My name is Ian, I’m a Brit, so I assume I’m the demographic referred to here. I’ve no idea what the negotiation mentioned is about but I do sense I’m losing, along with everyone else that isn’t a robber baron

Hmmm, not looking good in my neck of the woods ….

AJ Bell replied promptly, see photo, sorry it’s so tiny. I guess this is the standard position of many organisations. @stopfundinghate.bsky.social what response?

Ian Callaghan @iancallaghan.net · 1d

This is quite long but worth the watch. Look out for what @mothinali.bsky.social has to say about class

Loved this short film by @owenjones.bsky.social.

My biggest takeaway is how much talent there is in @greenparty.org.uk Brilliant, kind, smart, articulate people making change.

Absolutely time to harness that energy and scale us up massively.

Let's do this! 💚

Hmmm, it didn’t appear for me. Maybe you have to enter an exact sequence of letters etc. can you copy your entry?

A possible 5? This is what you risk happening if, as is routinely and deliberately done, you conflate criticism of the actions of the state of Israel with antisemitism

Hmmm. I think this is giving the prime villains — Tory ministers — a free ride. Campaign for this <after> they’ve been held to account too, or the story will end with her as a scapegoat

Every single country, not just the U.S., but ALL engaging with genocidal Israeli terrorist entity in trade, economics, & otherwise, instead of exiling them, are facilitating the holocaust of Palestine & enabling the halt on food & meds from reaching dying Gazans.

No such omen attended me, I’m afraid, just a random anniversary of Pearl Harbour …

If this relates to Michelle Mone, yes, she’s an expendable one and I bet the actual ministers involved get away scot-free. (And BTW, greetings, fellow-nearing 68-er!)

What will they do though, when it comes down to it and they are given illegal orders? If the example of the US Congress is anything to go by: nothing

To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again”

Hmm, took me a few looks to confirm that’s a baguette and not a chainsaw sticking out of the real one’s bag …
