Assisted dying - a tool for oppression

Of course it can be which is why we need safeguards. But in reality these religious morons want to take control of others lives. This is just a smokescreen. As someone directly concerned with an about the freedom of people to determine their own path and with someone dying painfully from an untreatable illness I bitterly resent and can say I HATE the fekkers attitude.

"It is unacceptable, counterproductive, and deeply concerning that two British MPs on a parliamentary delegation to #Israel have been detained and refused entry by the Israeli authorities."

This is everything that's wrong with UK political discourse. Local elections should be about LOCAL issues - who's going to repair the potholes, get the bins collected on time, and deliver the best social care for vulnerable people.

It should absolutely NOT be in any way related to what's happening in the bloody White House, and our political parties deserve everything they get if they conflate these issues.

Starmer has a knack for throwing together a lot of words without saying anything at all.

When the central perception is that politicians are slippery, he does his very best eel impression.

The populists couldn't wish for better.

Its remarkable how the most extreme capitalists want to set up "independent cities" (whatever bullshit name they give them) that exist outside of regular laws and government and are run by private companies with private police forces.

Its almost as if these same people's devotion to voting, democracy and public oversight was fake all along because what they actually want is slaves and dictatorships.

We cannot afford to indulge them.

The US Tariffs may have an adverse impact on EU and UK access to capital.

US companies are asking Chinese suppliers to cover the tariff.

Not sure that's going to work

I love when the algorithm does this....

Just glad we still have Labour MPs who are decent enough to be banned by the Netanyahu regime, badge of honour.

When the fart-huffing anti-economic nonsense of Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng collided with reality in their short-lived “budget” of 2022, the results were at once laughable, pitiable, and politically terminal for them.

This TariffsGPT project feels to me like an equivalent moment for Trump and his couch-fort companions, who have spent the past 5 years complimenting one another on the volume and fragrance of their botty burps, only now to find out how little the rest of the world appreciates their stank.

This really is a landmark poll.

Independence for #Wales is now a realistic prospect.

Slow Coach might finally be getting the hint about Brexit, the EU and how the US is not well right now.

Macron leaning over to a distraught Starmer and consoling him over the difficult news that the US is not our friend.
You would hope the son of a toolmaker would be more open to knocking all that brexit nonsense on the head, wouldn't you?

People ask, "What can be done?"

Become aware & act:

The Palestinians are indigenous to Palestine.

The British empire gave most of Palestine to Zionists from Europe to colonise. Out of racism, the British didn't consult the Palestinians.

Now that the US is greenlighting the final ethnic cleansing of Gaza & the West Bank, & Europe is helping, the only thing that can save the Palestinians is mass protests & strikes across the world.
