    But if the Panama papers didn’t do ? then this won’t

    Exactly. ? all will happen as always. The same politicians who take on what should be a low paying job and should be working towards preventing tax avoidance are the ones who are profiting off it and helping their mates in these huge corporations get richer.

    It's even more frustrating when the public continuously villainise immigrants, the unemployed and the powerless when these politicians and corporations are actively ? over the general public. This is the same public who will vote Trump and The Tories; the ones who will vote for Brexit but are happy to spend £999 on an iPhone X while Apple hide all their money in Jersey - the same public that take their anger out on others instead of the actual people with the cash. You get the world you deserve.

    UK Regulator Finds Fox News’ Hannity, Carlson Breached Impartiality Standards

    The British government’s communications regulator ruled on Monday that the Fox News programs anchored by Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson breached the UK’s impartiality rules in segments that aired earlier this year.

    The regulator, Ofcom, found that the segments did not provide adequate view points even as opinion programs and therefore broke “due impartiality” standards.

    The ruling comes as the British government considers 21st Century Fox’s — the parent company of Fox News — bid to buy British outlet Sky News. Fox has faced significant scrutiny from British regulators after top officials at Fox resigned amid sexual harassment allegations and Fox News faced a lawsuit alleging that the network worked with members of the Trump administration to push a conspiracy theory about a murder DNC staffer.

    In September, Ofcom found that “alleged behaviors” at 21st Century Fox were “concerning,” but said that their findings did not warrant additional review. Ofcom also reviewed programs like “Hannity” and “Tucker Carlson Tonight” due to complaints about the programs, but found that the shows did not have to meet a “due accuracy requirement” since they are not news programs. The British competition watchdog is now reviewing the proposed merger.

    Fox News stopped airing its programs in the UK in August, but Ofcom said Monday that it reviewed outstanding complaints “to ensure there is a complete compliance record and to facilitate public understanding of the Code.”

    The regulator found that Hannity’s January 31 segment on President Donald Trump’s travel ban “didn’t include a sufficiently wide range of views, and any alternative opinions put forward during the discussion were dismissed by the presenter.” Ofcom ruled that “Tucker Carlson Tonight” breached impartiality rules with a May 25 segment on the bombing at a concert in Manchester, England because a “discussion about the UK’s security policies did not include an adequate range of viewpoints.”

    Fox News Axes Dem Mega-Donor’s Impeachment Ad After Trump Tweets

    Tom Steyer wants President Trump to be impeached. Fox News decided to impeach his new ad instead.

    On the same day that Fox News first ran an advertisement funded by Steyer, a Democratic mega-donor, President Donald Trump tweeted about Steyer, calling him “wacky” and “totally unhinged.”

    Just four days later, the outlet stopped playing the advertisement. “Due to the strong negative reaction to their ad by our viewers, we could not in good conscience take their money,” Jack Abernethy, Fox News co-president, said in a statement obtained by TPM on Monday.

    Steyer, through his attorneys, said he was not given an explanation for the cancellation of the advertisement.

    Trump likely saw the ad for the first time when it aired on “Fox and Friends.” The early morning program is known as Trump’s favorite source of news, and Trump tweeted a thank you to “Fox and Friends” for its “really great job and show!” just minutes after the Steyer tweet.

    While Fox claims the audience reaction is what sparked the removal of the advertisement, Steyer’s lawyer sent a letter to Abernethy, claiming Fox News is censoring a private citizen in order to appease the President.

    “It is no coincidence that the cancellation of the advertisement, in the second week of its run, came on the heels of a tweet from President Trump, criticizing the spot and Mr. Steyer personally. The only plausible explanation seems to be that Fox News capitulated to political pressure from the Trump administration itself,” Steyer’s lawyer Brad Deutsch said in a letter to Abernethy on Nov. 3, which was obtained by The Washington Post. “President Trump has threatened retaliation against broadcasters who provide him with negative coverage and Fox News appears to have answered these threats with servility.”

    In the video, Steyer outlines all of Trump’s “dangerous” moves as President thus far, and said that a Republican Congress “once impeached a President for far less.”

    “Yet today people in Congress and his own administration know that this President is a clear and present danger who’s mentally unstable and armed with nuclear weapons, and they do nothing,” he said.

    In the fall of 2010, the Russian billionaire investor Yuri Milner took the stage for a Q. and A. at a technology conference in San Francisco. Mr. Milner, whose holdings have included major stakes in Facebook and Twitter, is known for expounding on everything from the future of social media to the frontiers of space travel. But when someone asked a question that had swirled around his Silicon Valley ascent — Who were his investors? — he did not answer, turning repeatedly to the moderator with a look of incomprehension.
    Now, leaked documents examined by The New York Times offer a partial answer: Behind Mr. Milner’s investments in Facebook and Twitter were hundreds of millions of dollars from the Kremlin.

    Nah, Donna was the one who stopped Hillary from railroading Obama in 2008, and who got Howard Dean to call off the DNC dogs. If she doesn't do that, Obama never is president. So much ? went down behind the scenes back then, most will never know.

    Even though Brazille is complicit in the Clinton / Sanders dealings, she did 2 things:

    - Prevents / handicaps Hillary from running in 2020
    - If she doesn't run, prevents / handicaps Hillary's ability to be the king / queen-maker like Trump was before he became President. Any Republican presidential candidate had to go to Trump Tower in order to bow down and kiss the ring. Any Democratic nominee would welcome her endorsement but would keep her at arms length to avoid having the negative Clinton baggage tied to them and thus scaring off potential voters.
