Why are all the techbros fascists? Was it their latent and inherent psychopathic and bigoted tendencies that led them to the top of the technological corporate ladder? Or did they become outwardly fascist because of the [in]discriminate power they gained by accruing obscene wealth and influence?
“Palantir cofounder and CEO Alex Karp states ‘AI will undermine the influence of highly educated, often female voters and give it to working class men. We have feminine energy running our cities and our courts,’ he complained.”

Britons should use money we haven't got to buy food the country doesn't grow, store it in homes that don't exist, in spare rooms that got taxed away, so we can survive when reservoirs nobody built run dry because of a climate the govt won't protect. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Why isn't the Labour government stockpiling? Or giving people £100 each towards buying three-days' worth of supplies? They're telling us when it comes to the climate crisis: "This is serious! But it doesn't apply to us..."
More attempts to encourage the UK public to stockpile food and water for three days.
The problem with propaganda is that it works, e.g. we now have the Jewish leader of a political party being accused of being an antisemite! And some people believe what they hear. The simpler the message, the more effective it is. It's easy to debunk LEAVE EU now, but it was as easy in 2016, too!
Take a moment to remember what we promised Brexit would deliver: a well-funded NHS, less immigration, more jobs, flourishing businesses with no red tape, easy to get on the housing ladder, boom time for farming, fishing and steel industries... I do hope you're enjoying it.

Are these wealth creators the same ones that ‘create’ wealth at everyone else’s expense and then move that wealth offshore or are they the ones that are already living abroad and using the UK as a cash cow ? None of it benefits the UK or the people. It just benefits politicians and their ‘donors’

As a GPEW member of 12 years, I've always been proud that the party is democratic; policies are decided by members; and this is via a one-member, one-vote system. We must adhere to the will of the membership, but if unhappy with any policy to submit a motion for change. Ramsey never got that memo...
What do you expect when the social contract has been slowly eroded since 1979 and now lies in tatters?! The state has bled dry and impoverished successive generations, so why should they fight for no jobs, no homes, no money, no future?
What UK? It's all in the hands of foreign, mostly US, billionaires.

Okay, the ONLY WAY out of this mess is with a CITIZENS' ASSEMBLY; to--once and for all-- decide what's anti-Jewish; what's anti-Zionism; what's anti-Israel; what's terrorism and what's not. And what's legal--and acceptable--non-violent protest or not. This whole manufactured situation is ridiculous!

The only situation that allows this to make any sense is "state capture". The UK has been told what to do by Trump, who's been told what to do by Netanyahu via Jared Kushner... Starmer was a shill and Yvette Cooper was his patsy.
What a mockery this makes of the governments proscription of a campaign group. Authors not allowed to sell their books, singers not allowed to speak and pensioners arrested for holding cardboard signs! Our free speech rights are being eroded, and for what? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
I believe successive British governments DID NOT decline to look closely at what was going; BUT they were afraid others WOULD look closely and that theY would be found complicit and corruptly 'on the make'.
Brexit and Russia… “I think you would have to start with Boris Johnson. “The reason why there is still this confusion is there was no public attempt to establish with confidence what actually happened because successive British governments declined to look closely at what was going on.” (Times)
Out this Tuesday [20th], Weber argues that fossil fuel dependency fans the flames of fascism: “Keeping essentials tethered to fossil fuels [leaves] ordinary people exposed to the price volatility of oil and gas that generates the economic insecurity on which authoritarian politics feeds.” 1/2
Economics can either enable the slide toward fascism, or defend affordability, dignity, and democracy. I wrote ANTI-FASCIST ECONOMICS with my baby by my side—a constant reminder that the future should be livable for all. Out in October with Random House.

So you can buy Mein Kampf in UK but not Sally Rooney? What a bunch of complete arseholes in Gov in UK.
Sally Rooney’s stand on Palestine is brave and humane, writes Zoe Williams The Normal People author’s determination to support Palestine Action, even if it means that her books are withdrawn from sale in the UK, makes a mockery of Britain’s terrorism laws. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/o...
Yes, and that includes nuclear weapons; our nuclear arsenal and systems being contolled by the USA, etcetera... France had the right idea, and the EU is offloading US tech companies like Microsoft et al.
Ukraine's drones made inoperable by restrictions on the speed permitted by SpaceX's Starlink network. Musk blames Trump. Any country relying the US or foreign tech companies will be held to ransom, can't defend itself. Need own satellites and systems to fight new imperialism.
Zionism is Racism. QED. Always has been; always will be. Don't take my word for it; let Owen Jones spell it out for you!
Yes, it’s been a tough week for the Greens: but don’t lose sight of how we’re transforming British politics Zack Polanski www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
What we need @zackpolanski.bsky.social is an intra-party "citizens' assembly" to decide policy going forward... Top-down policy-making that bypasses one-member, one-vote, leads to donor influence, stuffed brown envelopes, corporate lobbying, etc. The decision-making must remain informed & anonymous.
According to this Article, 82% of Britons Who Oppose Israel’s Actions in Gaza Say They Amount to Genocide. Just to be clear, that's 82% of the 55% who opposed Israel's campaign in Gaza.
70% of the UK is anti-Israel. The Green Party is the only anti-Israel party.
This guy's an idiot! He says: "As with Extinction Rebellion, it’s more comfortable to call them extremists and ignore what they say." XR *said* "Net zero by 2025 or the climate will descend into chaos - 2050 is too late!" And here we are in 2026 and the climate has descended into chaos...
I think we're getting into the realms of fantasy here. The right-wing press gave the Greens under Polanski more coverage in order to split the left? Give over. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

just flat out lying.
“The Greens are more extreme than mainstream Palestinian opinion - they’re saying violence is now legitimate.” The Green Party's ‘Zionism is Racism’ motion calls for “the eradication of the Israeli state”, says Jonathan Freedland. “And they’re happy to see that achieved by violence”.
So, a bunch of pacifists are now the violent ones? Freedland is an unqualified idiot and genocide apologist for an apartheid state. His skeleton is like Blackpool rock with the Israeli flag running all the way through the marrow.

Zionism is racism. QED.
I attended the Green Party conference plenary session online this morning. Caroline Lucas, Ellie Chowns and Carla Denyer [in absentia] were against the motion: 'Zionism is racism". I feel the result will be in favour, but we shan't know until the beginning of the next plenary session at 2:45pm.
Whether you agree or not with genocide, it isn't a popularity contest! We do the right thing according to our conscience, in the right time & for the right reason. We stand on the right side of history and we call out a racist, dehumanising, brutalising, murderous, apartheid regime where we see one.
The "Zionism is racism" motion, to be debated at the Green Party conference tomorrow, will not advance the Palestinian cause one inch. But, if adopted, it would marginalise and discredit the party. There are powerful ways to confront the genocide. Toxic gesture politics isn't one of them.
This is a such ridiculous thing for Freedland to say! Such self-importance, and such self-victimisation, as to be off the scale. I'm a GPEW member and we're not "telling Jews what to think" - they're not *that* special. But we are telling *everyone* what WE think.
Jonathan Freeland there, trying to tell all Jewish folk what to think. Oh sorry, that’s Polanski, apparently……. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
