Observing the discourse. Low expectations, occasional surprises.

It's 30s all over again :(
I honestly think it was intended. Not only in terms of "cruelty is the point", but inflicting chaos and ramping up serious crimes in order to get excuses when trying to invade American cities.
This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

Off to lunch. Good news: Sources say the food in this courthouse is not offensive to a person of reasonable sensibility.

Yes, because Badenoch’s was a criminal offence carrying a custodial sentence, whereas Reeves’ was not.

My suspicion is that the police know it's their their friend or colleague, so don't want to chase them.

Remember Norfolk folk, if you're a racist thug, police have decriminalised bodily harm for you.
Violence over street flags continues. A 68-year-old was brutally attacked and hospitalised while trying to take banners down, yet despite retrieving evidence from a house, police took no further action.

Gives some hope. I'm trying to make sure young people I talk to actually _go_ and vote ❤️
When @zackpolanski.bsky.social was elected leader of the Green Party, he said: "We’re not here just to be disappointed by Labour. We’re here to replace you."
Among voters under 50, its already happening! 🥳💚

Upcoming announcement from the WH: "The house is not in session for the X weeks. The executive branch needs to take over"

_taking over intensifies_
They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

Mainstream xenophobia from three out of the five biggest, mainstream parties (including the government, very officially), vast majority of the mainstream media.

Grim place to live. Don't come.

A local councillor was just asking me if I'm planning to install a heat pump. Dunno, are they planning to let us continue living here for the duration of the payback period? They're so blind to what this 'debate' does at a community level.

Israel has already kidnapped at least three of the Palestinian hostages they released during the hostage exchange.

If Hamas did that, Israel would immediately *checks notes* Oh, Israel is ALREADY bombing Gaza, shooting civilians, and restricting aid? During the ceasefire? Well. That's awkward.

Not that Israel needs an excuse to continue bombing Gaza and restricting aid, but the fact that media (even outside the constant-Zionist-propaganda sphere) keeps repeating "Hamas won't return all the dead hostages" drives me up a wall. They CAN'T FIND THEIR REMAINS because Israel BLEW THEM UP.

It’s illegal to use a bulldozer in a national park, so why is destructive industrial fishing allowed in supposedly protected areas in UK waters?

If you think it doesn’t make sense either, now is the time to take action:

🚨SHOCKING FACT: Did you know there are 377 Marine Protected Areas in UK waters?

And the UK government allows industrial fishing in 374 of them.

See the problem here?

How would you feel if:

- you ended up with a Reform MP after the 2029 General Election

- who only got 20% of the vote

- and over 50% of people in your constituency had voted LD/GRN/LAB/YP

- and this happened around the country giving Reform 400 MPs and total power

Don’t forget FPTP.
