The reason many in the US / EU look down on Palestinians or try excuse Israeli crimes by blaming Hamas is not because they oppose terrorism but because they want to erase their own complicity in the genocide. If the victims are “responsible for empowering Hamas” then what are you responsible for?

Pre-Brexit, I described to an elderly lady/supporter from Cornwall how much I love the UK & truly felt at home there, expecting her to be pleased about the praise. Instead, she said (somewhat coolly) that she's no problem with that provided I leave when told to. I though of that when I read this.

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone to hear that Nigel Farage’s Reform UK ‘manifesto’ has been branded “unserious” and “unhinged” leftfootforward.org/2025/05/nige...

"Perseverance has its limits. The erosion of these institutions’ integrity—and the growing realization that it is impossible of fulfill their missions in good faith—has made the cost of continuing untenable. This is why I must step away from my work with 2 federal institutions I care deeply about."

Yep, that's me sitting outside at the front of our home, catching some sun, while going through the last proofreading for my book Feral Class :-)

The Economist estimates that the annual costs of Reform UK’s manifesto would be around £200bn and savings around £100bn. The gap would amount to a colossal fiscal shock, blowing up the deficit and straining the gilt market to its limit www.economist.com/britain/2025...

Incredibly depressing day. I've spent my entire life being told by British governments how dreadful immigration is. New Labour did it. The Coalition. The Brexiters. Now Starmer. All of them accusing the ones who came before them of failing to clamp down. The same old vacant mean-spirited bollocks.
