WHAT'S so special about
used teabags? In my house,
every other bit of kitchen rubbish
goes straight in the bin. But not
teabags. They get put on a special
dish next to the kettle to lie in state
for 24 hours in view of everyone.
Are tea bags somehow related to
the Royal Family?

As Tony Blair is once again seeking attention, here’s a bit of political satire I kept from 2001-2.

Tony Blair in a pilot’s uniform recommending a ‘snort of Yank bum’.

Arsenal did indeed lose both of those matches.

We worked it out it was either the 1980 cup final Arsenal v West Ham or most probably the Arsenal v Spurs on 30/8/80.

Israel using water cannons more than 100km into international waters against aid bringers as our Labour government declares it will forever stand aside along Israel. The world's first good genocide must simply, sensibly, moderately, statesmanlikely go on. Anglophone liberal democracy demands it.

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others.

Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla:

“People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.”

Scrawling slurs on a Chinese restaurant is intolerable racism. Adjusting administrative policies and passing migration legislation to curtail human rights is responsible statecraft that responds to the wishes of hardworking racist families who scrawl slurs on Chinese restaurants.

It's different!

Dan Sohege @danielsohege.bsky.social · 12d

It isn't international law which is the issue. It is politicians like Starmer demonising migrants and stripping them off rights.

When you start talking about reducing access to rights for one group you open the door for someone else to end them for others.

Starmer wants rethink on international law to tackle migration

The PM gives the clearest sign yet the government wants to reform how human rights laws are applied in immigration cases.

Municipal guide cover of the day: Halesowen (1969) with a perfect 60’s sketch of the shopping centre. The guide was published by Burrows.

The cover contains a black and white sketch of a 1960s shopping precinct with a brick-encircled flower bed in the middle distance and some “1960s architecture” shops in the background. Superimposed on this are three wedges of colour - blue at the top, tan in the middle and brown at the bottom. The title is Halesowen Official guide.

Whether you are a fan of Christianity or not, you cannot deny that as a religion it is still ultimately a 'spin-off'. A bit like 'Joey'.

Wow Starmer finally drawing a line!

"If you say or imply that people cannot be English or British because of the colour of their skin, that mixed-heritage families owe you an explanation... If you say that they should now be deported, then mark my words - we will fight you with everything we have".

Let that sink in

"Despite its extreme population density, Gaza was mostly self-sufficient in vegetables and poultry, and met much of the population’s demand for olives, fruit and milk. But last month the UN reported that just 1.5% of its agricultural land now remains both accessible and undamaged."

George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 15d

When you consider the *ecocide* alongside the genocide being perpetrated in Gaza, you begin to grasp the totality of the Israeli state’s attempt to eliminate both the Palestinians and their homeland.

Israel’s ecocide in Gaza sends this message: even if we stopped dropping bombs, you couldn’t live here | George Monbiot

Consider the annihilation of agricultural land alongside the genocide – and grasp the chilling totality of this attempt to eliminate all life, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
