You can lock up as many people as you want for chanting or protesting against genocide.
You will never scrub away the truth about that genocide - or your own complicity in it.
You are just ensuring that you will be damned all the more for what you have done.

Today I offer a reminder of the word ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted from too much work. To be ‘foreswunk’ (my own version) is to be exhausted before you even begin.

First Past the Post cannot handle this level of fragmentation. It will produce completely freak results.
We can grasp this problem now, or wait for the train to crash.

5 parties on more than 12%, winner gains seat with under 30%. Results like this used to be rare, freak outliers. Now they are routine (there was a second just like this yesterday). Electoral chaos.
Newmarket East (West Suffolk) Council By-Election Result:
➡️ RFM: 29.7% (New)
🌳 CON: 25.0% (+4.1)
🔶 LDM: 17.2% (-3.1)
🌹 LAB: 15.3% (-8.3)
🌍 GRN: 12.8% (New)
No WSI (-19.2) or Ind (-16.1) as previous.
Reform GAIN from Labour.
Changes w/ 2023.

“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties”

This is a stupid thing to be annoyed by, but why do online supermarkets add every single item I buy to my ‘favourites’? Just because I buy something once doesn’t mean it’s a favourite. Give me the option to see ‘previously ordered’ as well as things that I select which are truly my favourite things.

A man that's been president for a total of more than 4.5 years still believes those claiming asylum are people being released from mental health facilities.
Trump: "People from mental institutions and insane asylums. You know what that is? Insane asylum, that's a mental institution on steroids. During the campaign I'd talk about the late great Hannibal Lecter."
