Palestine Action wasn’t banned because it’s a terrorist organisation. It was banned because large corporations, like the Elbit weapons firm, have captured the UK government

It was a Sunday morning after a home match. Michelle ma Belle and I were on holiday in Newcastle. I was at the dining table with my back to a warm radiator and staring at a crossword puzzle, benumbed by the 1-3 humiliation at St. James’s Park of Newcastle United by a newly promoted Bournemouth. Should you, a middle-aged man with responsibilities, not have weightier matters on your mind the look on the face of Michelle ma Belle implied.

Apropos the USA's recent intervention in Venezuela, an extract from a book of mine: Ade, the Flying Paintbrush On the lagoon a slim woman canoed downstream, bare breasts swinging back and forth like accessory paddles with each languid stroke she made. Ade turned left on to the concrete path to find Professor Aloja eating a biscuit in front of a weather-beaten cabin beside the lagoon.

The Genocide in Gaza has not stopped. It has been rebranded. And that is enough of a linguistic subterfuge to get the world to ignore it.

A difficult conversation with brother Dimitri.

Disgusting double standards

Don’t judge the Palestinians unless YOU have had a Nakba and been forced out in the middle of dinner or off the toilet bowl on the end of an Israeli gun and rendered homeless for generations and YOUR children were born in a tent then lived behind a rock and YOU’VE been forced to trek for miles to drink water from the gutter then stand for hours at checkpoints in the pitiless sun under the cruel mocking gaze of the occupier racist settler coloniser who has learned from what was done to the Incas, the Aztecs, the Cherokee, Choctaw, Yoruba, Igbo and the Aborigines in the Australias.

In December 2023 I posted on Twitter the testimony, collected by the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, of a Palestinian man who had been forcibly conscripted as a human shield in the Gaza Strip by th...

The new Gaza death count this week surpassed 494,000 people, or 23.5% of Gaza’s entire pre-conflict population. A few days from now (October 19) the total will rise about 500,000 based on the statisti...

From A Quest for Solace. "Os didn’t want the cast-off second-hand second-class life, the poor twin, the simulacrum, the penumbra of the life her wits deserved. Os wanted what they had, what the Gladstones, Rhodes, Levers, Leopolds, Savilles, Putins, Bushes, Blairs, Cheneys, your average manager Mr. Slocombe of Acacia Avenue, had. She wanted what that football man, caught on camera dragging one of the to-die-for jobs in the game into a brown envelope yet drowning in million-pound offers, had.

GENOCIDE YEAR 3 Before anything else, we must recognise the loss. The loss of so many lives. Entire families wiped from the registry, their names erased alongside their bodies. The lives buried under...

Politicians, the police and the media want millions of us to imagine we are alone in grieving the slaughter of Gaza's children – and that our grief is shameful. They need us to succumb to their lies

GENOCIDAIRE SPEAKS: Netanyahu’s Confession in Plain Sight Every genocidal regime eventually hits this stage, when the architect starts narrating his crimes like they’re policy achievements. Netanyahu...

Difficult to post when Tony Blair the butcher of Iraq is getting his grubby fingers on the genocide in Palestine but I thought I'd give it a try. It is potty training for grandson time now. Last week we were given this potty to use when Jonas stayed overnight.  We have an open top cabriolet grey one to use but the green one seemed more interesting and inviting.

First steps after the ceasefire: 1. Allow unrestricted humanitarian and medical aid into all affected areas. 2. Release all hostages, both Palestinian and Israeli. 3. Recover the bodies of Palestin...

There is no need for any one of us to serve in the IDF. The IDF should not exist. The state of Israel should not exist.

He'd appeared on a massive screen sitting on his solid gold privy, to wild cheers from the massed ranks of poverty and pallor.  Words flowed from his tongue like symphonies did from Amadeus. He promised them more automatic weapons as birthrights. USA, USA.  More  girls. USA, USA. Women were a God given gift to have their kids and mind the fucking frying pans.
