Socialist Worker meets the Irish Democrat, London c.1975. Another scene features erudite discussion on the relative merits of Johan Cruyff and Georgie Best. Would love to see this film

Starmer's Labour government deems it in the UK's national interest to have Israeli arms firms build weapons for the genocide in the UK and arrest thousands of pensioners in solidarity with Palestine Action under terrorism law, so unfortunately Teuta and 7 other kids have to die.

Heard today that people hire photographers to take a picture of their wedding proposals. Saw one such picture, it's just weird...... Plus does the photographer hide, or what do they do. All seems so odd.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

As archaeologists we can often feel detached from contemporary politics and powerless to act when we see wrongdoing but we are not and we should not sit back. Here are some clear steps that can be taken to try to halt the theft of Sebastia.

We will have about 13,000 in 2025. About half will be allowed stay. I don't think 6,500 extra people in a population of 5 million is a threat to "social cohesion". Not being able to afford a home or to see a doctor or not having to wait 3 years for my kid's needs to be assessed is.

I've been off social media a lot, for me, this afternoon, but catching up and what the actual fuck is wrong with some people. You can absolutely condemn the Israeli government for its genocide in Gaza. If you use that in any way shape or form to minimise the attack in Sydney you need serious help.

I have posted this before but it bears repeating. This film made by French leftists in Derry in 1969-72 is really astonishing. Seeing the early days of the insurrection against British forces filmed documentary style rather than by TV news journos makes a huge difference.

The same week in which the Nitrates Derogation was pushed through. This Government doesn't care for nature and climate, and is incapable of making things better. The majority of public won't notice the impact, until its too late. We need everyone angry about this now.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!
