RE: @BellaCaledonia@mastodon.scot

Gorgeous George Galloway has donned yet another set of new clothes. And now he's in favour of an independent Scotland ... just as he has always been, says one of 2014's leading campaigners against independence.

It was time for a change, so last week I hired a house moving service.

They arrived punctually, and packed up all my furniture and possessions. I paid them, and then they were gone.

But my house is still here.

I thought they'd put it beside a river, near trees.

But my house hasn't moved an inch. It's just empty. No furniture, no stuff. Not even a mug or a kettle. No bed, no bedding.

#USAnians have another #NoKings protest on the 28th, against Trump.

But they don't mean it. Their demands are absurd: just "the foundation this nation was built on".

Oops! The #USA was built on #genocide, #colonisation, #racism, and #violence. Time to do a LOT better.

If you really want No Kings, then abolish the #ImperialPresidency, and the executive presidency. Remove all powers of decree, nomination, veto, and military command. And evict your president from his mansion.

#Simple

Since the US/Israeli war on #Iran began, this passage from #TheGreatGatsby has been widely quoted. But I'm uncomfortable.

Sure, this clearly applies to #Trump. The fate of people bombed or displaced doesn't concern him at all.

But it also applies to anyone with so much military power. Every #POTUS has been a careless killer.

The liberal American story of Trump shaming the #USA is false. There is no virtuous incarnation of the violent empire. Trump just omits the usual spin.

#RachelCorrie died 23 years ago today, on 16 March 2003. She was crushed by an #Israeli army bulldozer, when trying to prevent the demolition of a house in #Rafah, #Gaza, owned by a #Palestinian doctor and his family. Rachel was 23-years-old. See http://rachelcorriefoundation.org

#JimPage's song "I'd rather be dancing" is based on letters Rachel wrote home to her parents before Israelis murdered her: https://youtu.be/QxazIsQE1XE

Rachel placed her body between civilians and killers. That's what a war hero is.

#WilliamHague is odd. At 16, he was an awkward right-winger at the #ConservativeParty conference. He was similarly gawky as a by-election winner in 1988 and by the time he retired as Tory leader aged 40, he was still often #cringetastic.

A decade later, Hague re-emerged as elder statesman-like Foreign Sec to young #DavidCameron. He had been reborn as a perma-60yo establishment stereotype.

Sadly, #CamillaTominey's interview sheds no light on who he really is.

#PresidentConnolly's statement on #InternationalWomensDay 2026 was about peace, and Ireland's #Article29 constitutional commitment to international law.

#CatherineConnolly's statement begins: "The violations of international law we are witnessing are shocking and numbing, but we cannot afford inaction.

What we have witnessed in recent days in the Middle East, and beyond, are not political disputes. They are deliberate assaults on international law."

#Germany's Culture Minister #WolframWeimer of the #CDU is a former leading journalist, and now an extreme right culture warrior who suppresses critics of #Israel and of #imperialism, and denounce supporters of #Palestine for "#antisemitism". In 2017, #Weimer condemned #UNESCO as ideologically controlled by despots, Islamists, & left-wing ecologists. He uses security services to censor cultural awards.

58 years after #MyLai, Minab joins the long list of American massacres: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_war_crimes#Iraq_War

Expect from the #Pentagon the usual pile of lies. And from the #Democrats the usual "we're better than this" lies.

This happens with invasions.

Why is #CliveLewis?

The #LabourParty MP for Norwich South is a good critic of #neoliberalism, and of public alienation from politics. He is right that proportional representation could open up politics, tho like most English critics of #FPTP he seems unaware of the importance of #STV.

But all he seems to do about it is 3 or 4 articles per year in #TheGuardian and a few TV appearances.

Radical change requires sustained hard work to build movements. Clive isn't that.

#UK institutions including the #NaturalHistoryMuseum & #CambridgeUniversity hold more than 263,000 human remains, #TheGuardian finds. 37,996 of these items are identified as being from outside the UK.

I have encountered evidence of so many horrors of the #BritishEmpire that I am rarely shocked. Often angered, but rarely surprised.

But the sheer scale of this global #graveRobbery stuns. YOU #GHOULS! 😡

England loves #legalFictions.

The last legal #execution in #England was in 1964. #CapitalPunishment for murder was abolished in 1969.

But killings of convicted people continue at ~ 4/year. No hangman, just other prisoners.

The recipe is simple. Concentrate vulnerable or despised prisoners in underfunded and under-supervised small spaces with no privacy and no hope. Heat and stir, to watch 300 deaths per year.

#IanHuntley is just the latest, killed far more brutally than by #execution.

Hilarious report in The Guardian: "new data that suggests Labour could drop from first to fourth place in London in the May elections – losing control of all but two of their councils – with the Greens soaring into first place to take nine."

The data is probably right, but its far too late for Labour to save itself. Two years of rightwing horrors can't be undone in two months.

Wonderful news for anyone being investigated by #London's #MetropolitanPolice!

It turns out that the #MetPol's definition of #flightRisk does not include being unemployed, v v rich, and extraordinarily well-connected to the world's wealthiest and most politically powerful people. Not even when the offence suspected carries up to a 25 year sentence.

Obviously it is mere coincidence that the suspect employs fabulously expensive lawyers.

Keir #Starmer remains the Green Party's greatest asset. His record unpopularity has repelled even voters who have been loyal to the #LabourParty for decades.

The more Starmer stays and fights, the more the Greens are boosted.

But of course it's not Starmer's choice. Most of his party want him gone, but they can't agree on a candidate who is actually available.

So he may remain for months, or even years, while his party bleeds out. The Greens are very lucky.

RE: @holdenweb@freeradical.zone

No, #Starmer is not toast. I gotta disagree with @holdenweb@freeradical.zone.

Yes, Starmer deserves to be toast. His leadership was fractally fooked long ago, and is founded on ststenatic mendacity by a man with no political values and no political skills.

But party leaders fall only when their own MPs turn on them. And while most Labour MPs have no faith in Starmer, they can't agree on an eligible replacement.

So Starmer is safe for now. Unloved, but safe.

It seems that the Daily Hate agrees with bookies that the Green Menace is favourite to win tomorrow's #GortonAndDenton #byelection. They don't waste a front page on no no-hopers.

Sadly, the Hate just focuses on Green plans for the future. They give Greens no credit for their heroic achievement of driving the Windsors mad and letting the cops loose on them.

The UK has made detailed plans to spend £46 million on a national memorial to the mother of an alleged #rapist.

The late Lizzie Windsor is believed to have funded most of the £12 million reportedly paid by her son Andy to settle a lawsuit by a woman who alleged that he raped her.

In the UK, rape cover up doesn't rule out a national memorial in #London.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_to_Elizabeth_II,_London

No national monument is planned for #VirginiaGiuffre, the woman allegedly raped.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been pictured leaving police custody.

He looks like the electrodes are still attached.

Only 42 days after the murder of #ReneeGood in #Minneapolis by #ICE, a cruel new horror has been unleashed on her family.

Yes, everyone's worst nightmare has come true. #U2 has released a song about her.

It's a shocking blow. #MakeBonoHistory

#JonathanDimbleby used to be a journalist. Now he is a stalwart of the establishment and personal friend of #KingCharles.

So today he was shamelessly spinning away on the BBC that the monarchy hasn't been damaged by the #AndrewMountbattenWindsor show, because — says Jonathan — the #royalfamily is a very different thing to the monarchy. 🙄

#YCMTSU. It's too idiotic for credible fiction.

This is what a rotten media system looks like.

"A man is now helping police with their enquiries".

In the old days, English cops used this phrase to describe a man they had nicked. It conveyed plod being straight-faced and solemn-voiced while the suspect was knocked about by teams of plod trained to leave no bruises. The change in terminology was triggered by the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1974, aka #PACE.

But if was still the old days, I can't imagine any shortage of cops ready to "encourage" the Norfolk man to "help" the plod.

Ex-#PrinceAndrew gets the Royal flush. Decades too late, but at last he begins his journey down the royal u-bend.

Obviously, it is pure coincidence that this arrest of #PrinceNonce takes the heat off Keir #Starmer's political woes. The #ThamesValleyPolice operated entirely independently.

And thankfully, there is no risk of the #ExPrince being #suicided. He will get a fair trial, just like #LucyLetby.

European #fascism drew heavily on the symbolism, techniques, and goals of the #USA's rightwing. #FintanOToole eloquently punctures the myth that fascism is a European concept misapplied to American politics.

#oToole is well past his peak, but this is is an important framing of #Trump and #MAGA.

The death of Rev #JesseJackson deprives #USA of its last great #CivilRights leader. The great tradition lives on, but without a figurehead.

Rep. John Lewis said in 1988 that Jackson’s 2 runs for presidency “opened some doors that some minority person will be able to walk through and become president”.

Sadly, the man who walked through was #BarackObama. Jackson wept with joy at the election, but #Obama was a vain peacock, not a leader. The movement was hijacked, the opening squandered.

#ICE's occupation of #Minneapolis is opposed by most Americans. But the #OvertonWindow is narrow. Debate is framed largely around ICE, rather than as #imperialBlowback from overseas wars and the militarised racism within the USA. The left press explores the big picture, and the #NYT carried an oped by David Wallace-Wells https://archive.is/UGNfs . But MSM reporting and Democrats continue to frame ICE as #Trump's overreach, rather than as normal American repression now visiting suburbs.
