I wrote a thing about Orwell and "patriotism"; the odd and interesting "love" part in "love of country", that isn't dinner dates but might be to do with possession and jealousy. You should read it because it is amusing, some think insightful. abc.net.au/religion/the-p…

Foreign states continue to destabilise our politics & elections. But Britain still in denial. Johnson blocked both Russia report & inquiry as did Starmer. Will @andyburnham finally take action? Or continue to fight hybrid warfare with political rhetoric (& Twitter statements)?

@RenaudFoucart Because they don’t care about immigration. They just loathe all people citizens inclusive who look or sound different to them and don’t have other interests or ambitions sufficient to compete with this « priority ». Political dead end « addressing their concerns » @FennellJW

Carney is super popular, in part thanks to not being Trump. Starmer super unpopular and on the way out. But both attempted the same experiment: radical policies to cut migration numbers because that's "what voters want" Result: voters "who care about migration" just ignore it

@MichaelTakeMP He does have a musical bone in his body. It’s in the knee.

3/ Making lists of political enemies is the sort of activity Amnesty used to actively and admirably campaign against, now it does precisely that. Further, the "report" in question counsels unlawful belief discrimination by regulators and funding bodies.

🚨🔥#forêtdefontainebleau : l'incendie se rapprocherait de la ville, les hélicoptères se ravitaillent désormais dans le canal et l'étang aux carpes du château. D'après des témoins, l'édifice serait en cours d'évacuation. Le feu menacerait également le secteur de la Faisanderie

@singharj @FennellJW Because they might report the Russians and money landerers in his life.

@United24media «Contre nous de la tyrannie»

⚡️ BREAKING: France to provide 16 Rafale jets and missile licenses to Ukraine. President Emmanuel Macron announced that France will deliver 16 Rafale fighter jets between 2028 and 2029 and grant Ukraine licenses to manufacture Aster-30 interceptors, AASM Hammer bombs, and SCALP cruise missiles.

« Forget climate change what matters is the economy » Whereupon climate change destroys the most vital transport network (or whatever) in the economy. Etc and passim.

For all the people seeing "boriswave" as a treason of Brexit: - European nurses stopped coming after Brexit. People died because of that. - The UK scrambled to hire staff from abroad, often less qualified. This saved lives. - Nurses and care workers don't grow on trees.

@PopovaProf often among americans, some of them in office

It's crazy how some call the Russo-Ukrainian war a "forever war" for the US when the US never fought and is increasingly on the sidelines even in terms of aid and Russia started and refuses to end the war. It's indicative of completely irrational, warped anti-Americanism

Absolute barbarism. russia dropped a 3-ton aerial bomb on residential buildings in Orikhiv, Zaporizhzhia region. If this isn't terrorism, what is?

BBC’s « You are dead to me », being somehow a comedy podcast about history, is one of those programmes which both a) irritates, and b) has me accusing my own irritation of intellectual snobbery. So I listen to an episode once every six months. Every time the same result.

Perennial unmentionable of « the immigration debate » which somehow explains Boris Johnson.

@RenaudFoucart @connellyandrew Jawohl

@DavidRobjant @connellyandrew you are harsh. some people just want to force women to have more babies.

The widespread and unquestioned use of the term 'Boriswave' in the UK media is another example of how the mainstream launders far-right discourse around immigration.

@RenaudFoucart @connellyandrew and the veg pickin and.. ROBOTS WE DON’T NEED IMMIGRATION IT WILL ALL BE ROBOTS AND AI …is what these loonies finally reply

@RenaudFoucart @connellyandrew To which they all reply: why can’t the yoof of today just do double shifts to cover both the care home and the nuclear deterrant?
