Also... please don't come the raw Corbyn with me.
Because while failing singularly as an actual politician, he managed, in his own clever way, to give many Labour voters (although by no means a majority) permission to vote themselves out of the EU.
And that is masochism I will not ever forget.

Should it ever manage to find its roots again, as a party of workers (the name is a dead giveaway), I will gladly rejoin it despite all its neurotic faults.
Because historically there has been no other party in the UK that has represented workers as passionately. No other party has lifted so many out of poverty by their policies.
As to them being both anti-semitic and pro-zionist at the same time? There is no other party that doesn't suffer from the same disease - racism is incoherence.

What Labour doesn't understand - because it is quite broadly representative of UK society as a whole - is that outlawing Palestinian Action in response to accusations of anti-semitism is, in itself, anti-semitic. Since it shows an inability to distinguish between legitimate protest against genocidal Israeli policy and anti-semitism. It is still conflating Jews with Israelis. As does most of UK society.
This is not why I left the Labour party. I left it because it stopped being left-wing. 4/

Not surprising. I am constantly coming across people who conflate Jews and Israelis.
The fantasy that Labour could be entirely free of the disease of racism is ridiculous. But the expectation that it should be, when other UK parties are rife with it - is to refuse to understand that racism is a disease that no organisation is immune to.
The monumental stupidity of outlawing Palestine Action is self-harming to Labour. But it's a knee jerk reaction to historic accusations of anti-semitism. 3/

2026-07-30 07:32:43 GMT

That lead, laughably, to the accusation that the entire Labour Party was anti-semitic. Especially laughable because it was an accusation levelled by the Conservative Party which hosts rampant racism of all kinds and has done forever.
Labour's over-response to this accusation was emblematic of a lot of things, including its puzzling insecurity with its own legitimacy. But it was also revealing that it also couldn't seem to distinguish between opposition to Israeli policy and anti-semitism. 2/

If you love interacting with AI chatbots because it feels easier than interacting with another human, I want to try to prompt you to think about why that is.
All discourse is two-way. With another human, we are constantly getting - no matter how much affinity we feel - a little bit of push back. That sense of pressure conditions our own evaluative thinking. It forms and nurtures an independent mind.
That even slight discomfort you feel when meeting another human mind forms you. 1/

I have read a lot of 'inside takes' on why Trump decided to start another war with Iran.
My personal take is that he wanted to raise the oil prices for his buddy Putin.

I was a fully paid up member of the Labour party for over 30 years. While perhaps a little more politically motivated than some, I suspect I am fairly representative of a lot of Labour voters:
I could no longer be a member of a party that was jailing people for protesting a genocide.
I could no longer be a member of a party actively making working people's lives more miserable.
I could no longer belong to a party that demonised immigrants.
I cannot in good conscience vote Labour now.

But don’t forget that without the permission and organisational structures, the culture that hired him, trained him, and encouraged rampant dehumanisation the event would have never occurred.

No one has ever demanded that Vance apologize for being white.
The fact that he, and people like him, FEEL like they’re being asked to apologize for it, is because somewhere in the depths of their rotten little, dried up, stunted souls, there is tiny bit of conscience, that hallucinates the demand for the apology for something - for being hateful - and translates it into the nonsense - a demand to apologize for being white - that allows their self-esteem to come out unscathed.

I am no prepper by any means. I’m not telling you the sky is falling in. What I’m saying is that, where once you might have taken certain aspects of the infrastructure for granted, you need to change your mindset about that.
If you absolutely require something that runs on electricity for your life, then please do not be foolish enough to assume uninterrupted power. Get batteries, get solar panels. You are going to need them.

2025-12-21 09:56:01 GMT

Perhaps, having lived in a developing country, I have some insight into how one constructs one’s work and life in anticipation of infrastructure failure.
Looking at what climate change is doing to the weather, and what bat-shit crazy leaders are doing to their nations, here’s my advice: assume everything can fail.
Decide what failures might endanger your life, your work, your well-being, your comfort - in that order.
Address the first one first, then work down the list.

2025-12-21 08:59:06 GMT

I know this seems unimportant, but it reflects a culture that cannot seem to anticipate the ‘impossible’.
All over developing countries with dodgy electrical infrastructure, powersupply is buffered by a conditioner that mitigates switchover from mains to battery or emergency generators.
Who would trust people with such a lack of foresight to run anything?

It’s not that the EU is perfect - it’s not. It’s not that governments of countries within the EU aren’t often underwhelming. They are.
But this union, like all unions, makes us strong. And both Russia and the US fear this. They can’t abide the existence of a bloc of countries where democracy still matters. It provides their own citizens with a comparison they continually have to answer for.

2025-12-10 13:40:03 GMT

There is only one reason why both Russia and the US under Trump are chomping at the bit to break the EU apart and that is because, together, we are a significant threat to their corrupt version of a world order.
Parties in Europe clamouring to help Russia and the US succeed are, quite frankly, traitors to their own states.
Whether they’re doing it for ideological or financial reasons (probably for both), they are knowingly placing their own citizens in a position of subordination.

I’m loving my new workspace too much. It’s almost 2 am here, but I am almost finished this very lovely #Haori. #Sewing

For anyone from Malaga, the pottery studio where I do my classes is having a Christmas pop-up market - It has finished and glazed all the abandoned pieces made at the studio, and will be selling them. All proceeds go to to help #refugees.

When I point out that Trump consistently uses the language of genocide, it isn’t that I’m surprised about it.
It is that it needs to be consistently pointed out, and not normalised. It should shock our conscience and keep on shocking our conscience. That doesn’t mean we’re surprised. It means we’re not desensitised to it.
Historically, people in power who call groups of people ‘garbage’ or ‘vermin’ or other dehumanising pejoratives, usually do this just before they commit atrocities.

Today I was quiet on here, because I spent most of it reworking my office so I have a space to sew and work on things, and don’t take up the entire living and dining room with my shit. #sewing

"Those in power want you to de-value others so you will accept atrocities.”
This is a profoundly true statement. And it is important to remember it every time you think perhaps you are over-reacting to witnessing the cruelty and the disdain inflicted on others.
Do not accept the invitation to be a “pragmatist". It’s a way of grooming you to accept the misery of others.

It’s not as if I do not accept that in pandemics people do die.
It’s that I am not prepared to ‘bargain’ lives away so you can jerk off pragmatically.

Good god, every so often, you run across the fucking ugliest minds on here.

With a data set of 13+ million, the verdict is in: the risks of a #Covid infection and its sequelae are far, far higher than the risk of vaccine side-effects in children and young people.

This bullshit ‘child sacrifice’ crap just reeks of the same race baiting crap as Jews making passover matzo from the blood of Christian infants.
How ironic then that the only culture practicing child sacrifice these days is the MAGA crowd who refuses to vaccinate their children. Because essentially that is what is occurring. They are sacrificing their children on the altar of their racist, anti-science ideology.
It’s always projection.

Just when you think the world has become incomprehensible and up is down, you get a little bit of light.
I’m not a fan of Comey. His poor judgement is legendary. But Letitia James was simply doing her job. Which is not a crime.

I don’t care how much you admire Noam Chomsky. For centuries, men in high positions have behaved unspeakably to women and children, and I don’t give a shit how great a thinker they were.
Indeed if anyone had the capacity to understand the monstrous consequences of a power imbalance and what consent is, it’s people like Chomsky.

Apparently, you can’t tempt ‘ANTIFA' to attack you and carve ‘Trump Whore’ on you. You have to hire someone privately.

To say that any given search on the internet, using almost any browser, has turned into a challenge of sorting out the crap, I have noticed that if I put a date in my search - pre-2020, I get a lot less AI generated garbage. #Search

"The storied choice between socialism and barbarism was made exquisitely clear a good many years ago in the United States, and both major parties chose barbarism”
This is one of the best essays I’ve read in more than a decade.
Essential reading.
