Only one half of that sentence is true ...
Consider: why is America, a country in North America, attacking Iran on the other side of the world? What right does the US have to bomb and attempt to destroy any country, anywhere on Earth? It has no right to do so. It’s doing it because it is governed by criminals.

The Cartier-Bresson of gig photography strikes again. Tonight's indecisive moments come from the excellent Samantha Crain show at the Union Chapel. Viewers, it was emotional.
Supercool women’s music site @thefortyfive.bsky.social asked me to write about the women in punk who influenced me the most - and I did!
Enjoy, comment, share!

Negotiations are ongoing :)

Virginia Giuffre’s ‘invisible ghostwriter’ on the Epstein survivor’s legacy: ‘She wanted to name all of them. They deserve to be named’
I couldn't resist buying the Spectator for these two columns. Pure comedy gold. View it as a public service.
They should pay for each other – that's how a healthy society works!
Happy birthday to Betty Boo. Here's a reminder of the time she rapped with Public Enemy in the McDonalds at Shepherd's Bush back in 1987 (look out for the unimpressed manager!)
It will take more than one post to list all the ways in which the right have no media literacy whatsoever. They love the noise & sound films & TV make without understanding what any of it means. So anyway, let's go through some of the clips they used in support of their illegal and immoral war. 1/7
They know that many people in the US will accept the killing of civilians overseas but will draw the line at high gas prices.
🇪🇦 PM Sánchez reminds us that the 2003 invasion not only destroyed Iraq, it unleashed a wave of terrorism, drove up energy prices and altered the global balance of power in ways no one could control.
He says an attack on Iran carries the same fog of uncertainty, triggering a new round of disorder.
“It is naive to think that practising blind and servile obedience is a form of leadership.
We will not be complicit in something that is bad for the world and that is also contrary to our values and interests, simply out of fear of reprisals from someone.”
"That’s the thing about normal people: we talk to each other, depend on one another, forge bonds, fall in love and make babies with people from different cultures to our own. The forced deportation half Reform voters support would cause absolute devastation, tearing apart families and communities."
Morning all.

Westminster Meeting House raided by Metropolitan Police again. Statement: “For Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life. Whilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent. That this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.” – Oliver Robertson, Head of Witness and Worship Quakers in Britain, 5 March 2026
Yesterday evening, for the second time in a year, the Met Police raided Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists.

New Scientist knows the score ...
Only got the headline but maybe Rifkind can talk us through whether the Left or the Right was correct about Afghanistan (2001), Iraq (2003) interference in Libya (2011).
What actually terrifies voters is paying for a war to protect Israel and the USA from their own War Crimes.
All so British troops and civilians can get blown up.
We just spent 2 decades doing that, fuck off.
I'm reminded of the BBC summarizing the 2019 general election as "Labour lost the working class but won the woke" (verbatim quote), and then also seeing polls showing that every working-age demographic voted majority Labour. However, when there's 11 billion pensioners, and 10.999 billion vote Tory,
Quite an opening paragraph.
Pro war, anti immigration.
Pro cause, anti effect.
Actual idiots.
there are like 50 people in the country who want the UK to get involved in the Iran War, one of them is Kemi Badenoch, one of them is Nigel Farage, and the other 48 are newspaper columnists
