reminded of eric williams's observation about britain's relationship to its history with slavery. "British historians wrote almost as if Britain had introduced Negro slavery solely for the satisfaction of abolishing it."

Does a resident doctor earn more than an MP? No. Let’s save the desperate morality grasps from politicians then. MPs have had umpteen pay rises since 2010 and they have quietly and relentlessly awarded these to themselves, regardless of what the public is going through.

Israel has killed over 1,000 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since Oct 2023

So this justifies killing hundreds of thousands of Israelis, bombing Israeli hospitals & schools, destroying synagogues, murdering Israeli journalists & healthcare workers. Isnt that how it works?
