Any moment now!
1. One thing you need to realise about the British Establishment is that it uses clowns to express its deepest desires. People like Rod Liddle offer a kind of deniability - "lighten up, he's just having a laugh". But they deliver a closer representation of its truths than any sober editorial.
Meanwhile

The Spectator is condoning the bombing of Brighton and Glastonbury

I'm sure it will be a proscribed organisation any minute now...

Coming from a so called "Human Rights lawyer"!
This, to be considered by the House of Commons this afternoon, needs to cause as much political trouble for the government as the welfare bill. Ask your MP to stand up for the right to protest.

Today, the UK government intends to ban the non-violent protesters Palestine Action as a "terrorist" group, exposing anyone supporting them to terrorism charges. In 2 days, 380,000 people have watched this video on YT alone.
You're going to need a bigger prison.

Is Starmer a human rights lawyer? Base your judgment on this:

A humanitarian lawyer specializes in the legal frameworks designed to protect individuals during armed conflict and other humanitarian crises. They work to uphold international humanitarian law, which aims to limit the suffering caused.

It's outrageous and shameful that this was printed by one of the UK's most popular newspapers.

Approve of what Bob Vylan said or not, they didn't say *that*.

Should Yvette Cooper proscribe Labour Friends of Israel as a terrorist organisation?

Confirmation of the standard of politician the UK has!
"As Farage & Badenoch fight within the right, why is Ed Davey the public's favourite opposition party leader (and why doesn't the media notice)?
Who do Britons think would make the best prime minister?

Keir Starmer vs Kemi Badenoch: Starmer +11
Keir Starmer vs Nigel Farage: Starmer +10
Keir Starmer vs Ed Davey: Starmer +8
Kemi Badenoch vs Nigel Farage: Tie
Kemi Badenoch vs Ed Davey: Davey +9
Nigel Farage vs Ed Davey: Davey +5

9/ Meanwhile, separately to APR, 355 aristocratic estates are claiming another tax break - the 'tax-exempt heritage assets' scheme - and using it to prop up ecologically damaging grouse moors & pheasant shoots.

Let's close this loophole & give nature a break:
