british arms continue to be sold to an army whose soldiers have published by now countless photos of themselves taking women’s underwear as war trophies. but don’t worry, the foreign office is sending those women a rape whistle for their protection

Mat’s on the money, as always
Absolutely losing my mind at the fact that Sadie Frost’s character in “Common People” is based on a real conversation Jarvis Cocker had in 1988 with… Yanis Varoufakis’ wife.
8. You are not being persecuted. What is happening is that you are supporting a genocide and history will understand this as a genocide, and your selfish, shallow refusal to see yourself realistically, - these crimes will follow you for the rest of your life.
How to get an Israeli spokesperson to stop talking: ask them for the evidence
Lankum won the biggest music award in Ireland last night and their speech was cut from RTE because they used their platform to highlight genocide
Lankum won the biggest music award in Ireland last night and their speech was cut from RTE because they used their platform to highlight genocide
If your reaction to a peaceful protest in a public place against an ongoing genocide is to feel “unsafe” and demand that those protesting are silenced, then the protest is not the problem. theguardian.com/football/2024/…
i find these individual acts of protest so moving and inspiring. we are not all Aaron Bushnell, nor should we be, but we can all be this guy. we can all be the guy i saw standing on his own all day outside my local branch of Barclay's with a Palestinian flag.

Briefly logging on to rep this *excellent* piece by @chalravens on @ehgillett's equally excellent book. Especially struck that not only rave but also New Labour culture politics - Mandelson & the Dome appear - feel like vanished worlds.

re evopsych, i think some people get stuck in what i think of as the regretful-liberal attitude to science’s interaction with politics, where all the “objective facts” of the world asserted by the right are unfortunately true, but we can overcome them. this is often inaccurate
anyway, as always the worst sort of scientism comes from people who’ve never in their life actually done any science. i can only hope that if your mind isn’t changed by the strength of the argument then you may at least retreat in shame at how deeply foolish you sound

@dfnbrown1 @ehgillett I wouldn’t have held it against you if you didn’t. If Doritos was funding “a new multi-platform initiative backed by action and funding designed to bolster the voices of Black innovators and creators and provide them with resources to continue driving change”, good for them + you
@ehgillett @dfnbrown1 Found that jarring too. Also found little to fault in accepting that $50k! Didn’t agree with all the rest either but certainly plenty to chew on

We used to do this at Conservative HQ. We would ask the Daily Express to print something unsubtantiated* then get an MP to tell Parliament “I read in the Express that X”, and then pitch to the other papers that “Parliament was told X” I’m sure Labour** did the same thing…
But remember, when you accuse British journalists of deference and being dependent on elite access, you are undermining the only democratic institution to hold politicians accountable

@jamesrbuk I note this is almost the exact same argument I heard used earlier on the radio by Tory MP Bob Seely earlier today, as part of a broader argument that we shouldn't remove arms sales from human rights abusers like Saudi Arabia, because we need their intelligence services.
@jamesrbuk By the same logic, I shouldn't bother voting in UK elections, recycling, or doing anything really useful for society at large, because my contribution is too small to matter.
dgmw, sending supplies to people who need them is good. but they would be very able to buy their own soap and tampons if their cities weren’t being bombed to bits, a process in which the uk has cheerfully participated
