The interview where Maureen talked about how “They ripped Rhodesia from us” was in 2016, and that was before she was presented as a principled socialist terrified of racism, rather than as someone with the considerably more deranged and very extreme politics she actually has.

What we should do is throw long-standing copyright law that underpins the socially valuable and fiscally over-performing cultural industries on a bonfire, in unflinching service of companies exactly like this one.

The Palestinian ambassador to the UN broke down as he talked about the number of Palestinian children murdered since March. And while he was talking about dead Palestinian children the camera panned to the Israeli ambassador, who was yawning.

Too many were too impressed by David Lammy's recent statement on Gaza and the accompanying (feeble) measures against Israel. Lammy & Starmer's priority isn't stopping the genocide. It's limiting the domestic political fallout resulting from their complicity.

At the UN security council the Algerian ambassador brings up the killing Palestinian Dr Alaa al-Najjar's 9 children. He names each of them As he says "The eldest was 12yrs old. The youngest was 6mths old" the camera pans to the Israeli ambassador, who is playing with his phone.

Just been blocked by that Dave Andress guy for pointing out that the blame for the Western commentariat's complicity in Israel's genocide does not, in fact, lie with Benjamin Netanyahu 🤷‍♂️
