And some good news for today:

"The ICC has issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas leader Al-Masri."

RIP John Prescott

In a career overshadowed somewhat by his impulsive punch of a bystander heckling him, Prescott represented the possibility that non-professionals could rise to the top of politics....

While its still possible (Anglea Rayner for instance), the wave of non-professional politicians being in Government has certainly reduced over recent decades.

Like him or loathe him Prescott represented something valuable for the British polity - class inclusivity!

Fuck #Biden and anyone supporting him.


This POS have the ability to end the ongoing genocide.

But he is chosing not to.

And his freaking supporters still pretending he is better than Trump.

I really wish #Trump fucks up #US like they have done to the world.

You deserve it (sorry for the minority who is going to pay the ultimate price of it, but it's the price you pay for being part of this disgusting system for so long without doing anything to change it).

There are more sexual predators in the US Congress and Senate than there are in the entirety of the trans people population. Give those creeps their own goddamn bathrooms. I don't want to use a toilet after a Republican, I might catch a venereal disease.

It's amazing how quickly MSM started writing pro-Trump articles. Bunch of cowards.

historically for a political idea to become strong someone has to be willing to die for it. war is a struggle for resources. When the powerful hoard resources, people have nothing left to lose, so they have nothing to lose #politics #power #change #history #nativeamerican #israel #hamas #russia #ukranian


Once again Labour are being accused of mounting a class war (this time against farmers).... what is notable is that for the three terms in which the Tories actually did prosecute a class war, these same commentators blithely ignored that element of policy.... ever was it thus!

Mike Johnson Calls Extra Press Conference Just To Make Anti-Trans Statement

House Republicans put forth a bill to make congresswoman use a male bathroom even though she has completely transitioned to female.

Imagine if CodePink had more than just a few hundred activists.


The only true antiwar group in the US who wasn't a front for DNC or other groups like MoveOn .

They are hated by both republicans and democrats who are more loyal to Israel than their own country.

#Gaza #Israel #Labour #GenocideDenial #Politics
THE Labour UK Government is going beyond genocide denial and attempting to revise its definition in its refusal to accept Israel is committing such an act in Gaza, a Middle East expert has said.
Earlier this week, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he does not believe a genocide is being committed in the region despite being “well aware” of its definition.
In response to a question from MP Ayoub Khan in the Commons about atrocities being committed in Gaza, Starmer said: “I'm well aware of the definition of genocide, and that is why I've never described this as and referred to it as genocide.”
Richard McNeil-Willson, who lectures in the Islamic and Middle Eastern studies department at Edinburgh University, said Starmer’s position on Gaza is becoming “politically untenable” after a UN special committee report said the policies and practices carried out by Israel are “consistent with the characteristics of genocide”. 
Foreign Secretary David Lammy last month claimed that the term genocide referred to “when millions of people lost their lives in crises like Rwanda, the Second World War in the Holocaust” and that using it to describe Gaza “now undermines [its] seriousness”.
McNeill-Wilson (below) said Labour are engaging in an “incredibly dangerous” approach in not only denying genocide but attempting to “redefine the nature of what genocide is”.
“This is incredibly dangerous in that not only is it a denial of genocide but it’s an attempt to rewrite what genocide is, where the British government is now potentially making the case that instances that have been clearly documented as genocide now no longer count as genocide under this, simply as a means of protecting Israel and their position on Israel.”
READ MORE: UN committee likens Israeli practices and policies in Gaza to genocide
Under Article II of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, genocide means committing acts with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.
These acts include killing members of a group, causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group, deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction, imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group or forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
McNeil-Willson said many of these acts have been conducted by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and, while Labour’s stance on Gaza has always been morally untenable in his view, it was now becoming politically untenable too.


While farmers are angry at the Govt. for changing inheritance tax arrangements for farm land (whose impact is the subject to, shall we say, some disagreement).... farmers should really be angry at:

those who convinced them Brexit was a good idea;

Non-farming investors driving up land prices to store value (hello Mr Dyson);

and the supermarket oligopoly driving farm gate prices down.

Once again they're being used as sock puppets by those with a different agenda....

"Trump confirms plan to declare national emergency, use military for mass deportations"

So, declaring martial law it is, then.

Scientific American Loses Its Bold Leader

"Trump spews insults and wins the election. Helmuth loses her job. Critics of cancel culture cheered Helmuth’s cancellation."

Excellent analysis on politics, journalism, and science in the wake of SciAm editor Laura Helmuth stepping down.

Ugh. Just joined a #LongCovid #discord server and one of its rules was: “No #politics ”. wtf??? Long Covid is a HUGELY political issue. Sweet Jesus I hope there are better communities out there for the likes of us long haulers.


I'm still trying to come to grips with three things.

1) My favourite hobby, watching the news, is now borderline pointless.

2) I only have a few national/international news outlets I can trust going forward, and most people on this continent won't get their news from any of them.

3) North America will probably never have a news outlet that delivers facts, with context & objective analysis, that is trusted by a plurality again in my lifetime.

#journalism #politics #democracy


Almost two weeks ago, Americans took to the polls, racking up 76,429,164 votes for #Trump while #Harris received 73,736,923 (according to Wikipedia today).

Since there are about 245,000,000 eligible voters, that makes it about 94,833,913 voters did not vote - the majority of the voting population.

Running those numbers:
Trump - 31.2%
Harris - 30.1%

That makes it 38.7% of the voting population did not vote. That's more than either candidate was able to attain.

Which begs the question - how many more people would have made the effort and how would the election have turned out, if there was one more option:

NONE OF THE ABOVE [ ]
