Israeli tactics:
1. Stop aid entering Gaza
2. Deny famine is taking place
3. When famine becomes undeniable, stall as long as possible
4. When western pressure mounts, do the minimum possible
5. When western attention moves on, return to step 1.

What fun... Wikipedia may be blocked in the UK under a later stage of our insanely self-defeating online safety law.
There's a court case going on, but if Wikipedia lose it they're going to IP-block the UK because the only other alternative would be to put in adult ID checks.

Ian Hislop, "It is pretty ludicrous we have got to a state where a man is arrested for carrying a joke? I mean, freedom of expression, freedom of speech, all those things we claim to be interested in?"

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

This is fascinating to watch. It's not that he's charismatic. It's that he's charismatic in a specifically social media way, on the social media equivalent of the Graham Norton Show. There's a proper lesson here - a highly superficial, but very effective comms lesson - which Labour will duly ignore.

The people at the top of the club were not blind to this situation, and still considered it in the interests of sporting expedience.

We were born on a planet abundant enough for everyone to thrive…
But the rich and powerful carved it up, waged war on what they couldn’t own, called it scarcity
…and sold us the illusion that we must compete for crumbs.

If you want to stop World War Three, think what would have stopped World War Two.
Occupation of the Ruhr. Anschluss with Austria. Annexation of Sudetenland. Hitler could have been stopped each time.
But fear of war led to war.
Don’t repeat the mistake.

There's no placating the Brexiters, no reasoning with them, no basic comprehension or adulthood. You can't debate papers behaving like the Sun or the Mail this morning. There's nothing to debate with. They view all trading relations with Europe as humiliation.

The worst element of what happened this week isn't even about immigration specifically. It's that Starmer surrendered against populism.

Today’s immigration announcement and rhetoric is profoundly depressing.
It’s the closest I’ve come to the feelings I had about the UK the day after the referendum (and the months and years thereafter).
And now from a Labour govt and PM.

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening.
That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk.
Shame on you, Keir Starmer.
