I keep forgetting to say - on the blog I wrote about being called a contrarian for doing history, why misunderstandings of the "Dark Ages" ignore materialist circumstances and also just, you know, any history at all whatsoever.

Unfortunately, though I have made the world’s best booty shorts and deployed them with great skill and aplomb, there are still those in our society who refuse to heed my message, and also to learn …

It’s not enough that Gazans have been stripped of their land, their homes, and a lifetime of hard work even education has been taken from them.
Education was the one thing Gazans held on to the most; our parents sold everything they owned so we could learn.

If the government is right that removing this cap at a cost of around £3bn will take 450,000 children out of poverty then they should have done it on day one, and all the shite we had last year about how ‘unaffordable’ it was to do this was clearly just fucking nonsense

I believe a thread dedicated to strongwomen will be appreciated
Katie Sandwina or Brumbach (1884 – 1952) was an Austrian American circus strongwoman.
In 1902 she defeated the famous strongman Eugen Sandow in a weightlifting contest in New York City.

It's worth noting this in the context of the "An assault on our ancient liberties" discourse around the plan to curtail jury trials. The UK justice system has always been anti-democratic and indulgent of the security state. Authoritarianism is built-in.

Everyday you wake up and the news is even worse, but don't worry because today there's going to be a budget today at some point, so there will be an extra round of bad news at around lunch time.

You will forget the morning's bad news.

Except the jury thing. Fucking hell, the jury thing.

Wild to hear journos on bbc4 saying that a minimum wage rise for young people will hurt the hospitality sector. Bitch if you give under 24s a few extra quid, they may well spend it in the pub. Pipe down.

FUCKSAKE
So the actual bar being discussed for juryless trials seems to be anything where the sentence is less than 5 years.

Anything less than 5 years would not require a jury and could be decided by a judge in a closed room.

Worth noting that 3 years is the top number for activists generally...

Telling an Eritrean that they are being “sent home” is basically a death threat. Some Eritreans deported back to Eritrea don’t even make it past the car park in the Asmara airport

so to justify making UK children hungry public opinion is suddenly oh so important but when it's about starvation of children in gaza big daddy government knows best is it?
Scrapping the two-child limit *is* welfare reform. Defining ‘reform’ solely as ‘cut’ is one reason why it’s proved so difficult
