"As Nelson Mandela said, the cause of the ICC is the cause of humanity. This is why we are resilient, this is why we need not only to stand together as judges, but the entire international community needs to do that, because as such we are working for peace and global security."

Why should young people participate in an economy that offers them no hope for the future?
The inter-generational bargain that kept British capitalism afloat has collapsed - and Labour is too busy listening to corporate lobbyists to do anything about it.

Nelson Mandela died 12 years ago. In 1995 the UK government rejected his personal appeal to impose oil sanctions on Nigeria after its military regime executed nine environmental activists — as it wanted to protect oil company Shell’s commercial interests.

The UK government is intensely relaxed about the ongoing imprisonment of Imran Khan by Pakistan, its military ally.
By contrast, the UK issued numerous media releases demanding the release of Alexei Navalny in Russia.

Most households subject to the two-child limit already have at least one adult in work.
Of the minority of households that are not in work, more than nine-in-ten have a child under three or a disabled family member with additional care needs, making any return to the labour market challenging.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”
“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath
Some costs aren’t costs.

If you're concerned about the erosion of anti racist norms and the rise of the far right, you have to factor in two solid years of bipartisan British complicity in this genocide. What do you think our government's role in this racist bloodbath tells us about the state of our political culture?
Analysts told me that they agree with @amnesty.org in that Israel's genocide in Gaza is not over.
The mass killing has slowed but the conditions for life & society have been destroyed and are not being allowed to be rebuilt.
