I had conversations this week with apparently civilised intelligent people who blame the girls Epstein trafficked for their abuse. Where does this stuff come from?

Petition: Call a public inquiry into pro-Israel influence on politics & democracy We are concerned about reported Israeli state-linked and pro-Israel lobbying activity in UK politics. We believe it is important to determine the scope and impact of any such influence campaigns.

Two graphics show the plan. Could not be any clearer.
1. Ice occupation of democratic strongholds.

2. Concentration camp sites in preparation.

Stop incessant polling and implement the programme. Labour does not have time to do a leadership process. Better to insist the leader leads.

Labour needs to get on with its agenda on the assumption that three more years may be all it
gets.

And Labour should also bring back the women that McSweeney got sacked.

This is, and I will be blunt here, enormously more important a political story than what some twerp of a Labour backbench MP may be whispering.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.

But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

ICE actions are the policy of a Republican administration supported by a Republican dominated Congress. Call it that.
