Part of the great exodus. My area is construction, but nobody really cares about that, so my contributions will mainly consist of wanting to engage & learn from everyone else, and I'll throw in some half informed quip's for good measure

Jordan Bardella, the president of France’s hard right National Rally, has cancelled his plans to speak at CPAC after Steve Bannon “proactively made a gesture referring to Nazi ideology.” In other words, Bannon and CPAC are now too extreme for the French extreme right.

You’d have to say…after clinical examination…most UK right wing commentators have proven themselves to be complete idiots.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I'm so upset that today of all days, I'm catching up on your show rather than listening live. I have a GREAT one for "moments when you realised you were old".

Feels a bit like Jan 6, except this time without the naïve belief that everyone would abandon Trump once his depravity became undeniable.

As the US sits around the table with Lavrov (sanctioned by the Biden) the Russian attacks on civilians in Kyiv haven’t stopped. The Trump administration didn’t even get a cessation in drone attacks in exchange for the PR coup of talks and bringing the regime in from the cold.

China’s top diplomat, Wang Yi, gave an important speech at the Munich Security Conference. In this short excerpt he summarises rather succinctly the root cause of the current international instability. “Might is Right” is the international relations equivalent of the law of the jungle.

Mad. Surely, it creates a non NATO military target of NATO military assets that Putin can test the waters with knowing article 5 isn't a concearn. A rip in the seems of NATO that he will inevitable pull at.

"I don't know who his Russia advisors are, but they ought to know that." Journalist Gabriel Gatehouse says Donald Trump has shown "almost staggering naivety" in trusting Vladimir Putin, predicting that the Russian president "will go back to fighting in six months". #Newsnight

Ultimately it matters not if your constitution is written or unwritten or codified or uncodified… …once those in power do not recognise political or legal rules higher than their own personal or partisan advantage it is constitutional ‘game over’. Constitutions need constitutionalism, most of all.

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
