Davos is always brilliant, the richest people in the world fly in to hear talks with titles like "Do Poor People Need ALL Their Organs?" or "Private Jets can Save the Planet" & then go off to eat a Michelin star lunch and never consider for a second whether what's wrong with the world might be them.
War criminal Blair accepts a role in overseeing the next stage in the Final Solution.
Long John Silver says you couldn't make it up.

Patrice Lumumba, first prime minister of the former Belgian Congo, being taken away to be murdered. Your reminder of how little Western imperialist powers respect human rights when subject states presume to control their own resources to benefit their own people, instead of global corporations.
Germany is seeking to extradite a Ukrainian diver suspected of blowing up of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. We were all told it was done by the Russians themselves, to plunge Europe into winter cold and darkness.
And now, silence from news organisations that spread that lie.
Why isn't RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus, tasked with protecting the Sumud peace flotilla that is bringing food to starved people in Gaza? Is it because Starmer is a contemptible bought and paid for stooge of genocidal Isræl?
There can be no basing of EU, i.e. US-stooge, troops in Ukraine. Russia invaded Ukraine precisely to stop the build-up of hostile forces on its eastern borders. The servile UK media are pretending to be surprised by this predictable Russian reaction.

In the 1962 Cuban missile crisis the USA threatened Russia with annihilation unless missiles were removed from Cuba. Khruschev removed his missiles, and Kennedy removed the threat to Russia of US missiles in Turkey. The West needs to learn to keep its promises and to remember lessons of history.
The USA would never accept Mexico or Canada joining a military alliance with Russia or China.
The Ukrainian conflict goes back to a broken promise made to Gorbachev that NATO would not expand eastward. Its 2008 invitation to Ukraine to join the alliance was a cause of the current conflict. NATO at Russia’s borders means a significant security risk that no sovereign state would accept.
If the Starmer regime pushes through legislation to sell off allotments, let's all press for re-wilding the country's golf courses, and let rabbits make use of all those holes.

It's a matter of public record that the total value of donations from pro-Israel groups, individuals, and Israeli state institutions to Yvette Cooper amounts to £215,000.
I'm nominating the campaigning group *Yvette Cooper* for a Nobel peace prize, as the other one doesn't need it after getting all that money thrown at her by wealthy Zionists acting for the terminally disredited settler-colonialist state of Isræl.
that protest is terrorism and having the police scuttle round to arrest an 83-year-old retired priest for holding up a poster opposing genocide.
I’ll tell you what happens when you join Labour Friends of Israel. You start accepting Zionist money, you send arms to a genocidal state, and you end in the grotesque chaos of a Labour government – a Labour government – pretending
Apparently the Gaza doctors tv film shown by Channel 4 included "balancing" references to the October 7 counter-attack. What next, a film about Auschwitz with "balancing" material on the killing of the Nazis Horst Wessel and Reinhard Heydrich?
“Death to the IDF” is a rhetorical expression, not a literal call for homicide. Like “smash the system”, the target is institutional. Saying "Eat the rich" is not to promote cannibalism. And “Death to the IDF” equates with "Let the IDF as an institution cease to exist.”
Pity the people whose leader is a brain-dead US stooge and enabler of genocidal Israel, and whose media system silences the dissenting majority.
Maybe I had a memory lapse, but I don't recall any party stating before the last election that it was prepared to send the RAF to defend a foreign state which was deliberately starving hundreds of thousands of people.
Starmer's project was to bin egalitarian Corbynite policies, purge Labour of socialists, & safeguard the interests of the wealthy & powerful. It succeeded, so Starmer's faction don't care if the Labour vote collapses & ushers in a nutty Reform govt. Elite interests win anyway.
Starmer's real project was to trash egalitarian Corbynite policies, purge the Labour party of socialists, & safeguard the interests of the wealthy & powerful. It succeeded, so Starmer's faction don't care now if the Labour vote collapses & ushers in an ultra-right govt. Elite interests win anyway.
No-one can give you a good answer to this question:
Why is it legal to declare your support for genocidal Israel, but not for Hamas?
Odd thing how the Graun finds space for protests against Trump in the US, but ignores most protests here in London against genocide by Israel.
And accordingly, although he follows a banner, the one he follows is almost blank, being merely pockmarked by the erasure of the last vestiges of values he has refused to endorse: compassion, empathy, honesty, loyalty, solidarity, equality, justice and peace.
