This stunt was pulled on Labour. We've seen it all before. Keep Israel out of British politics. We won't hear a damn thing of Jewish interference in British affairs, especially from the BBC.
Israel is a democracy, the UK too. Doesn't mean much.

The view on taxes is the same as the shopping trolley test. A simple civic care to return your trolley, not some pseudo-justification your time is too valuable, you're too busy, or there's a pleb to do that. The aim of community is to construct and build not become atomized into a singularity.
When are we going to call this a world war. People are drawn in from every continent.
Labor's second term hasn't delivered a better society. Albanese is all faux - the NACC, social justice, FOI, accountability. The LNP want personal financial payoff, the ALP power to self-enrich. Albo the bogan deceived us all. He delivered what a bogan can't, a party political dynasty.

Demonstrated not just by the US trip but replacing the LNP as the centrist Party. It's no good for us, let alone Australia simply bc, call it underlying or macro, RW corporate state capture is unabated. Corporations and their elites both squeezing the pips and appropriating the tree.

he's no parvenu although that's how the Libs derisively look at most working class people. He's no dope although he'd struggle with any discipline's complexity. It seems he's rooted in politics (and previously any woman who would succumb) where his real ability is: meticulous strategy.

#auspol Reconsidering PM Albanese. His strength was his ability to negotiate - I was informed by a Labor insider during the Gillard years it was Albanese who subtely influenced power within Labor and between the parties via his negotiating skills. Looking at him I can't put my finger on it,

Shoot it down. You won't create Russian compliance any other way. The nation has gone rogue with no regard for international norms. To stop Russia being a threat force it the hard way to comply with international law and regulation. They will learn.
I don't think Arteta trusts Merino. Would like to say Arteta sees MM as a midfield Director. But one suspects MM will be somewhat unhappy between where he thinks he should play and where Arteta thinks he should play. His back heel though was sharp thinking.

Thank you! Yes - I send a 4pm weekday newsletter where I curate articles on the top news stores of the day - from our excellent independent news media publishers and commentators.
I saw this cat become a 'kinetic philosopher' with a full grip understanding what both causality and consequence are. Underestimate cats at our peril. bsky.app/profile/danc...
If my owner gets angry for this little mischief, I'll tell her that I was resting peacefully when the dog tried to push me off the table and pulled the flour bowl on himself. My friend, who is now become black and white, won't tell on me because he's afraid of my claws.🐈🐕

Don't tell me animals don't understand causality.
I did not expect you to omit the cat. Stay casual.

And again some more red sail magic from this summer…
I’m far to be done with the Greenland folders, so except more red sails & ice images 😅.
I have been to England for my schooling and tertiary education, been there as a tourist on numerous occasions, and in latter life as an immigrant. I left it all behind, the RW culture, the oppression, ruined millions of lives. I wanted it for its landscape and left due to its controlled destruction.
individuality within a necessary parametric. I look for your book and it's on Amazon, lad f*** that. Recovering Tory? It appears you still accept the elites ecosystem? F*** Kindle too. I'm in Australia, rtd economist, if I see your book in a bookshop I'll purchase it then. Enjoy your hagelslag jonge
I read your bio, "...recovering Tory." Yet you sound like a centrist, so economics and culture opened your eyes. Britain was hollowed out and its potentiality fleeced by the Tories. Anglophone countries are corporate elite captured. The NL is different since it synthesizes community and

#auspol Why are the Dutch elections interesting for Australia. The surprise rise of the D66 party. "Democrats 66 a social liberal and progressive party on the centre to centre-left." One wonders if there will be a new party between the Greens and the demonstrably RW ALP?
