Mopping around like a lost tear in an ocean of wretchedness.

Legislators for hire. Tory peer proposed delay on heated tobacco ban after Philip Morris visit. Only if poverty, squalor, injustice was attacked with the same vigour. Can't get good society without eradicating political corruption.

Let me be clearer. I was former head of UK Foreign Office humanitarian affairs, incl policy on war crimes, genocide. I helped craft policy for international criminal court. I’m in no doubt these are war crimes. Disproportionate, indiscriminate, collective punishment by an occupying power.

Heavily armed paramilitary forces stormed a local San Diego restaurant today, deployed stun grenades against a crowd of onlookers, and kidnapped a handful of kitchen workers.

The far right will, of course, treat the Paul Doyle case very differently from one where the accused is darker-skinned or foreign or both. The rest of us must not. That’s kind of the point.

Robert Jenrick "I met pensioners who had illegal migrants in their bedrooms when they woke up in the morning." A real quote from someone who was almost leader of the Conservative Party.

My take on today's US court tariff ruling. This is an excellent opportunity for the EU and other trading partners to quit preparing packages of concessions, tell Trump to shove it and get on with trading without the US. First 300 clicks free. It being 3.42am here in London, I am now going to bed.

First he thought he might be Pope... now he thinks he's one of The Blues Brothers!!! 😱😱😱

Desire to achieve a kind of impartiality means that unless you know what is going on already you'd have almost no idea what is really going on from this story. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

When the truth comes out Gaza will be as infamous as Auschwitz and if things don't change the death toll will be even higher.

From todays BBC 'Prosecutors in the UK have confirmed for the first time they have authorised 21 charges against Andrew and Tristan Tate, including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking.' 'Is it time for parliament to question Nigel Farage over his relationship with Tate?'

Russian armed forces have been β€œsystematically” committing crimes against humanity by hunting civilians using remote-controlled drones, the UN’s Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine said.

If I had to write β€˜How They Broke Britain’ all over again, Nick Clegg would get at least a chapter. An agent of immeasurable harm.

People on here are sharing anecdotes about Cilla Black suggesting she wasn’t a very nice person. For balance, I think it’s only fair to say I thought her singing was rubbish too.

Thames Water hit with record Β£123m fine. Beware of the OFWAT spin. Β£104.5m fine for sewage dumping was announced on 6 Aug 2024. Β£18.2m fine for breach of dividend rules was announced on 19 Dec 2024. Companies allowed to negotiate fines. Can't end abuses without ending the profit motive

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services. Now the UK owns nothing and has Β£3tn of debt. While Norway still owns everything and has the equivilant of Β£10tn. That's how privatisation 'works'.

Her stats line up with CDC data…

All the people complaining that the police have said the Liverpool driver was white British are the same people who made it necessary for the police to say he was white British.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ Zelensky: I congratulate the people of Georgia on Independence Day. Our state supported the sovereignty and defense of Georgia during Russian invasion in 2008. And we will always be together in our common aspiration for a free and dignified life. Long live independent Georgia! Glory to Ukraine!

Then it should die.

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her. RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

Remember when Nigel Farage said Brexit would make everything better. Now he says HE will make everything better. If you are not stupid you will get it.
