Wah wah wah, why cant you be an old fashioned vulgar Marxist and make it easier for us to attack you, Zack?! Why!?!?!?!
Something I find striking about Zach Polanski is how - unlike the vast majority of those who played a key role in Corbynism - his politics are so clearly not rooted in any kind of deeper analysis or intellectual tradition. It's all just a surface-level synthesis of 2010s left-wing slogans and memes.

It's almost as if Nick Robinson is really, and increasingly, right-wing himself. Imagine.
What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
How the simmering UK freedom of speech row reached boiling point
How did we reach a point where the UK is being compared to a 'tin pot Third World dictatorship'?

Add this to the long list of literature that has been making this point for decades. If political and media elites are still making this 'mistake', it's not from ignorance. It's because they want to do it. Or at least are more comfortable throwing minorities under a bus than standing up for them.
Radical right accommodation really does not work.

There’s an enormous amount of stuff in this book I’d like to highlight, but start with:
“What emerges as the most elementary insight is that, since we do not now have any ways of making computers wise, we ought not now to give computers tasks that demand wisdom.”

So while AI slop is being injected into our veins, access to a relatively benign (and in some cases pretty valuable) tool like Wikipedia is being restricted. Make it make sense

One question that hasn't been asked enough, especially over the last 18 months, is what conception of national interest, in the minds of the FP blob, is served by the UK aiding and abeting this sort of atrocity?
This morning Israel opened fire on a crowd of Palestinians waiting for food, & reports are that at least 50 Palestinians have been killed.
A witness who was at the site of the massacre says the death toll will be far greater.

Public ownership of England’s water companies could cost close to zero.

Starmer is now doing the fascist work for Israel.
Israel have said they will attack the humanitarian ship Madleen as it attempts to bring aid to Gaza and Starmer now has a spy plane looking at its location.
He should never be allowed to recover from this act of evil.
