@StevenJMethven Cuba is bigger than the island of Ireland - larger by surface area and population. It’s not tiny. But I take your point.

Where’s Ireland with fuel for Cuba? No, let’s criticise a band going to draw international attention to US economic warfare because they failed to focus on oppressor talking points. A tiny island didn’t get everything right under imperial control, so fuck ‘em? Heard it before

Interesting article by an Irish journalist who recently visited Cuba. I like Kneecap, admire their advocacy for Irish unity and the Irish language. I publicly supported them when they faced ridiculous terrorism charges. Loved the movie. But their decision not to speak up for human rights or democracy while in Cuba, even for artists censored and imprisoned there, was a lost opportunity to speak truth to power and do some good

@ZacGoldsmith See also the execrable David Miller. It’s Mossad don’t ya know!

He won’t apologise. He will evolve his theory. These 3 men were hypnotised by Jews. Or tricked. Whatever the evidence, blame must always belong to the Jews
Chris Rose@ArchRose90
It is time for apologies @CraigMurrayOrg but from you.

After spending days spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories about the Hatzola arson implying it was an Israeli false flag, virulent antisemite and Hezbollah cheerleader @PhilipProudfoot has decided to stop commenting on the issue following the naming of the suspects.

@BenJamalpsc The conclusion I draw is that the judge felt nothing but embarrassment for your infantile cos playing.

Its been a busy couple of days dealing with the aftermath of the verdicts against Chris Nineham and me. First of all a huge thankyou to the mass of people who have been in touch to share love and solidarity and their sense of outrage at the judgement. Some reflections:
English
@PulaRJS One of them was called Iqbal you utter foaming-at-the-mouth antisemitic imbecile. Delete the tweet and apologise to the Jewish community.
English
3 days now since 2 men were arrested for the Golders Green ambulance attack - 2 days since they were released on bail. Media silence is deafening.
I think we can be pretty sure if they were called Mohamed and Iqbal their names would have been leaked by now.
Moshe Schwartz@YWNReporter
🚨🚨 BREAKING: Multiple Hatzolah ambulances have erupted in flames in London's Golders Green neighborhood. There is no immediate word on the cause, but antisemitic arson is the immediate suspicion.

@InvisibleJim1 @StevenJMethven I’d be more worried about military coups.

@StevenJMethven Guaranteed to be some on base shootings as a result of this

I’m sure no one needs to learn that allowing military personnel to carry personal weapons on domestic bases while sacking inconvenient senior military officers tends, historically, to mean exactly one thing

Something people don't talk about so much these days is that in post-WW2 America, people took Freudian psychoanalysis very seriously for some reason.

The Bondi firing will get all the attention but what Hegseth is doing with the upper echelons of the military is much more dangerous over time than Bondi’s tenure as AG. And it won’t get 1% of the coverage. Someday it will get a lot of coverage, and those will be dark days.

Journal of Art in Society@artinsociety
In a turbulent world, take this opportunity to wallow pleasantly in nostalgia, as workaday people line up under the glow of a streetlight at their cosily-lit fish and chip shop. Artist Chris May did this painting in 2025 but it vividly evokes a Britain of the 1950s

@Mike_Amanpene I agree but I think you’ll find it harder to convince Diane Abbott.

Having grown up in south London, I can give you a 1000 reasons why I became a conservative and this is one of them.
The fact that we have allowed American ghetto culture to dominate the lives of inner city black youth, and not talk about it —because it’s not “progressive” or “proper” to do so — is leading us nowhere.
Yes, some may weaponise it into racial hatred, but without facing the issue and a proper diagnosis, there will be no solution.
Ike Ijeh@ikeijeh
This is not a black problem, children do not generally behave like this in Ethiopia. However, it would be foolish to ignore the fact that the majority of youths in Clapham's disorder seem to be black. If we're too afraid to ask why this started, we'll never find out how it stops.

@JohnBrewin_ I think he looks in pretty good shape for 19. Many cats that make it to that sort of age are far more visibly frail or inactive

Larry is 19. Loads wondering about his fur. That's what happens when they get old; they struggle to look after their coat. Looks like he's had a good old life.

NEW Larry the Cat has just killed and eaten a mouse feet from the door of 10 Downing St during the Prime Minister’s press conference. The mouse was killed in the courtyard of the Foreign Office, dragged across the street and consumed by Larry on the grass next to Number 10’s door. We have the film. This is not an April Fool. It is the first time this has happened in my long hours standing outside 10 Downing Street. Here is Larry moments before the mouse killing.

A cutting reflection from Cardinal Ratzinger, Good Friday 2005:
"Pilate is not utterly evil. He knows that the condemned man is innocent, and he looks for a way to free him. But his heart is divided. And in the end he lets his own position, his own self-interest, prevail over what is right.
Nor are the men who are shouting and demanding the death of Jesus utterly evil. Many of them, on the day of Pentecost, will feel "cut to the heart," when Peter will say to them: "Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God... you crucified and killed by the hands of those outside the law."
But at that moment they are caught up in the crowd. They are shouting because everyone else is shouting, and they are shouting the same thing that everyone else is shouting. And in this way, justice is trampled underfoot by weakness, cowardice and fear of the diktat of the ruling mindset. The quiet voice of conscience is drowned out by the cries of the crowd.
Evil draws its power from indecision and concern for what other people think."
