Morning all.

The UK will condemn this any minute, I'm sure, what with deliberately targeting hospitals being a war crime and all.



Weirdly, the BBC don't mention the war crime part. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp3y046q91no

Good afternoon.

Things that are entirely unsurprising...

1. A Reform candidate for Runcorn by-election who is a former Tory Mayor.
2. Some bod who was political editor at Paul Marshall's UnHerd now installed as editor of the New Statesman.

I would guess we've all had emails that have been sent to us in error, but this is on a different level of stupid.

Longish read on Unherd and Paul Marshall (Billionaire - Unherd, Spectator, GBNews) who instigated the Orange Book movement, and works behind the anti-wokeness etc smokescreens to make life safe for those poor persecuted billionaires --

"" UnHerd’s stomach for diverse viewpoints on certain issues may be unique, but this set of media outlets – don’t call them a herd – move within the same pastures, grazing on culture war fodder and pushing political discourse in the same direction. They claim ordinary people and free speech are under threat from the shady influence of elites, but focus their ire almost entirely on progressives – with comparatively little to say about either the burgeoning profits of the ultra-wealthy or how their financial interests shape and subvert democracy. These outlets offer a glimpse into Conservatism’s future: a ruling-class creed desperately trying to reinvent itself as an insurrectionary crusade, relinquishing any responsibility for the world they have played no small part in shaping.

Those missles cost a $billion, when are the yuropeens going to remunerate ?

PS I didn't thing the straits of Hormuz were actually closed ..... ?

These are things that Labour should be condemning these things with everything they can, not staying silent and even help perpetuate it, by continuing to support & fund Israel's genocidal war.

You don't understand refit . I am a Non-negotiable Zionist so that excuses my support for anything Bibi does, tho I do emit a few small traitorous quibbles from time to time .
