Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
A vital passage has a wasp's nest in it. The wasps can be annoying, but people endure them to use it.
Suddenly, someone bashes the nest with a huge stick.
The wasps swarm, stinging and stinging! The passage is now impassable.
Do you blame the wasps? Or the fool with the stick?
My apologies Trish, I have rewatched all his goals again and I can’t believe what I was thinking 😜

This is a great watch
What we see here is Donald Trump, acting as he always does, as a global chaos generator.
The further we stand away from that, the better off we will be.
Well said @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 👏

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
Jordan Pickford's save had Newcastle and Everton players in SHOCK.
A white female plumber, a Jewish gay man and a Muslim wan walked into a hall....and united a community.

Yes very odd
It certainly is, Israel and the USA are the biggest threat to world peace right now, and Starmer is going to drag the UK into this. Dark times
So do you support the USA & Israel regimes and their oppressive security forces?
All part of the process, massive improvement from the previous few seasons, keep progressing & imagine what could be to come
Honestly thought you were fishing for bites when you left Pickford off the list 😆
Best since big Nev, no question for me, has been for the last 4 or 5 seasons

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me: seven swans-a-swimming, six geese-a-laying, FIVE GOLD RINGS, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree. The swans aren't a-swimming any more; ate them.
If you like vikings,“The Last Kingdom“ is a fantastic series, one of the best series I’ve watched
