Dark forces are preventing us fighting the climate crisis – by taking knowledge hostage | George Monbiot The fundamental problem is this: that most of the means of communication are owned or influenced by the very rich, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.
This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis.

Outrage this morning about the police CORRECTLY banning Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from coming to the UK due to the likelihood of violence.

#GMB are going hard on how this is antisemitic "especially after events in Amsterdam".

This is a completely misleading.

The police decision is correct.

I used to drink in the same pub as her her in Shrewsbury back in the 80's. We all thought she was a bit of a trivial cnut back then too...

Some quotes from New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon:

β€’ β€œThe world doesn’t owe you a living”
β€’ β€œI'm wealthy, I'm β€’ you know β€’ sorted.”
β€’ β€œjust make a marmite sandwich”
β€’ β€œI don’t care.” (said multiple times since becoming PM)

The speed at which an apparently stable democracy has descended into open fascism coupled with the apparent disinterest of most or even open support of many is astounding.

Its leaving me feeling quite queasy..

Concerns are being raised about privatisation after Health Minister Simeon Brown met representatives of a controversial multinational company that runs prisons and hospitals.

β€œThe Minister must immediately & fully disclose the nature, purpose, & content of his discussions with Serco.”

I know it sounds clichè but I could literally fix anything on the Bullet with what I carried in my pockets. Not sure that would work with a leccy bike but I'd like to see more electrics on the road for sure.

Apparently, it’s socially unacceptable to compare anyone or anything to Hitler.
Mention Hitler, and you’ll be shouted down with a chorus of β€œGodwin’s Law”.
Well sod that.
Until we start comparing Trump to Hitler, we’re unprepared for what is barrelling towards us. 🧡1/4

You might enjoy Blindboys explanation of Charlie Kirk's place in all this too. Second half of this pod but listen to it all if you have the time.

The Prime Minister is hoping that a state visit from a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein will dial down the furore surrounding the Prime Minister’s decision to promote a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s probably the best chance he’s got.
