Humanist. I think shared values, recognition of shared humanity, and decent behaviour towards others are ultimately more important than beliefs or identity. We need to talk more.
I spend too much time keeping up with politics
Given that Hannan has made a career from being wrong about everything, I wonder how much credence we should give to his arguments on a Customs Union.

Jewish people in Australia barely dead from this disgusting attack when Netanyahu steps in to exploit it.

The tiny group of members of the House of Lords who are attempting to kill the assisted dying bill by filibuster are playing with fire.

How long do we have to put up with this crap? www.thetimes.com/article/900c...

How long before this stuff gets normalised? No, it is not ok.

Can’t get this @newhumanist.bsky.social piece on Afghan earthquake and impact in disasters of Taliban rules on women’s education and “no touch” rule for unrelated men (including rescuers). Shakeeba, trapped while hearing her children dying. Unimaginable.

Apart from the music, a lot was worse in 1975, including most people’s standard of living, human rights/equality, food. One thing which was significantly better was economic inequality - Thatcherite neo liberalism put paid to that.

Sudan's hell - esp for young women/girls - never makes it to top of the agenda. Yet we're kinda complicit through relations w UAE supporting Arab supremacist RSF. *Millions* displaced. theconversation.com/i-have-to-ta...

I don't believe this is made up. This is who Nigel Farage is:

Proscribing Palestine Action was a big mistake, esp when it was done. But this report makes clear, these people are fanatics prepared to use extreme violence. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Wonder if @telegraph.co.uk will be re-printing this authoritative academic view on BBC bias and the Prescott memo? @theconversation.com theconversation.com/bbc-bias-the...

Lovely morning for the Remembrance Ceremony at Richmond today, and a good crowd. Always a moving event.

Good that @theweek.com highlights this gross abuse by Trump. Only money counts.

Blatant foreign interference.

Fear, Trump’s weapon of choice. Seems it works…

@theweek.com reported this US poll. It seems that a quarter of adults in the world’s richest and most powerful country are apparently mad. Could the “end times are nigh” brigade be right? @humanists.uk

Yes, it‘s The Times, but can anyone put these (apparently daft) AHRC funding decisions into context? They look like a gift to the anti-woke brigade. www.thetimes.com/article/ba40...

Our country is under attack by the US Christian Right.

Trump and complex realities don’t go together. Seems his erratic tariff impulses are ruining the American automotive industry. Beneficiaries? Probably China?

Looks like the “AI is hitting new grad jobs, better be a plumber” narrative isn’t right (though prob not a bad idea to become a plumber).

Having said that, the “Kings Army” website makes entertaining reading - military metaphor on steroids. thekingsarmy.com

Violence a red line in UK society - Jewish friends/communities must be able to live/practise w/out fear. British Jews not responsible for actions of IDF.
Yet @chiefrabbi.bsky.social blurs distinction. Fuel for anti-Semites. Daft. www.jewishnews.co.uk/mirvis-if-yo...
