecting, European tools that can replace the tech you use every day: privacyguides.org/articles/202…

March 22, 2017 – The Secret Service requested $60 million in additional funding to cover Donald Trump’s travel and the Trump family’s protection. Half of this budget would be allocated to protecting Trump’s private residence at Trump Tower.

The reason the Tower required such stringent security, at a cost of $26.8 million per year, was Melania Trump’s preference to reside there rather than the White House.

Separate bedrooms solution to the tune of 26 million a year. They sound tight.
