I wonder if a bunch of these people sit around, bouncing ideas off each other, coming up with as many ways as possible to make life miserable for these unfortunates.

If it's mean, if it's nasty - don't hold back! And check the history books, some brutal regime might have had some good ideas.

⭕Les médias #Israéliens et leurs relais internationaux ont tenté de faire circuler un récit simple : des #Palestiniens auraient été “refusés” par #l’Afrique_du_Sud.

Reminds me of a parody newspaper headline by Michael Moore, at least 25 years ago.

"Everybody fired.

I don't understand why?

Apart from crooks peddling quack 'alternatives' to vaccines, why are so many people so keen to believe this nonsense?

So many trust science generally - use its products, fly on planes etc. - but suddenly the science of vaccines and climate studies is all lies and BS. Why?

⭕ #Yasser_AbuçShabab, leader d'une milice collaborant avec #Israël, accède à une promotion majeure en prenant le contrôle total de #Rafah. Par conséquent, tous les camions d'aide et les fonds pour la reconstruction devront transiter par lui.

What about drinking (alcohol)? If that's done outside the 6-hour window, does this spoil the fasting state?

How about drinking tea/coffee - can that also only be done inside the 6-hour window?

Republicans and their media stooges have vacillanted between saying Churches can pick up the slack, and the recipients of SNAP are undeserving moochers.

We know most - 2/3rds - are children, and over half of the rest worked the month they received it.

Now we also know that Chruches don't care.

I really meant labour voters, not the Blairite scum currently running the show.

Still, it gives anyone who doesn't like Newer Labour a chance to shout at someone who they suspected of being a supporter.

Besides, if I removed the post, nobody would know I'd seen the error of my ways 😃

Yup, @blackstar1976.bsky.social picked me up on that, too. I was thinking of the Labour of old. Tony Benn, Corbyn, and so on. It had some decent socialists back in the day, and they attracted membership to Labour by the millions.

Personally, I couldn't hate Starmer and his lot more if I tried.

Fair point. Old Labour, not this "Even Newer Labour" of Starmer and his handlers. "New" apparently means neo-con in today's cynical lexicon of the corporate-speak billionaire boot-licking political classes.

Article by Anthony Barnett in @bylinetimes.bsky.social the recently, on how thoroughly crap the left is at seeing one another as allies, if they don't completely agree on everything.

The Tories and Reform will be sure to form a pact, to keep the left out.

Labour/ Greens/ LDs /YP? Not a chance.

I certainly agree. Blair actively sabotaged efforts to prove SH had no WMD, and I don't believe for a moment he acted in good faith.

Separately, so do Starmer, Sunak and all those cheerfully supporting genocide in Gaza, materially so, while persecuting and smearing those who protest it.

Utterly criminal though his actions were, Blair - the war criminal - has some plausible deniability in saying he believed that SH had WMD and had to be stopped.

Aiding and abetting a thoroughly documented genocide, live-streamed, for more than two years is in a different category altogether, IMHO.
