We absolutely should be looking to help children towards a gainful and rewarding career.

Question is - are we going to fund the schools to do this, regulate employers and invest in the infrastructure & public services required?

We’re the guarantors - not the lenders.

Regardless, it’s ridiculous to be socialising risk for foreign businesses while leaving British families to the mercy of the markets.

Predator has positive connotations in some contexts, parasite class is more fitting.

The only thing MAGA might care about is the Epstein files - hence the “FBI informant” line being spun.

They’re not going to revolt over the extrajudicial killing of alleged drug traffickers or the deployment of his personal police force to terrorise liberal cities; they love this stuff.

Better to use state owned accommodation than privately owned hotels, though I doubt his reasoning is to reduce the misallocation of public funds.

It’s unlikely that the intention was to take any evidence from him.

It was a threat.

Putting to one side the ethnic cleansing currently underway in the West Bank, the fact that this campaign of violence is currently focused on Gaza does not disqualify it as genocide.

Versailles.

Not in its design, but in its ostentatious display of excess that (would-be) royalty immerse themselves in while the people face economic hardship.

Didn’t end well for the French ruling class.

It also has to be proportionate and congruent with the rest of our laws.

We will see how it turns out in court.

Which has never been exercised in this manner.

We have conspiracy laws for that too.

The state already has the means to respond to this without conflating protest with terror.

And to add to the absurdity of this situation, we don’t even own those refuelling aircraft. They’re on hire.

It’s not the first time military bases have been targeted by protesters, but it is the first time that a group engaged in such have been proscribed.

This is a disturbing precedent, especially when other groups like JSO are being considered for proscription too.

Protest is under threat in the UK.
'Extreme' protest groups face ban under proposal

The problem is that a human interaction isn’t being commodified.

Won’t someone think of the shareholders?!

Rejoining would help, but it’s even more important that we shake off the failed Thatcherite experiment of neoliberalism.

Nobody who is outwardly admitting that they are a fascist has a platform of any significance.

Those vulnerable to this societal disease are not going to be won over by well formed and factual arguments, all this serves as is a recruitment broadcast for fascists and debate porn for liberals.
July 20, 2025 at 9:59 PM
Go out and protest, sure, but debating fascists is counterproductive.
July 20, 2025 at 7:12 PM
You start by not platforming them.

Shut these fascists out, target their financial backers, and their vile movement will fail.
