Every complaint I had against Chomsky concerned the same problem: the way he excused or dismissed atrocities committed by his team: ie regimes and forces opposed to Western hegemonic power. As his friend, Epstein was given the same pass.
In other words, it's not an anomaly.
It's the same story.

1. Noam Chomsky's response to the first tranche of Epstein docs - arrogant, high-handed, obfuscatory and, we now know, dishonest - reminded me of something: his response to my questions about genocide denial, 15 years ago. 🧵

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

I note here that the police raided Nicola Sturgeon’s house live on national television because they thought her husband had spent party donations on a camper van
I feel it’s very irresponsible and inflammatory to accept donations from extremely partisan pro-Israel billionaires to help wreck your own party, then conceal them from the authorities while booting the pro-Palestine left for antisemitism, while you facilitate the genocide of the Palestinian people.

Rachel Reeves says the UK is open for business with the US, EU and India deals:
But we only get £22 billion:
- £3.4 billion from UK-US tariff deal
- £14 billion from UK-EU reset
- £4.8 billion from UK-India
Rejoining the EU Single Market would give us £140 billion
