Our Diaspora Institutions' Lockstep Support For A Country That Regularly Commits War Crimes Will Contribute To A Groundswell Of Virulent Antisemitism vs. No It Won’t

Unfortunately I think City will win all their remaining league games, including against us, and even if we do draw against them I think we will drop points somewhere.

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

St Totteringham's Day: Arsenal set to celebrate earlier than ever The day it becomes impossible for Spurs to finish above Arsenal in the Premier League, St Totteringham's Day is set to arrive earlier than ever.

I’m betting that eating a ton of ice cream will strengthen my weight loss agenda.

My experience of the upper echelons of the Labour Party involved being condescended to by the incredibly thick & unpleasant, & thinking that in any other walk of life you would get punched in the mouth for treating people like that. Impossible to overstate how high on their own fumes they are.

Labour: how should we respond to getting beaten by a friendly looking person in bright coloured clothes?

ASKB is incredibly bad

A 2023 tweet: every european election The People’s Democrats (center-right) 31 per cent Soviet Worker’s Party (center/center-left) 22 per cent Citizen’s Forum (fascist) 19% Wow! (Center) 11 per cent Friendship is Magic (left) - nine per cent Green Partt - eight per cent

This remains a good, tongue in cheek guide, though the centre-right is doing worse across the board than it was then, while the Greens are taking the “Friendship is Magic” vote in addition to their traditional core.

Francois Hollande: I had the growth and stability pact constraining me
George Papandreou: I was constrained by the Troika
Olaf Scholz: I was constrained by the FDP
Morgan McSweeney: I was constrained by not wanting to admit that the 2024 election strategy might have had some flaws

A Green win must mean that "left behind" voters forgotten by Westminster want open borders and legalised class A drugs. That's how it works right?

All the fucking “let’s find the nuance” people are very quiet now that the nuance is that they paved the way for violent authoritarianism while people screamed at them they were paving the way for violent authoritarianism and they called that harassment

It really is either you support trans rights or you support Hitler 2.0

vindictive, vicious cruelty designed to humiliate and criminalize every trans person in kansas

horrifying fascist shit reminiscent of the runup to the literal holocaust

Varoufakis is a charlatan with the supreme self confidence that only certain hyper-privileged idiots have, and Tsipras was kind of shallow, out of his depth and the kind of guy wowed by a charlatan like Varoufakis.

And to be clear, I’m not saying that leftists generally don’t have a good grasp of economics or even that Greek leftists that don’t have a good grasp of economics. Just that he was popular with the ones that didn’t and Tsipras was one of them.

The short answer is that he was a blogger popular with Greek leftists that didn’t have a good grasp of economics, and Alexis Tsipras was a Greek leftists that didn’t have a good grasp of economics.

Mandelson’s downfall is one of fastest ever seen in British public life Epstein links have taken political operator from a vaunted position in British diplomacy to arrest in under six months

Terrifying in its rapidity - it's taken just 27 years, 2 months and 3 days since scandal first broke.

these people’s brains are fully cooked

The countries that sucked up to Trump the most are the ones that come off worst.

Update: Zohran is very happy right now.

Jesus Christ Matt, you can have right-wing views without putting a swastika on your door.

Labour Party factionalism is "what if every thing imagined about the Democratic Party was true but also 10x worse since everyone involved is engaged in deeply stupid factionalism"

This. The OP is absolutely correct in principle, but this is not what’s actually going on here. This is tribal party political bullshit.

The thing that’s fucking hilarious here is that on the one hand, yes, this is absolutely correct, but on the other, what we’re actually dealing with in this particular instance is just the fact that most tribal Labour Party members are just twats.

I'm going to say it now: 40 year old millennials, you look 40. Younger people can see that you are around 40. And that's okay.

Violent and non-violent death tolls for the Gaza conflict: new primary evidence from a population-representative field survey This first independent population survey of mortality in the Gaza Strip shows that violent deaths have substantially exceeded official figures whereas the demographic composition of casualties aligns ...

News agencies often only cite Gaza’s health ministry when stating the number of deaths, and these numbers are then refuted by those who don’t trust the ministry because it’s run by Hamas. Now news agencies can cite the Lancet - I hope they do. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
