Back from lunch with wife. HR let her and team leave early due to "Free Palestine" strike transport issues. If unions and "human rights" grps did this monthly for housing or wages, we'd have socialism by now. Israel has destroyed Gaza, and antisemitism has destroyed the European left

fantastic review. worth adding that Sharabi comes from a Yeminite - Moroccan family. Typical white colonial settler stock

On Monday, as the last living hostages were released, I read Eli Sharabi's agonising memoir about captivity under Hamas and losing his wife and daughters

Fortunately the antizionist and from the river ppl never stopped shouting over the last 2 years about the 3rd country nationals (thais and nepalis mainly) and Arab Israelis murdered and kidnapped by Hamas 🙄

1 of 4 bodies returned by Hamas this AM was a Palestinian man they dressed in an IDF uniform. Already a violation of ceasefire for not returning all bodies. 1/3

More hosannas to Powell in the NS. And ofc a reference to the GFA negotiations which he led for the UK, as if the NI conflict had the slightest similarity to the IP one and in which the UK govt had overwhelming military force. This is exceptionalist trash

the PP goes full falangist on immigration or, if you prefer, full UK Labour: B2 Spanish and adherence to the universal inheritance of Spanish values, whatever they are

Feijóo y la xenofobia, pero dentro de un orden. El PP ya tiene un plan para poner obstáculos a la inmigración y Abascal está encantado con que Feijóo le haya copiado. Es lo que pasa cuando quieres ser tan ultra como los ultras. www.eldiario.es/politica/fei...

Colin Murray @colinmurray.bsky.social · 16h

The UK Govt isn't a huge fan of Gerry Adams. Fine. But hundreds of people, including him, were locked up without trial in NI and one of the v few safeguards, Secretary of State permission, was not fulfilled. The UK, too often, cannot cope with its own wrongdoing:

it's beyond insane Trump appears to think Milei is running for reelection

1

Éamann Mac Donnchada @almagroschool.bsky.social · 17h

if Milei doubles his number of Senators he'll have 14 out of 72, if he doubles the number of deputies he'll have 75 out of 257 And neither of those will happen, The "winner" will be decided by percentage of the vote and who spins their best

2

Éamann Mac Donnchada @almagroschool.bsky.social · 17h

This is insane, Trump conditions support for Milei on him winning the mid terms on the 26th. But there's no winning or losing as such, half the deputy seats and a third of the senate one are up for grabs. You can do well or badly but you can't win.
