“You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin
To complement geographical constituencies, we need a chamber representing specialist, non-geographical, member-based constituencies such as trade unions, faith groups, political parties, the National Trust, Amnesty, pressure groups of all kinds, [allowing 1 delegate per 100,000 members].

Today I took a bus journey that crossed an administrative county boundary via a unitary authority. Border control was non-existent.

Likewise, there is no proof Adolph Hitler personally premeditated and instigated the 'Final Solution’ despite warning in 1933: “Every bullet that is now fired from the barrel of a German pistol is my bullet. If that is called murder, then I have committed murder, for I have ordered it all.”

I have always been an Atheist. As a toddler I equated belief in 'God' with that equally foolish, if well intentioned nonsense, Father Christmas. Rather than find myself I was never lost.

The silver lining: assuming Putin and Trump fail in their machinations, this could offer humanity a window of opportunity, not seen since 1945, to demand and expect a restored 'global rules based order' built on democracy not the non-ethics of mutually assured destruction?

I live in a taxpayer-funded, self-managed housing co-op [pre-Thatcher]. The challenge is to maintain our properties to the highest possible standard for the lowest possible rent. For our competitors [i.e. not other co-ops] the concern is to maximise profit in return for the lowest possible service.

For the same reason there was incompetence handling Covid19, indifference over the fate of Palestinians, antipathy towards green economics, contempt for 'woke', transpeople and all the rest ... they want us gone, deleted through neglect and replaced by automation and AI.

There's always a quote ... this is from Arendt's book "The Origins of Totalitarianism".

'Re: Colonised Planet 5, Shikasta' by Doris Lessing.

The twist is Emissary Johor, the main protagonist, is a cypher for the reader themselves. Once you get that, it all makes sense.

I'm guessing the authorised response is as follows:

'When Israel no longer require arms we'll recognise Palestine, assuming there's a Palestine left to save', then again one can but hope that they still have a shred of integrity worth saving?

First Putin violated Ukraine because it wasn't Russian enough, then Netanyahu violated Gaza because it wasn't Israeli enough and now, not to be outdone, Trump invades Blue America because it isn't Red enough?
