Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. If there is no struggle, there is no progress.

Weird who gets an apology and retraction for Panorama episodes and who doesn't, isn't it?
The BBC is apologising for its Panorama edit. It shouldn’t. First, the narrative is true: Donald Trump *did* incite the Capitol riot. Second, the apology won’t appease those attacking it. So why not at least stand for something?

The BBC was right about the Capitol riots. In a sane world, Trump would be in jail
The US President faced impeachment over the violence, and in a world where Republicans had more courage, he would have been found guilty

I recall around 1990 an elderly supply teacher explaining to my class what war is actually like, macho mythology aside. The sound bullets make. Men crying for their mummys as they die on the battlefield. It's haunted me ever since, and certainly played a role in politicising me.
As a teen or young adult in the 1990s you had constant encounters with people in their 50s-80s who were combatants, victims or perpetrators during catastrophes of the mid-20th century
That direct link to realities of Nazism and other forms of oppression such as Stalinism or colonialism is now gone

This is what they’ll tell themselves alright, because it’ll be more convenient than admitting that they’ve fucked it by relentlessly attacking their own supporters until there’s nobody left who likes them or wants what they’re selling.

The worldview requires that there be external and internal enemies and soft traitors who must all be disciplined by hard men doing purifying violence. You cannot say "look we got rid of the enemies for you, are you happy now?" That fully, fundamentally misunderstands everything going on here.

Indeed. And more than that, it's a reaction to it. What rattled elite racists more than anything about BLM in 2020 was the extent to which it resonated with the general public. They saw a major leftward shift in hegemonic cultural values, and they've been desperately trying to reverse it ever since.
The breaking down of anti-racism norms *in elite circles* in British politics is starkly at odds with the direction of public opinion on race.
Conservative Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp repeatedly refusing to say that he thinks Reform MP Sarah Pochin saying she doesn't like seeing black people on TV was racist.
Says he wouldn't use her "language" but it's right for her to express "legitimate concerns" about migration

The consistent attempts to demonise, stigmatise and other the anti-genocide movement ("unBritish") is a form of political collusion with the genocide. It directly echoes and amplifies the propaganda of the state committing the genocide, and seeks to alleviate political pressure on its accomplices.

When I - a smart lobby journo - was invited to a secret briefing by Labour’s millionaire donations officer who had access to a huge slush fund, to hear about a terrifying scandal that was entirely based upon Facebook posts by random members of the public, I was impressed by how legit it was.
On the one hand, it is *incredibly* aggravating that this is being Noticed now, and Noticed via being passed to a Tory MP to make it look like a new story in particular. On the other, this letter is a Who’s Who of people who spent early 2024 bragging to journos about how smart they’d been.
![New information on how the Electoral Commission was misled
The Conservative Party has now seen the internal correspondence between Morgan McSweeney (corresponding from a Labour Party email account) and Gerald Shamash* of solicitor Edwards Duthie Shamash. We assume that this email has been passed from within the Labour Party to outside sources. This correspondence relates to how the Electoral Commissior should be handled after the Commission had initiated its formal investigation
On 3 February 2021, Mr Shamash advises Morgan McSweeney:
"The amounts of the late reported donations is £739,492 and there are in my view, no easy way to explain how LT [Labour Together] finds itself in this situation."
• "The legislation is clear that notwithstanding LT should have reported."
• "The advice from the EC was that LT as a members association LT needed to continue to register."
• In that light, he recommends a strategy where "best to simply base our case as to the non-reporting down as admin error."
• The current Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, is quoted that she recalled a meeting with Labour MPs in early 2019, where Morgan McSweeney told them that donations to Labour Together had to be, and were being, reported to the Electoral Commission.
• But, based on information from Shabana Mahmood and Steve Reed [current Local Government Secretary, who is in charge of electoral law], he notes that the intent of Labour Together was otherwise - to hide the donations "to protect Trevor [Chinn) as donor and director".
[EC's] suspicions".
• There is discussion of a notional conversation with the Electoral Commission in 2018 (incidentally, of which the Electoral Commission has no record*), where it is recommended should not be referenced given it would result in a "defensive approach" by the Electoral Commission; the advice is also that such an approach would be inconsistent with the reporting of a donation in August 2018.
