The Liberal Abandonment Of Greta Thunberg The Swedish activist Greta Thunberg has been detained by Israel and reportedly maltreated by her Israeli captors after she was kidnapped, along with hundreds of other activists, from Gaza’s territoria...

Going from liberal hero to liberal pariah! Greta Thunberg has transgressed against the only values the liberal class understands: imperial values. For this they abandoned her www.donotpanic.news/p/the-libera...

It’s known as:

THE SLOW VIOLENCE OF THE STATE

It allows the state to “shorten the lives” of people, just as long as they are poor.

Yes, well spotted; that is a euphemism for MURDER.

STOP THE WAR ON THE POOR.

Very strong 70’s Eurovision vibes.

REALLY love this.

The continuation of GENOCIDE and APARTHEID is not inevitable. We can all take meaningful action, however small it may feel, to help.

I can't stop this terrible crime, but WE can stop this.

How Western Media Whitewashed Israel’s Mass-Abduction of Activists Over 450 members of the aid flotilla to Gaza are now being held by Israel in an “anti-terror” prison in the Negev desert

Why is the UK Government failing in its legal duty to protect its own citizens from the illegal actions of the IDF?

This is a great response from Zack Polanski, again showing how to lead with courage and honesty.

The abolition of rent controls has allowed the rich to massively abuse private renters and also the public purse, through the Housing Benefit scheme.

PRIVATE LANDLORDS ARE THE REAL SCROUNGERS

Almost everything that he has done since then has pandered to those driving those riots, while cracking down on the types of genuine civil activism associated with the soft left

The interesting question is whether he'll be replaced by the Burnham left or the careerist political vacuum of Streeting

If that is true, then he must be overcome by self-loathing. The alternative is that he is just a political chancer, who has never had any solid personal political principles.

World must deny Israel ‘tools of genocide’, says growing alliance of activist states New York meeting of Hague Group warns of shared responsibility to prevent genocide and proposes steps to isolate Israel

The tide is turning, slowly but surely. Israel is an Ethno-nationalist Zionist state, built upon a principle of Apartheid and committed to the Genocide of the Palestinian people.

Tom Johnson · Supereffable: Mysteries of the Pearl Manuscript Any book made by hand is unique, but the Pearl Manuscript’s claim to uniqueness is unparalleled: the manuscript...

A beautiful article.

My own interest is in the subject of Sir Gawain, the flawed character of the hero and the acceptance of that flaw by the others around that Round Table.

I also live on Wirral, close to the Hall of the Green Knight.

The 1968 Franco Zeffirelli version of Romeo and Juliet, was and still is the best ever version of the play.

Approximately 65,000 verified signatures so far.

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before.

Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

This is a series of jokes in a cartoon with a very serious point.

When the actions of a small group of super rich people threaten the lives of the whole population of the Earth, are we not allowed to defend ourselves?

What is to be done?

THE BILLIONAIRES HAVE GOT TO GO, BEFORE THEY KILL US ALL.

A figure showing the over platforming of reform

A whole host of blatant puff pieces tonight on broadcast media for REFORM. Have we become a one party state? Keep signing the petition and passing it on, we need new rules to ensure plurality and fair coverage. 14k signatures are rising. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Looks like the price of an anti-trust decision in the US.

COLLABORATING WITH A GENOCIDE

What a pity that we have a Government led by rich politicians, in the service of the super rich and their tame mainstream media.

In my household, we call him "That Traitor Farage!"

Admittedly, I live alone, but...

‘It’s been quite a ride!’ Melvyn Bragg to step down from Radio 4’s In Our Time after 27 years The broadcaster is leaving the hit BBC programme after presenting more than 1,000 episodes and having ‘enriched the lives of millions’

This is sad news and definitely feels like the end of an era.

My personal favourite radio / podcast show.

English councils pay private landlords millions in incentives to house homeless families Exclusive: Data gathered by Generation Rent shows 37 councils spent £31m in 2024-25 in one-off payments to individual landlords

Older activists among us may remember the Fair Rent Act, when maximum rents were set by Local Authorities and landlords could not rig the housing rental market, to loot the Housing Benefits system.

Real patriotism is wanting your country to be better.

Real patriotism is wanting every single person who lives in it to have a stake in its success.

Real patriotism is wanting the best for everyone in it. To have the best healthcare, education and life chances.

I don’t need a flag outside my door

Reform UK councillor suspended from job at Home Office processing asylum claims It is understood an investigation will look at whether Paul Bean of Durham council breached civil service code

I imagine a lot of us have been wondering how many people like this shitbag are working for the Home Office. The regular performative cruelties suggest that there are more than just a few.

Off the scale, repugnant greed at its worst 👇

This is a perfect example of THE SLOW VIOLENCE OF THE STATE. Dogma driven policy implemented despite the certainty that it will lead to the deaths, or damaged lives of the citizens, primarily the working class and poor.

Seeing some politicians competing for just how brutal and dehumanising they can be to vulnerable minorities - I can’t help comparing that to 16th and 17th witch trials. It’s so depressing.

If they have any free time, I believe that a child has lost a red balloon and is rather distressed, several cats have been reported to be in trees and a number of garden gates have been seen to be open.

How much is this costing you people?
