Lyrics should not be used as a confession, often they are bravado, exaggeration, complete fantasy, but often killers boast about murders in tunes.

Campaigners urge UK ministers to make music lyrics inadmissible in court Art Not Evidence group wants change in law that currently allows lyrics by defendants to be presented as evidence of gang affiliation

I’d be gutted if my son was murdered and the killer boasted about how he did it in a gangster rap video (which happens often), but that couldn’t be used as evidence in court.

Why are kids snorting pink cocaine?

A lot of confusion about this drug in the media and elsewhere. I cleared it up in this piece for @unherd.com

Everyone Gets High Off Drugs It's not just the people taking drugs who are using them.

In the same way Christianity was used in the crusades, to those in power, drugs have become the perfect cover story to commit bad deeds and to persecute.

Drugs are used to get high, to make money, but they are also used by those in power to persecute and strengthen. My new, belated substack..

Surely Europe has some James Bond type who can take out Trump, Vance, Musk without getting caught? Europe, and the world, does not need these pigs.

This bit hits the nail on the head:

β€œThe present Israeli government ruthlessly and cynically exploits the continuing guilt of gentiles over the slaughter of Jews in the holocaust as justification for the murder of Palestinians”

Yet 15 years later Israel was allowed to commit genocide.

UK lawmaker Gerald Kaufman speaks about Israeli attack on Gaza, 15 January 2009
YouTube video by The Electronic Intifada UK lawmaker Gerald Kaufman speaks about Israeli attack on Gaza, 15 January 2009

β€œMy grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza”

If only we still had MPs like Jewish MP Gerald Kaufman to speak sense on Israel.

The endless cow-towing of the UK to Israel is shameful.

His 2009 speech:

This dimwit cop really messed this up. There was enough evidence out there about Maccabi Tel Aviv fans (and the reception they would get in Aston) to advise for a ban, which was the right decision.

Btw, all this crap would have been avoided if UEFA had banned all Israeli teams, like Russian teams
