The collapse of the "transatlantic pact" really would be transformational

I feel this is replicated in the UK. Bored people with no real problems fuming at stories in the Mail and Telegraph. Setting up campaigns against wind farms. It’s a well known fact that many of the people furious about immigration live in areas with the fewest immigrants

"The suburbs dream of violence. Asleep in their drowsy villas, sheltered by benevolent shopping malls, they wait patiently for the nightmares that will wake them into a more passionate world." –J.G. Ballard, Kingdom Come

The Ibrox St Francis p45er's

It’s grotesque anti-working class prejudice to assume working class people are racist. The focus group of the dinner party is always wildly inaccurate. Has anyone told him that ‘white flight’ is a well evidenced middle-class thing and he is pandering to prejudice.

There are like a hundred thousand people, running charities, labour organisations, community groups, and so on, who by force of will hold the most tattered parts of this country together, and every single one is infinitely more deserving of a profile in the guardian than this asinine rat-faced wank

And then you remember there is still good in the world

It's just a coincidence, right?

ROME (AP) — Vatican says Pope Francis in critical condition, suffered a long asthmatic respiratory crisis in the morning.

If you’re in Glasgow today and can, please get down to George square for the national Palestinian protest heading to the Labour conference. Leaves at 1

Since putting up this crowdfunding page, the Daily Mail has sent us, through their lawyers (RPC), two defamation threats. A few points about them. 🧵 goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

I find this very moving: a 10-year-old Ukrainian boy who moved to the West of Ireland 2 years ago as a refugee, speaking in Irish of his love of playing Irish music

First day of the year out with the hares. Sweeeeet👌🐇

It's estimated that $150 billion would eradicate world hunger by 2030

If you're trying to figure out what to do right now, my advice is to just pick a thing that you think might be useful in some way, however small, and do it. Doing a thing leads you to doing another, bigger thing, and prepares you for that next thing.

Watching once upon a time in Hollywood and fast forwarding all the Margot Robbie bits👌

I keep getting fuckwits reskeeting that rancid rat Richard Branson. What the actual fuck is wrong with these people? 🤔

Literally "FFS cheer up" turned into a policy😂

At this point, far more than in the great Thatcher sell-off rip-off, you can literally see money pouring out of ordinary people's homes into the vaults of oligarchs, like a fantastic rushing spate of virtual gold. The Great Looting is underway. The Visigoths were mild mannered by comparison. Stupid.

This is Zero. She's the world's first herding dog with a work-from-home gig. 14/10

The last time the Left tried to work with centrists, the centrists sabotaged two elections, ensured a right-wing crash-out Brexit, and fought a merciless war to evict the Left from the Party they shared. We're done working with people who loudly disdain us. You had your chance, you shat the bed.

Sign from employees at a Tesla dealership “we hate him too” 💀

People often assume the emotions associated with cruelty are hatred and anger, but it’s actually pleasure and joy. Fascists relish their cruelty. They roll it around on their tongue like a mouthful of full-bodied wine. They laugh as they harm.

Cool cool cool cool 😬

🚨 NEW: Labour is shutting down Safeline, the only dedicated helpline for male survivors of sexual abuse. Safeline is solely funded by government to the tune of £250,000 a year. Labour is cancelling all of that funding, thus forcing it to close. (Source: Channel 4 News)
