A protest in the US - but now very relevant in the UK

I see the stasi… sorry I mean the police in London arrested this 89 year old terrorist yesterday. Thank goodness we could all sleep last night knowing we were safe from her. #PrimeMinister #KeirStarmer #YvetteCooper #Labour #LabourParty #UKLabour #Westminster #Stasi #Tories #Conservatives #SaorAlba

“Gross abuse of state power’: defiance grows over UK ban on Palestine protest group”

…no different to the late tory government

Targeted by the right, Britain’s asylum hotels are places of fear and disorder.

John Lorinc really could have gone much further in this article:

1. No engineer in their right mind would recommend a tunnel beneath the 401. This is obviously coming from MBA wielding C-Suite morons in "leadership" roles in the companies that, unsolicited, came up with this plan, and who are merely after gouging the taxpayer.

2. Missed opportunity to remind everyone that the 2025 Provincial election was not scheduled but a politically motivated snap-election in the interests of grabbing power while people were distracted by Trump.

3. "Peculiar psychology" assumes that this is a bug, not a feature of the plans. Projects like this are about transferring public money to private hands!

Remember, #DougFord &most #Conservatives only do things that profit them personally!

Just like how Ford indemnified private care facilities devastated by COVID because they had fmr Con Premier Mike Harris on the board, Aecon also has Con's on the Board: Rod Phillips.

The biggest problem for Starmer and co: the machinery of government is broken and they can’t fix it | Martin Kettle https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/aug/07/prisons-report-crisis-overcrowding-keir-starmer-labour-uk #Prisonsandprobation #UKcriminaljustice #ShabanaMahmood #Conservatives #RishiSunak #Politics #UKnews #Law

Labour group’s £9,500 ‘cash for access’ breakfasts

New faces, same old approach raising funding in our desperately unequal political system.

What with Reform accepting donations in Bitcoin (presumably to hide their origin) and Labour aping the Tories (one assumes they are not accepting Russian money at the moment - so maybe one difference), political funding in the UK is broken and needs reform.

The Kiwis elected a government that wants tourists to pay $40 so mining corporations can kill endangered and endemic wildlife. Sounds exactly like MAGA mussolini and Maple MAGA Alberta.

Sorry Kiwis no tourism dollars from me. I'd pay $40 if that money went into conservation, but not for this depraved deviancy.
