“True Christianity is represented by the party, and the German people are now called by the party and especially by the Fuehrer to a real Christianity…The Fuehrer is the herald of a new revelation.” - Nazi politician Hans Kerrl, quoted in Shirer, William. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, 392.

Labour will name towns after protestors while jailing them and nurses while underpaying them

Everything we need to do to stop climate breakdown, we also need to do for national security. Energy saving, more renewables, more electricity storage and interconnectors, electrification of transport, heating, cooking and industrial processes, plant-based diets. We win on all fronts.

I just watched Predator Badlands (which is very good btw) and I just realised something I should probably have realised years ago about the Weyland corporation from the Alien and later Predator franchises.

Some good news! I’m curating / introducing a #PreCode double bill of Scarface (1932) and Female (1933) at the Chiswick Cinema on April 8th. All shares appreciated. Tell your friends! Etc. #PreCodeApril

Happy birthday to everyone’s favourite German, Bruce Willis, who turns 71 today. When I interviewed (Hudson Hawk co-creator) Robert Kraft for this book in 2024, he’d just got home from Bruce’s house, where they’d watched a double bill of Dr. No and - you guessed it - Hudson Hawk.

Two thinkers with chef’s knife-sharp minds, Professor Chris Hedges and @yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social, discuss the impending – correction: unfolding – economic crisis triggered by the U.S.-Israel war on Iran. (Also available as a podcast: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...)

Trump on Starmer: "He says, 'Well, I'd like to ask my team.' I said, 'You don't have to worry about a team. You're the prime minister. You can make a decision. You don't have to speak to anybody.' So it's very disappointing."

republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say

The replies to this are magnificent.

Tried to watch the peerless Homicide: Life on the Street on NOW TV but they’ve zoomed it (because 4:3 I guess) and my TV can’t accommodate their fuckery. So I’ll have to stick with my DVDs which don’t have subtitles but also don’t look like shit. (Also there’s director commentary on the pilot.)

Hmm, well. It is IMO true that the driving factor in Labour politics for years has been the factional shitehousing, viciousness and open hate of its ruling right wing faction. On the other hand, they couldn’t have tied themselves more tightly to the most crackpot Israel wingnuts.

Why do supposedly liberal governments do so much of the really evil stuff? NAFTA/crime bill under Clinton, Blair’s Iraq war, Obama’s bank bailouts and drone strikes, the Biden-backed genocide… and now “Labour” genocidaires coming for jury trials. Is it 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙮 𝙞𝙣 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨?

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

This is from 1975.

‘In memory of all the Palestinians massacred by Israel with the complicity of Keir Starmer’s Labour’ Coming soon to a bench near you

Over 1000 civilians dead, and we're letting Trump use UK bases to further his war. Britain should stand firm against Trump's illegal warmongering, and stop these bombers landing on UK soil.

What exactly are the UK laws that govern the US use of its bases in the UK? This is not clear. The MoD says “classified agreements” apply in some areas “reflecting the sensitive nature of specific operational activities conducted at these facilities”. www.declassifieduk.org/we-deserve-t...
