Tory Party remains nasty. Ad hominen attacks accusing Labour of 'raising taxes to pay for benefits street' - how dare they.

BBC's Chris Mason refers to those asked to pay more as *relatively* rich - a £2M+ mansion makes you rich. FULL STOP.

shame 'environment' is far down the concerns (yet @greenparty.org.uk is soaring in the polls) and telling that 'defence' is pretty low, too, despite the warmongering.

Mainstream media have too much power in deciding what should matter to people. It should not be in the hands of multibillionaires.

*Humanism and Democratic Criticism* (2004) remains essential to academics who wish to understand:

>>> what they are doing, what they are committed to as scholars, [and who] want also to connect these principles to the world in which they live as citizens <<<(Edward Said p. 6)

*chapter*

until that gets soiled

3 take-homes:

1. never stop speaking truth to power - speak passionately about truth

2. define your terms - be unequivocal eg. zionism means nothing to most people but 'jewish supremacy' does, like white/gender supremacy

3. depression is reality stripped of illusions
