Green. We must remain human in an age of monsters.
Stop climate change. Stop hate. Stop killing children. Stop fascism. End inequality.
Why are journalists still not allowed in despite the "ceasefire"?

I'll start caring about facts when you start giving some. All I see so far is a long list of claims and bluster.

And allowing a small number of hand-picked journalists to enter for a very short amount of time to enter alongside a mishmash of web celebs and lifestyle correspondents is not the same as allowing normal press reporting.

What lie have I told? I linked an article describing an Israeli supreme court case which confirmed what I was saying. Are you accusing the Israeli supreme court of lying?
November 29, 2025 at 1:32 PM
And are you claiming that every single one of the thirty or so hospitals in Gaza was a hotbed of armed Hamas fighters? Do you think we were born yesterday?
November 29, 2025 at 1:26 PM
"No need for reporters" is the line of people are who trying to silence the truth. Yes - some info has come out from cell phones - despite the best efforts of Israel to stop that by cutting every source of power.

Can you tell me why every single hospital in Gaza was bombed, Michelle?

Incorrect. By that logic, we should also arrest and jail anyone who attempts to support the police, deny them bail, and hold them in prison under restrictive conditions.

Just abolishing the police wouldn't be nearly enough to stop the terrorism of police supporters.

Calling everything you don't like a fantasy is a shit tactic. We see right through Trump when he calls things "fake news" and we see right through you, Michelle.

If you want to claim to be serious, you need evidence, not empty bluster.

Pity we can't watch many scenes from Gaza, because you guys banned all the journalists.

Banning journalists is not a good look.

Many are racist, but don't think of themselves as such (the "I'm not racist, but..." crowd). So rubbing their faces in their cognitive dissonance has value.

In early Christian times, people like Badenoch would be in the stands, cheering for the lions.

He simply adapted the teachings of an obscure Jewish preacher (Jesus) to be acceptable to the wider Roman Empire. The result was called Christianity.

Since Romans were wealthier than Jews, the original anti-wealth messaging needed to be softened.

Back in the 90s, Sunshot was one of the best live bands in the UK, creating a wall of emotion you could completely lose yourself within. But they could never fully translate the live sound to vinyl and so remained obscure:

So does he classify India as a first world country now? Because his Tech Bro pals aren't going to be happy if he stops Indian software engineers moving to the US.

Haven't really followed him, but some of his views make no sense. He talked about "safe third spaces" for trans people. Except as they are only 0.5% of the population, that's never going to be practical. So the net effect is that he makes them unwelcome in both M & F spaces with nowhere to go.

Mostly when I see anti-Semitism nowadays, it's of the "George Soros is funding everything I don't like" variety.
November 28, 2025 at 5:05 AM
Sinking? You have a very active imagination because that's not remotely what recent polls have been saying.

Either that or you're just plain lying. But that wouldn't be out of character for Starmer's Labour, would it?

Not a good comparison. Norway has less than a tenth of our population, so their oil wealth per capita was much higher.
November 28, 2025 at 4:45 AM
So what? Is Nigel saying that racism is OK as long as it's ambient racism rather than personally directed?

What a ridiculous defence. There is no such thing as acceptable racism.

Mostly good article apart from final paragraph. Elon Musk didn't buy Twitter to make money. His entire purpose is controlling political debate.
