    Books and broligarchy

    A couple of blogs ago, I wrote about a Rose Tremain novel that I’d missed… … that set me off looking through her works to see what else I hadn’t read, and I came across Islands of Mercy. More of that presently… This week, I wrote about what the Epstein files really show up, and…

  • The borogroves are getting mimsy again

     A verdant crown in a mailbox requires a crooked adjustment of every gate in the street. A valuable tug will intend towards the ludicrous but friendly, luxuriant bikes will sink in wandering axiomatic cribs unless nostalgic advice is accepted to put a brake on cautious account control. The supreme bleach face will fetch a good…

    Chomsky – Epstein – gender industry! — shocked?

    I’m not. Nor are you, are you? Did you notice that once social media had had a day or two to gossip about the new releases, most thinking people have come round to ‘well, we knew that was how the world worked, nothing’s going to change…’ Honestly, go over to YouTube and watch some old…

    But seriously, folks…

    Are you still ‘for the many’? Are you one of the 850,000 who signed up as soon as Jeremy Corbyn declared a new party? Are you one of the (now less than) 50,000 who are still hanging on? Or one of the 4,000 or so who are still engaged enough to join in the endorsements…

  • Campaign to save the NHS from Palantir

    Campaign to save the NHS from Palantir

    I had a wee rant the other day about Palantir, and my doctor’s surgery’s inability to communicate with humans. This evening, I listened to Jeremy Corbyn’s Peace and Justice Project meeting discussing how to fight back for our NHS. Corbyn spoke about how well the government petition against Digital ID worked, getting over a million…

  • Bolivar circles

    Bolivar circles

    There were around 20 of us – we’d come along to this month’s Left in the Cinema in Hastings. We’d just watched The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, to remind ourselves of some of the history of Venezuela. Now, the film was done, and we gathered in a circle to discuss it. We weren’t all…

  • What do we need slates for?

    What do we need slates for?

    As ‘Your Party’ struggles and spats its way to getting started, I’ve read some of the current arguments about this and that slate for Executive Committee elections, and I think this might be a key issue. What are slates for? When loads of us joined the Labour Party to support the Corbyn movement, many of…

    I’d quite like to talk to my doctor…?

    Palantir was helpful for people to communicate, until Sauron got hold of it. – Lorenzo Obi Abadinas A nice man from Birmingham or some such place phoned me up and asked me if I wanted him to arrange a shingles vaccination for me at my GP’s surgery. I said ‘yes thanks, I’ve been trying to…

  • What do you think about International Law?

    What do you think about International Law?

    What is International Law, and why was it established? Formalised by organisations like the United Nations, the purpose of International Law was initially to make trade deals between states workable but, and this is what interests me, also to protect us, the people of the world, from rogue governments. It is supposed to force states…

    But what can we dooooooo?

    On Sunday, wondering what on earth we could do about the terrible events in the world in the last few days, I listened in to an emergency rally for Venezuela, hosted by the VSC, with attendees from the main anti-war groups and other organisations, such as trade unions. There were 500 in the zoom, and…
