Aftonbladet's interview with Greta Thunberg is now available in English - it raises many serious questions, not least about the Swedish govt. effectively abandoning its citizens to torture because it doesn't agree with their politics. A thundering disgrace.

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

“Israel” killed most of the people who died on October 7th and it killed most of the hostages who died in Gaza. But all we hear in the West is Hamas, Hamas, Hamas, who, under international law, have the right to resist occupation by force. Any real peace will not include “Israel” at all.

Given that Corbyn would always attend these things in the past,
it's becoming clear that he either feels YP is more important,
or someone else has decided that for him.

That sadly seems about right, they really are getting in the way of everything, purposely or not.

I'm old enough to remember Hazell Blears and Jaqui Smith openly slagging the ECHR off on TV for several weeks, during the last Labour government,
and openly talking about it as a reason to leave the EU,
before getting booed at the Senedd when they said the same things about it there.

I always had a feeling they were looking for issues the press would rally behind, to leave it.

really cool that even after all this time, after all of the labour from numerous people to verify and vet accounts, after an article in the Guardian verifying accounts…there are still losers on this site who perpetuate the lie that all Palestinians on here are scammers

“Patrek Chase, kidney transplant program director at Parkland Health in Dallas, claimed that patients at his hospital – which generally serves a poorer population – were passed over for a healthy organ in favor of patients at UT Southwestern Medical Center, which generally helps the affluent.”

Every single person who enabled this rabid, racist, antisemitic, Prime Minister, needs wiping off the face of this earth.

particularly callous and inhumane detail here. these people never gave a fuck about Jews

"In September 2020 “Gordstein” was one of three complainants against Riva Joffe, an 80-year-old Jewish veteran of the anti-Apartheid struggle in South Africa.

Her sin was to have described Israel as an Apartheid state (a view shared by Amnesty, Human Rights Watch and the Israeli human rights organisation B’tselem) and to have urged Jeremy Corbyn to stand up to the “Zionist lobby.”

The Labour Party opened a formal investigation and Joffe spent the closing days of her life penning an immensely dignified response from her death bed. “This frenzy of purging you are driven to – it’s not the behaviour of mature adults. It smacks of desperation, fear and panic,” she wrote.

Joffe lived in Starmer’s constituency and knew him personally. But a direct request on behalf of her son that the charges against her be posthumously dropped did not even elicit a response."

Jovan Owusu-Nepaul said it himself on sky news,
he wasn't even the first person to mention it.

What a weird hill to die on, defending racism and corruption, because you are worried that other corrupt racists will do the same thing.

I hope you are getting paid for this.
