There is a difference between being anti-war and an apologist to people like Putin.
Both Palestinians and Ukrainians have the right to defend themselves and choose their own future.
Your statements on Ukraine are very very poor, I am afraid.

2. Countries that have ID cards - like the whole of Europe - still have the same irregular migration problem (you may have heard!!!)
& in fact the UK has the lowest share of its economy estimated as irregular economy in Europe so if it fixes the issue WHY DIDNT IT FIX IT THERE?

Ok. They’ve pissed me off.
I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards:
1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

Dr Rathi Guhadasan offers some reflections for International Women’s Day. Two years ago, former Socialist Health Association (SHA) Vice Chair Vivien Walsh wrote an article entitled “Women’s Lives Before the NHS”. Today, as we celebrate International Women’s Day, the article is a timely reminder of what our predecessors in the SHA (or Socialist Medical Association as it was then) and labour movement achieved and why it was so important.
