Thanks. Poignant & pinned.
I often listen to his recordings and am moved by them. We are privileged to have been of his time.

Of our time

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Zack Polanski, "Palantir.. £240 million contract last month"

"That was lobbied by Global Counsel which is Peter Mandelson's lobbying group"

"The idea that a defence company from the US has its fingerprints all over our healthcare system, alongside Peter Mandelson"

There's a one hour special on Nigel Farage and Reform UK, and whether they are ready to lead, on BBC2

Presumably, there will be a similar one hour special on Zack Polanski, and whether The Greens are ready to lead, as well?

Shouldn’t be too long now before a ban on foreign papers.

Pretty important

I loved my dad but fuck me am I glad he isn’t here to witness this useless shower of absolute shite that masquerades as politicians these past couple decades. No common sense or intellect. Never mind an actual plan.

If this had been the Tories, there would have been no news.

If your the boss, nobody because it’s your job.

Farage knows that hate will never triumph over hope.
Green party for the win

A red hat, inspired by a symbol of resistance to Nazi occupation, gains traction in Minnesota A Minneapolis knitting shop has resurrected the design of a Norwegian cap worn to protest Nazi occupation. Its owner says the money raised from hat pattern sales will support the local immigrant commu...

"As a history buff, Neary chose the pattern based on a Norwegian hat used to protest the Nazi occupation of Norway in the 1940s.
"I brought this hat back for a reason," Neary said.
To him, they symbolize resistance as they did in the 1940s.

Decades. It’s taken decades of deliberate under education and managed decline of civic amenities & wellbeing,to put us in a classic pre fascist environment. Now revelations of rogue government involvement are far too nuanced for anyone to understand, much less regard as an electoral decider.

They are bleeding all other businesses dry too.

Well 20 would do early doors Friday and Sunday lunchtime

If Labour could govern, we’d be approaching the final reading of the PR act around about now but as with all political parties they have no interest in what the electorate say. However, that’s ok because the drinks are cheap and you can definitely get a seat on a board or two, once you’ve failed.

You’re way under with 20 a week.

The law is for the money. The legislature is for the money. One man’s rule is another man’s guideline. The local thug took it and in order to keep it, decreed that other people who wanted it should die. Bit like now really.

When he was appointed ambassador, I effing screamed out loud, at an inanimate object. How come everyone else knew he wasn’t right, except the people we pay to know.

Keep saying it but that’s what private members clubs are for ffs. Collude, contrive, control.

Sup?

From the members bar

It’s a private members club. It’s like Bertie Wooster is running the country with no Jeeves advising and has been since the expenses scandal. Now we find out, whilst SME’s were losing everything, that the great and the good were sharing little confidences.

Well: The files are not released because he said so. USA is a willing dictatorship. Gaza is a genocide. Ukraine would win if supported. Brexit was factually disastrous. The Tory’s left the Uk beyond repair for the even more inept to finish off.There’s no denying climate catastrophe. Yeah. With you.

Has ZP been giving it the mansplain too? Haven’t seen it. I know Swiss Tony likes a good “listen love”.

No. You’ve pointed that out before but if he looks like being successful, there will be a clamour for him to stand. If he doesn’t, I’ll waste my vote on Ed but I can not vote or advocate for racism.

Also, deliberately condescending, and or ignorant of, female company which I’ve seen before. If it was a relationship, it would be abusive. It’s almost like he’s the leader of the free world and his own conscience won’t let him enjoy it.

Are you smarter than Mike Johnson? All signs point to yes.

Nobody votes for the libdems. 🤷‍♂️ Hadn’t realised the Greens were already doing a bit in Scotland. As experience in most areas is my key concern, that’s encouraging. I know it’s terrifying but the duopoly has the country robbed blind and on its knees. Ill take the tree huggers over racism.
