The "Banter Defence" of every bully that has ever been caught out. Sick of his bullshit.

Oligarchs of a feather...

Six prisoners for Palestine are nearing their *fourth week* on hunger strike.

They are facing two years on remand without trial. They demand bail, a fair trial, an end to counter-terror powers used on protesters and the deproscription of Palestine Action

Robin Hood robbed from the rich to give to the poor, despite an exodus of barons to the Middle East. So obviously it can be done.

Completely agree, the reason these and other "team builders" are encouraged by organisations is to humanize the hierarchy and to make it harder for us to say "No" to them.

Does a resident doctor earn more than an MP? No. Let’s save the desperate morality grasps from politicians then. MPs have had umpteen pay rises since 2010 and they have quietly and relentlessly awarded these to themselves, regardless of what the public is going through.

Interestingly I reckon AI could replace one of those professions overnight and no-one would be any the wiser.

Ur-Fascism Umberto Eco Ur-Fascism June 22, 1995

“There was only one Nazism. We cannot label Franco’s hyper-Catholic Falangism as Nazism, since Nazism is fundamentally pagan, polytheistic, and anti-Christian. But the fascist game can be played in many forms, and the name of the game does not change.” - Umberto Eco

1975 was BEFORE Margaret Thatcher (1979).

The reason Britain is worse is because of her.

Amendment 40 to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill has been voted down.

Had it passed, it would have meant more precious wildlife would have retained existing protections.

Instead, MPs have bought into the false 'nature vs growth' narrative.

Tim Davie was privately educated, went to Cambridge and was a Tory candidate and deputy chair of a local Conservative Party Association. Clear case of left-wing bias. If the left wing rot's gotta stop, then we need to start with private schools, Cambridge and the Tory Party - Michael Rosen

he should be forced to take 80% of his readership with him. They shall not be missed.

Lovely to see that it's now considered cool and good to be a vehement lefty who loves socialism but if you called people like me a stupid naive cunt and dick-rode the reasonable centre between 2016 and 2024 I DO remember because I'm not above petty fuckery. Anyway. Welcome, comrade.

I'd prefer to think he's the vanguard, heralding a time when politicians aren't all managerial centrists or grifting chancers

🔥 Town of Lewes stages BIGGEST message yet — they’ve built and paraded a giant effigy of Nigel Farage with two of his “racist rioters” on leashes at this year’s bonfire night.

A dishonest Labour Party social media advert (aren't they all) captioned 'Labour is delivering on making Britain a clean energy superpower...' with a picture of Zack Polanski, leader of the Green Party, clearly focusing heavily on his teeth, even though plausible deniability will be their defence when called out on this ("His teeth aren't our fault..." might be the line), because his teeth are the attack line de jour following an intervention by Right-wing TV pundit and professional sock-vomit Jeremy Clarkson last week. The advert also says: 'Their councillors block solar farms and clean energy infrastructure. Their leader is against nuclear energy. What's so Green about the Green Party?' The words 'block' & 'against' are highlighted in yellow, the word 'Green' is highlighted in green. All lettering is in shouty capitals. This line of attack shows three things: 1. Labour sees the reinvigorated Green Party, and so Zack Polanski personally, as a huge threat to their electoral chances because it campaigns from the Left; 2. The politics of personal attacks is fine by Starmer (as he has proven time and again, against Diane Abbot and Jeremy Corbyn for example); 3. The Labour Party is composed of lying, disingenuous little shits. My main post outlines just three of the inexcusably anti-environment policies Starmer has forced upon us which will set us back years, not to mention the insistence on a 'growth' economy on a finite planet in the throws of climate collapse. In the case of Heathrow expansion, Starmer overturned at a stroke a hard-fought ban on the 3rd runway which followed decades of campaigning. The advert's central point pushes nuclear energy as a clean option, when it is literally the worst option possible if you can see further than Starmer's endlessly growing nose. Sizewell was leaking toxic material within 15 years. See this thread (entitled 'Nuclear meltdown') for further details: https://bsky.app/profile/shakethescales.bsky.social/post/3lyvggmbdys2j

He ditched the Green New Deal the moment he took power; invented 'grey belt' to build over green; slashed regs & fast-tracked Heathrow's 3rd runway: Keir Starmer is rattled, caught in a pincer movement between Left & Right with no one to blame but 'centrism' itself. He's coming for Zack. Personally.

Peak Onion.
Damn thats a good summary

The numbers stacking up against Farage’s bill

Lab supporters seem upset we haven’t made it clear 63 voted against Farage yesterday. So happy to clarify that. BUT the vast maj of Lab MPs DIDN’T vote inc the frontbench. It wouldn’t have changed the law on EHCR but LibDems, SNP, Plaid, Greens, Alliance etc clearly felt it mattered to defeat Farage

Someone needs to set up a WhatsApp group for all the people who will be having awkward conversations with their relatives about the rise of the Green Party over the Christmas period.

The Day the Nazi Died.

So lets talk about the massive over representation of racist bigotry on mainstream news and current affairs over the last decade...works doesn't it except the advertisers know the money and intellectual agency is with the reasonable section of society, voters in general not so much.

A warning has been issued after fake letters were posted through letterboxes, claiming people would have to house refugees if they flew St George's flag. The letter said that "patriotic" households displaying the country's flag will temporarily house refugees because ‘we know you would be proud to assist your country’.

lol.
