It's that simple

The government won’t achieve ‘decency’ over ‘division’ by trying to be Reform Lite and please remember this - the ECHR is much more than a treaty. It’s a quiet promise - a shield against abuse of power, a lifeline for the vulnerable, a declaration of who we are as a nation

Talking of Jean Marias, he plays dual roles in this 1964 film based on the fictional character created by Marcel Allain & Pierre Souvestre. Imagine Batman as a villain mixed with James Bond with Inspector Clouseau thrown in as one of his adversaries & this is the result youtu.be/BzwGA7FrLuA?...

Truffuats most successful film, based partly on his Father & Uncles time in the French resistance & partly on Jean Marais's autobiography. It won 10 out of 12 nominations at the 6th Ceasar Awards. youtu.be/ZoOwtGjD6oc?...

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million In New York - population 8.5 million - there were 391. London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago. And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

We’re not alone: the whole developed world is mired in stagnation and high debt. But our borrowing costs are highest because our system cracked first and – though few people want to think about it – we are a multinational state ✏️ @paulmason.bsky.social

Performative cruelty once again. By Labour. Support for people seeking asylum is already heavily restricted. Most are not allowed to work, but for those who can support themselves they are already pretty much expected to. 1/ www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

A US citizen filmed federal agents smashing his car window, as authorities begin a surge of immigration enforcement operations in North Carolina. The Honduran-born Charlotte resident filed a police report after the officers let him go.

Israeli air raids have taken place in southern Gaza as well as Gaza City.

Palestinian authorities say shadowy companies and entities are working in line with Israel on human trafficking.

I'm in favour of remembering the ALL the victims of war, but a remembrance ritual filled with generals, politicians, military uniforms and Union flags is not paying tribute to the victims who were sacrificed needlessly by the ruling class, its a call for more war and more victims. #socialistsunday

What Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves & Wes Streeting don't want you to know so they can get away with more privatisation so greedy billionaires get even richer and poor people who can't afford healthcare die younger #SocialistSunday

BREAKING: protesters attacked, one man dies, at Palestine Action prison demo...

Labour rocked as two Southwark councillors quit over Starmer’s crackdown on dissent...

Join us for our first ever Declassified UK summit! This special event will bring together journalists, campaigners & supporters to examine the system that drives Britain's war machine. Date: Saturday, 31 January 2026 Venue: EartH, 11-17 Stoke Newington Rd, London N16 8BH Tickets in link below.

English councils plan to sell off social clubs and sports centres to balance books. Social spaces lost forever. Libraries, community centres, school playgrounds, parks closed/sold as council funding cut in real terms to appease the rich. Social vandalism.

PLEASE read this thread. I remember seeing the headlines about the Trocadero and thinking it all seemed a bit dog-whistle Islamophobic... and it transpires my suspicions were bloody correct.

The “magic money tree” exists: it’s in the City of London with the billionaires. What’s missing isn’t money, it’s political will. Establishment parties bankrolled by billionaires aren’t going to tax their donors. We are not going to take this anymore.

The Colour Out Of Space is one of Lovecraft's best tales so it's not surprising it's been filmed twice. The 2020s gave us Nick Cage in a definitive & very good faithful version but, here's the 1st attempt & one of Karloff's better later films youtu.be/RbWbc73-R8c?...

There's always been comedy car chases but this is sadly a bit animic part. as it followed The Blues Brothers, still we get Chan's US debut but, he's largely wasted, still Moore is great spoofing himself. Successful enough for a sequel youtu.be/s8BNVDUslcE?...

Inbetween the ESP horror Patrick & the surreal sublime Harlequin Ozploitation gave us a modern update of the Vampire mythos youtu.be/ghpdFaxH1dg?...

An excellent, as always, article from the excellent Zack Polanski. "This is our moment to prove that climate action is key to freedom from poverty, pollution, and fear. The future is still ours to write, but only if we act now." bestforbritain.substack.com/p/cop30-must...

John Colliers Magnus Opus, just don't get the abridged 37 story reissue that omits Cancel All I said which only appears in the original 50 stories release although i think the 2014 release went back to the 50 stories version.

It's not just ambition on climate action that's being run down, but nature. Planet Earth is in the fight of its life and, on balance, those of us who are its allies are losing. It's our duty to work out why, and act on it. share.google/N0QU31GX4Znw...

'Reform UK Ltd gets 92% of its funding from climate change deniers and fossil fuel corporate interests'

The best, succinct, and simplest statement about right and left politics. The right start with fear the Zack Polanski starts with hope, facts, and science. Every Reform supporter should watch this short, Zack makes it clear and simple. youtube.com/shorts/LQZom...

With judges silencing peaceful protesters in court and imposing harsh sentences for dissent, maybe this Banksy hit a bit too close to home. So we put it on a t-shirt to make sure it's everywhere 👀 https://goodlawproject.org/product/banksy-royal-courts-of-justice-mural-t-shirt-double-sided

It's real, and it's mind-blowing. A complete lack of awareness and a national embarrassment.

"Children have vanished while collecting firewood, returning home, or attempting to reunite with family, often after Israeli attacks forced displacement. Families have found personal belongings left behind, yet receive no information from Israel about their children's whereabouts." via Fatima Ftouni

“The Home Office plan will also include already-mooted ideas to change the way the European convention on human rights (ECHR) is interpreted by UK judges so as to make it easier to remove people without lengthy court cases.” Less than 40 cases since the 80s. Less than 30 won. Labour are corrupt.

A final one for #BookWormSat which I just had to repost. The debut of the Cottingley Fairies as presented to the world by Arthur Conan Doyle in the December 1920 edition of The Strand. The editor calls two girls being clever with scissors and a camera 'An Epoch-Making Event'. So glad I own this!
